FAQ

What should I do if my robotic pool cleaner’s cable becomes twisted? 

Here at ARPCR we replace more floating cables than anything else.  If you don’t look after your floating cable, the floating cable can become twisted and can affect the robots ability to clean the pool.

Leaving the floating cable plugged into the power supply all the time is the most common cause of twisted cables.

For a better operating robot, unplug your floating cable from the power supply when you have finished using it.  Stretch the cable out in a straight line.  Starting at the robot pull the cable to yourself looping it up.  Hang the cable on  the robot caddy or on a hook on the wall.  Do not wrap the cable around the robot.  Rolling the cable up as per the instructions in your manual will ensure you do not have problems with the floating cable.

Do i need to regularly service my robot pool cleaner?

Is your robot cleaner looking a bit tired?  Not running around the pool like it used to?

At ARPCR we recommend getting your robot serviced during the off season.  This is a good time to have the whole robot Inspected. Essential parts like the drive tracks, filter pads, drive belts, gears and bearings can be inspected for wear, and replaced if necessary.

What filter can i use with my robot pool cleaner?

Save time and money using the right filter to clean your dirty pool! Did you know you can buy disposable filter pads to help clean up a dirty pool?  This saves you clogging your fine filter pads and having to constantly clean them.

Give us a call so we can let you know what types of disposable filters are available for your robot.
