Product Questions

Which pool robot is right for my pool?

Our Dolphin series works best for residential pools up to 50ft, while Polaris models handle larger pools up to 100ft. Consider:

  • Pool surface (concrete, vinyl, fiberglass)
  • Debris type (leaves, sand, fine dirt)
  • Pool shape and features (stairs, ledges)

How often should I run my pool cleaning robot?

For optimal results:

  • 2-3 times per week for average residential pools
  • Daily during heavy leaf fall seasons
  • After heavy pool usage or storms

Most models complete a full clean in 2-3 hours.

What maintenance do the robots require?

Basic maintenance includes:

  1. Weekly filter basket emptying
  2. Monthly brush/track inspection

Technical Support

How do I set up my new pool robot?

Setup is simple:

  1. Unroll the cable completely
  2. Install the filter basket
  3. Place robot in pool (no tools needed)
  4. Plug into power supply

Each unit comes with printed instructions and we offer video tutorials online.

Why is my robot not climbing walls properly?

Common solutions for climbing issues:

  • Check tracks/brushes for debris
  • Ensure proper cable floating (not tangled)
  • Confirm water level is at middle of skimmer
  • Clean filter basket (reduced suction affects climbing)

If problems persist, our technicians can diagnose remotely.
