Correct programming of your robot pool cleaner will result in optimal cleaning, money savings, and a like-new pool all with no micro management. For those with a Beatbot, a Maytronics pool cleaner, or a similar make, the ability to schedule cleans and know how to schedule modes can vastly improve performance and limit how frequently you’ll need to do maintenance on your pool vacuum robot.
Get to Know Your Robot Pool Cleaner’s Controls
The control systems that most recent robotic pool cleaners on the market have are the following:
Onboard buttons
Remote controls
Apps on smartphones using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi
Your exact arrangement will be different depending on your device. More advanced models such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro, and Beatbot AquaSense 2 come with app connectivity offering a smart way to program, and take pool care to the next level.
Step 1: Set Up Your Robot Pool Cleaner
Things You Should Do Before You Start Programming!
The robotic pool cleaner is then inserted into the water and completely submerged.
The power supply is remote at least 10 feet from the pool.
The floating cord is disentangled and fully extended.
Inspect your skimmer and pool vacuum filters to make sure you have good circulation before you begin.
Step 2: Enter the “Cleaning Cycle Mode”
And most have at least a couple of cleaning cycles:
Quick Clean (for light messes)
Normal Clean (for the routine)
Deep Clean (heavy dirt and debris or post-storm cleanups)
To choose a mode:
Set your preferred cycle with on-board buttons or the app interface.
Press “Start” or “Confirm” to confirm your choice.
If you have a wall-climbing pool cleaner, make sure it’s in wall-cleaning mode so all surfaces are covered.
Step 3: Plan to Clean at a Certain Time
Smart pool robot pool cleaners can be accessed even when you are out and can be set to automatic cleaning schedules. In-app programming will typically accept:
Daily
Every other day
Weekly
Such as in the Beatbot app:
Tap on your device.
Go to “Scheduler.”
Select days and times.
Review and save your calendar to your device.
If you can’t remember when the last time you cleaned the pool, this is the feature for you, or if you want to reduce your pool time from cleaning so you have a cleaner surface for your swimmers, this is also the feature for you.
Step 4: Set Filters in Accordance with Pools Conditions
The more advanced cleaners have functions such as:
Waterline scrubbing
Floor-only mode
Algae focus setting (great in conjunction with an algae vacuum)
Boost mode (ideal for post acid wash pool sessions or after big storms)
Use the device manual or manufacturer’s website for a listing of your device’s programmable modes. For example, Beatbot’s official support page include detailed programmign tutorials.
Step 5: Perform a Test Run
After you have applied your settings:
Re-place the unit in the pool
Activate the selected cycle
Watch for navigation for a Minimum of 5 minutes.
Observe how your robot pool cleaner handles debris, corners, steps, and walls. This can help you catch issues early, such as missed zones or weak suction.
And if the cleaner labor raises a ruckus or seems not to be working, inspect the filter for a clog or the cord for tangles, both common reasons that a pool robot cleaner may have trouble in buildup-prone environments.
Solving Programming Problems Here are some of the most common programming issues for this case:
If it does not react to changing robot pool settings:
Restart the device and app
Reset to factory settings
Firmware Add new update through app(Method 1) on mobile app
If the problem is not resolved, please contact support via the Maytronics troubleshooting or the Beatbot help center.
Do I need a pool booster pump?
A few older models need a pool booster pump to raise the pressure, but the majority of new pool cleaning robots are self-contained and don’t need one. Before installing the model please verify if it is applicable to your model.
Do Pool Robots Pick Up Algae?
Yes if they have algae-specific brushes and ultra-fine filters. Other Uses And Pre-Treatment Suggestions:Chemically pre-treat heavy infestations before you use your cleaner. Once the fitting is tightened, if the problem persists, then you may need to do a full drain and scrub-learn how to drain and inground pool without a pump in our related guide.
Conclusion
Knowing how to program your robot pool cleaner is key to keeping your pool sparkling clean with as little effort as possible. Whether your sanitation system is a high-tech model such as Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro or Beatbot AquaSense 2, or a simple one, intelligent pressing optimizations have significantly improved the cleaning efficiency and the user friendliness of the systems. 2 – Look over your schedule regularly (at least 4 times a year) and change according to the use of your pool, dirt conditions, and chemical adjustments.
