Proper maintenance of your Hydro Puls Robotic Pool Cleaner is essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. Here’s a detailed guide covering all aspects of maintenance, from cleaning the filter to storage tips.

Why Maintenance is Important

Regular maintenance:

  • Enhances the device’s efficiency.
  • Prevents wear and tear.
  • Extends the lifespan of your robotic cleaner.
  • Avoids costly repairs or replacements.

Step 1: Cleaning the Filter Basket

After every cleaning session, it’s crucial to clean the filter basket to remove debris and prevent blockages.

1. Turn Off the Cleaner:

• Ensure the cleaner is powered off and unplugged from the power supply to avoid electric shock.

2. Access the Filter Basket:

• Open the filter cover by pressing the designated button.

• Lift the filter basket using its handle.

3. Remove the Panels:

• Detach the filter panels carefully by pushing them out with your thumbs.

4. Rinse the Filter:

• Use a garden hose to thoroughly clean the filter panels and basket. Remove dirt, algae, and debris.

• Avoid letting debris dry on the filter, as this can reduce its effectiveness.

5. Reassemble:

• Reattach the filter panels and insert the basket back into the cleaner.

• Close the filter cover securely.

Step 2: Inspecting and Cleaning the Buoys

If your device includes cleaning or signal buoys, they require periodic checks.

1. Inspect the Cables:

• Look for cracks, wear, or frayed wires.

• Replace damaged cables immediately to avoid malfunctions.

2. Clean the Sponge (Cleaning Buoy):

• After every cleaning cycle, remove and wash the sponge in clean water to prevent algae buildup.

3. Secure Connections:

• Ensure all cable connections are tightly fastened to avoid water ingress.

Step 3: Battery Maintenance

The battery is a critical component, and proper care ensures it lasts longer.

1. Charging:

• Always use the provided adapter and charging port.

• Do not overcharge the battery; unplug once the indicator light turns green.

2. Storage:

• If not using the cleaner for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) before storage.

• Avoid storing the battery in extreme heat or cold.

3. Replacement:

• If the battery shows signs of reduced runtime, consider replacing it with an authorized replacement.

Step 4: Exterior Cleaning

1. Rinse After Each Use:

• Use fresh water to rinse off pool chemicals that may adhere to the exterior.

• Focus on the wheels and brushes, as debris can get trapped in these areas.

2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

• Do not use cleaning agents or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device.

Step 5: Storing the Cleaner

Proper storage is vital to maintain the device’s functionality during off-seasons or when not in use.

1. Dry the Cleaner:

• After use, remove the cleaner from the pool and let it dry completely to prevent mold or rust.

2. Avoid Direct Sunlight:

• Store the cleaner in a shaded, cool area to prevent heat damage.

3. Organize Accessories:

• Store cables, buoys, and the power supply neatly to avoid tangling or damage.

Step 6: Routine Inspections

Regular checks can prevent minor issues from turning into major problems.

1. Cables and Connections:

• Look for loose connections or damage.

2. Wheels and Brushes:

• Inspect for wear and ensure they spin freely. Replace if necessary.

3. LED Indicators:

• Familiarize yourself with the indicator lights to detect low battery or errors promptly.

Step 7: Protecting the Cleaner During Chemical Treatments

1. Remove Before Adding Chemicals:

• Take the cleaner out of the pool when adding chlorine, acid, or other pool chemicals.

2. Wait for Chemicals to Dilute:

• Ensure the pool water’s chemical balance returns to normal levels before reinserting the cleaner.

Step 8: Firmware Updates

For app-connected models, keeping the firmware up to date is essential for optimal performance.

1. Connect to the App:

• Use the “Smart Life” app to check for updates.

2. Perform OTA Updates:

• Follow the app instructions to update the cleaner’s software. Ensure the cleaner is dry and powered on during the process.

Step 9: Troubleshooting and Repairs

Address small issues promptly to avoid larger problems.

1. Common Issues:

Clogged Filter: Clean the basket and panels.

Weak Signal: Check the buoy connection or move closer to the device.

Reduced Runtime: Charge the battery fully or replace if needed.

2. Seek Professional Help:

• For motor issues or major repairs, contact authorized service personnel.

Step 10: Seasonal Shutdown

If you won’t use the cleaner for an extended period (e.g., during winter):

1. Thorough Cleaning:

• Clean all components, including the filter, buoys, and cables.

2. Storage Preparation:

• Disconnect all cables and accessories.

• Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.

3. Battery Care:

• Maintain a partial charge and check periodically to ensure it remains healthy.

Quick Maintenance Tips

• Clean the filter basket after every use.

• Inspect cables and connectors weekly.

• Charge the battery only with the provided adapter.

• Store the cleaner in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
