🧼 10 Important Tips for Long-Lasting Operation of Pool Cleaning Robots

A pool cleaning robot is a valuable assistant in maintaining crystal-clear water and a spotless pool. To ensure your device operates reliably for years and delivers maximum efficiency, it's important to follow a few basic usage and maintenance rules.

Below are 10 key tips that will help you extend the lifespan of your robot and ensure flawless cleaning every time:

1. ✅ Proper Chemical Balance of Water

To ensure optimal robot performance, the pool water must have:

• pH value: between 7.0 and 7.4
• Water temperature: between 15°C and 35°C
• Chlorine level: less than 0.8 mg/l
• Salt content: up to a maximum of 5 g/l

⚠️ Improper chemical balance can damage robot components and reduce its efficiency.

2. 🔌 Use Only the Necessary Length of Cable

Always unwind only as much cable as needed. This facilitates

• the robot's movement,
• prevents tangling,
• extends the cable's lifespan.

3. 🌤️ Never Dry the Robot in Direct Sunlight

Sun exposure can damage plastic and other robot components. After cleaning, dry the robot in the shade and in a well-ventilated area.

4. ⏱️ Use the Timer Function Wisely

If your robot has a timer function, it's recommended:

• to remove it from the water after each cycle
• avoid unnecessary exposure to water and chemicals.

5. 🔍 Check the Connection Cables

Regularly inspect the connection cable between the robot and the control unit. Damaged or twisted cables can cause operational issues.

6. 🧪 Avoid Using the Robot After Shock Chlorination

After intense chemical treatments (e.g., shock chlorination), wait before using the robot. Aggressive chemicals can damage mechanical and electronic parts.

7. 📘 Follow the User Manual Instructions

Thoroughly read the user manual and adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations—especially if you're using a robot like the CF PRO. Use it exclusively for the purposes for which it is intended.

8. 🔁 Use the Robot Regularly

For optimal results: 

• it's recommended to use the robot at least twice a week, especially during the swimming season
• regular operation reduces the accumulation of dirt and algae

9. 💧 Prepare the Robot After a Long Pause

If the robot hasn't been used for a while, immerse it in water for 5–10 minutes before starting to soften the brushes. This increases cleaning efficiency.

10. 🧽 Regular Cleaning After Each Use

After each use, be sure to:

• Remove dirt, small stones, and algae
• Check and clean the drive rollers
• Remove and wash the filter cartridges
• Avoid using a pressure washer—use a garden hose or a regular bucket

TIP: Keep the Original Packaging!

In case of servicing or transportation, the original packaging offers the best protection for your device.

With these 10 tips, your pool cleaning robot will be durable, efficient, and ready for every season.

Regular maintenance = long-term savings and a spotless pool!
