Quick answers
What is wrong?
Coverage is poor — often clogged filter or wrong cleaning mode for pool shape.
What you might notice
- Misses areas
- Repeats same path
Can I fix this myself?
Usually yes for cleaning/clearing. Difficulty: easy · about 10-20 min. If unsure or the fault returns, use mail-in repair.
What you need
- Soft cloth
- Garden hose
Do this
- Confirm filter is clear and battery is full.
- Select Floor, Wall+Floor, or Auto mode as appropriate for rectangular vs irregular pools (per model).
- Restart from the centre for better initial coverage on grid-path models. Steps may be crossed but not cleaned — scrub steps manually.
- If still poor, request repair.
Parts (only if cleaning fails)
- None for a basic clean
