No, there's no need to pay extra.

The Smorobot package includes 1 filter basket and 1 standard charging adapter.

If you like fast charging, you need to buy an additional fast charging adapter, which can fully charge the robot within 1.5 hours for 3.5-hour runtime.

Smorobot service robots are fit for nearly all pool surfaces, including Pebble, Plaster, Concrete, Paint, Tiles, Gunite, Vinyl Line, PVC and etc.

Yes, it has a waterproof rating of IPX8, so it’s entirely waterproof. Make sure to tighten the Charging Port seal cap when you use it.

Try to clean the pool when it’s not in use.

Try to clean the pool when the inlet is not working.

We have tested in a large number of underwater real-world scenarios, a Smorobot can easily pass a variety of common drain covers.

Smorobots can easily climb up the steps.

However, in order to fully clean the floor, walls, and waterline, the robot integrates a large-capacity battery and a 4.08L filter basket, so the size of the robot is larger than the width of the normal steps.

It’s hard for the robot to move or turn around on the steps and collect the debris efficiently. So, it’s a design trade-off.

When the robot detects it’s on the steps, it will climb down autonomously and continue cleaning the floor or walls of the pool.

The high-speed brushes of our Smorobots fit for any material of pool surface, including Pebble, Plaster, Concrete, Paint, Tiles, Gunite, Vinyl Line, PVC and etc.

Meanwhile, the brushes can be easily disassembled and replaced with new ones.

The recommended environment temperature for charging is 6–35°C.

Do not charge your robot in unfavorable temperatures, e.g. in heat exposure.

Tips:

The power supply should be placed in a well-ventilated and shaded location.

Please make sure the seal cap for Charging Port is tightened to keep water out.

The robot will keep cleaning the pool until the battery is low and then stop at the side of the pool.

Make sure the battery is sufficiently charged (battery indicator lights up green).

If more than 5 LED beads of battery indicator light up, the default program is to clean walls first, then the floor;

if fewer than 5 LED beads light up, the default program is to clean the floor only.

Open the top cover, insert a clean filter basket in the robot.

Decide how you’d like to retrieve the robot. Two options are currently offered:

When the cleaning job is done, you can retrieve the robot with the hook.

Make sure to tighten the Charging Port seal cap to keep water out.

Different cleaning procedures are carried out in two/three modes:

Standard Cleaning Mode: If you haven’t cleaned your pool for a long time, or your pool is very dirty and you want to clean all pool surfaces, feel free to use Standard Cleaning Mode.

Floor Only Mode: If you clean your pool on a regular basis and only want to clean the floor, feel free to use Floor Only Mode for daily cleaning.

Weekly Timer: If you want the robot to clean the pool 3 times a week on one charge, it cleans the floor every 48 hours in W mode.

Note: Weekly timer will be activated only on full charge.

It’s recommended to drop it from a longer side of the pool, with no steps around or uneven floor at the bottom.

We recommend taking your Smorobot out after each use to empty and clean the filter.

Then store it in a cool, dry place.

We also recommend rinsing your cleaner with clear water regularly to remove any excess chemicals or salts.

For Smorobot robots with a weekly timer option, the robot can stay in your pool for a week; you will need to clean the filter at the end of the weekly cycle.

If the cleaner will not be in use for an extended period of time, perform the following storage steps:

1. OFF-SEASON STORAGE

Thoroughly clean and dry the filter basket, brush rollers, track treads, and cogs.

2. Ensure no water is left in the cleaner.

3. Fully charge the cleaner before storing.

4. Storage conditions:

Place it in a well-ventilated and shaded location.

Keep the temperature between 5°–45°C / 41°–113°F, and humidity lower than 80% RH.

5. Battery Maintenance:

Charge the battery at least once every 3 months to protect it from over-discharging.

6. Safety:

Keep the cleaner out of the reach of children or persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
