Robot Pool Cleaner Help: How to Troubleshoot Common Issues with Your Robot Pool Cleaner

Your robot pool cleaner helps maintain your pool water clear with little effort on your part. But there comes times when the best pool robotic pool cleaner would greatly benefit from any help, even just a little bit. You may be using the Beatbot, Maytronics pool cleaner or a different brand, but the more you know how to troubleshoot common problems, the more time and money it’ll save you.

Robot Pool Cleaner Not Moving

If your robot pool cleaner does not move at all, here are some things to look for:

• Power Supply: Check that the cleaner is turned on and that the power unit is on.
• Cable Connections: Check out your wires for fraying and/or loose barrel connections.
• Drive Motor or Tracks: Obstructions or damage could disable the drive motor or tracks.
• Try giving the wheels a manual spin and look at the impeller. If you have a wall climbing model, ensure the tracks and brushes are also in good shape.

Cleaner Moves But Does Not Suck Up Debris

The filter canister is full or the vac has a blockage. To fix it:

• Rinse or replace the filter
• Check for leaves, twigs or rubbish in suction ports
• Ensure the impeller rotates freely

Even higher-end models such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro or Beatbot AquaSense 2 all require regular filter cleaning to keep that amazing suction. This is important particularly when you’re dealing with algae, if you use a pool vacuum for algae, a clogged filter can significantly reduce its efficacy.

Robot Cleaner Failsto Climb Walls

If you have a robot pool unit that will not climb it could be due to:

• Worn or slick brushes
• Air leaks cause lack of suction
• Clogged water intake

Inspect the brushes and impeller. When climbing walls Most robot pool cleaner models should be in “floor and wall” mode to be able to climb pool walls. If you are using a pool booster pump, make sure it is working as it may cause lower pressure with some cleaner models.

Tangled Cable Issues

Wires that get tangled often can limit freedom of movement and harm the inside parts. To avoid this:

• Lay the cable out straight and let it unwind prior to installation
• Hang or swing it loosely Friends never wind tape back up tightly!
• Use a swivel cable if you have one, especially with larger or deeper pools.

Smart navigation robot pool cleaners or those with tangle-free capabilities, like those in the Beatbot and Maytronics brands, can minimize cable woes.

Unit Stops Mid-Cycle

How to troubleshoot when your robot pool cleaner randomly stops running:

• Look for an over-heating or an error message on the control unit.
• Make sure there are no blockages to flow of water
• After about 10 minutes, unplug the device and plug back in.

You can also visit the brand’s official website or refer to the manual to access diagnostic codes. I.e Beatbot support or Maytronics troubleshooting gives you nice error code guidance.

Pool Still Has Algae or Dirt After Being Cleaned

If at a 0, still the debris is not cleaned completely, even after one cycle means there is such following:

• The cleaner’s backswing is a girder short.
• Filters are not fine enough to remove fine particles
• You have not pre-treated the visible algae

Can a pool robot suck up algae? Yes, but you need to use the right scrubbing brushes and fine mesh filters. If you have persistent stains, you may need to acid wash your pool surface, or to spot-treat the affected areas with a brush.
