Need Help With Your Pool Robot Cleaner?

When choosing a robotic pool cleaner, consider your pool’s size, shape, leaf load, cable vs cordless pool robot, other desired features (e.g., remote control), and budget.

Pool Robots Australia staff have a long history of servicing pools, pool equipment and pool robot cleaners. We've seen a lot of robotic pool cleaners in many different types of pools. And, we only sell robotic pool cleaners that we feel provide excellent value, paired with expert advice tailored to your pool's specific needs.

Robotic pool cleaners generally perform better than suction cleaners.

Their main difference is that robot pool cleaners operate separately to the main pool equipment and therefore keep the skimmer box available to skim leaves before they sink to the bottom of the pool. They also scrub the floor, walls & waterline; most suction cleaners don't.

A robotic pool cleaner consumes much less electricity than suction or pressure cleaners as they are not relying on a pool pump which is one of the most electricity demanding appliances in the home. As a result, robotic pool cleaners consume less energy than suction cleaners.

Pool robots are easy to use because they do not require any hoses or other equipment - which can be cumbersome - for automatic operation.

In general, robotic pool cleaners clean better and allow better filtration and debris collection via the skimmer box.

No, robotic pool cleaners are energy-efficient. They usually use less electricity than running a pool pump for suction cleaning. Pool pumps are one of the household appliances that use the most electricity.

A robotic pool cleaner uses much less electricity than suction or pressure cleaners. They have their own power supply and running time and therefore only work for a few hours per cycle.

The warranty periods for robotic pool cleaners differ between manufacturers, but most good quality pool robots have at least 2 year (24 months) manufacturer's warranty and a possibility to extend the coverage.

Some have a standard 3 year (36 months) warranty or on site warranty.

There are manufacturers that offer a lifetime warranty on certain parts of the system.

Pool Robots Australia staff can provide further information on the warranty of the robotic pool cleaners we sell; see also pool robot cleaner product descriptions.

Pool Robots Australia can assist repair or advise on a new robotic pool cleaner.

Some of the latest robotic pool cleaners rely on high-end navigation, including mapping technology. A number of sensors map the shape and size of the pool that these robotic pool cleaners use. They can even detect the walls and other obstacles. It is these advanced sensors that enable them to cover the whole pool surface, optimise the cleaning path, navigate through obstacles, and clean better. This level of technology is generally only available in the more expensive pool robots.

However, most pool robot cleaners use basic sensors and algorithms to determine the cleaning path. Over repeated cycles, they will still give your pool a very good clean.

The life span of a robotic pool cleaner depends on usage, pool size, and maintenance.

A well-kept pool robot vacuum can last 3 to 7 years, depending on usage, time out of the pool & storage. Frequent use or leaving the pool robot in the pool for long periods of time can significantly reduce the life of robotic pool cleaners. Battery life is normally 2 to 5 years, depending on the manufacturer.

Pool Robots Australia recommend only using your robotic pool cleaner a maximum of 3 days per week. Long-term submersion can cause water to enter the motor or cable.

Once the robotic pool cleaner has finished cleaning, remove it from the pool, empty the filter basket, hose it off (dry the charging contacts if battery-operated), and store out of the weather. Keep it out of direct sunlight and in a cool, dry location.

The type of debris and pool water chemistry can affect the life of a pool robot cleaner. They are not recommended for green pools with thick algae.

No. Most manufacturer's do not recommend leaving robotic pool cleaners in the pool for extended periods of time.

While they are very well built, the pressure of the water and action of chlorine, salt and fine particles can degrade the seals of the motor or perish the cable. This can lead to expensive repairs.

Pool Robots Australia recommends a maximum of 3 days in the pool per week. The pool robot should be removed after each cleaning cycle, the filter basket emptied, the robotic pool cleaner dried (especially the charging contacts if a battery-operated machine), before it is stored out of direct sunlight and weather. And the pool water chemistry should also be correctly balanced.

Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for more specific recommendations.

The majority of pool robots are suitable for vinyl pool surface. Check the manufacturer's specifications to see whether a particular robotic pool cleaner is suitable for vinyl-lined pools.

Some pool robots can damage the pool liner, especially if a vinyl liner, particularly if the chemistry of the water (alkalinity, pH, calcium hardness, free chlorine) is not kept in balance.

Poor chemical balance may cause the liners to deteriorate and become more brittle and prone to breaking.

Yes, a robotic pool cleaner can successfully remove light algae due to its scrubbing brushes and superior filtration system, which can capture microscopic spores, preventing them from settling and slowing growth.

However, robotic pool cleaners are NOT suitable for heavy algae or green pools (i.e., so green you can't see the bottom). The fine filters will quickly block, the filter basket will be choked with debris and this reduces water flow through the pool robot. Most robotic pool cleaners automatically stop when the filter basket is full to prevent damage to the machine.

Robotic pool cleaners are an expensive investment to reduce pool owners effort in general cleaning each week. Not to clean a green pool. The pool robot cleaner will last much longer with a little TLC.

Yes, you can swim around while the pool robot is cleaning, but exercise some caution not to bump into the robotic pool cleaner and check that cables are not a hazard.

If the robotic pool cleaner has a cable in the pool, Pool Robots Australia recommend removing the pool robot while swimming.
