Frequently Asked Questions - Eclipse MAYTRONICS

How do I set up the Maytronics Eclipse pool cleaner for the first time?

Unwind the cable completely to remove kinks. Position the power supply about 3 m (10 ft) from the pool edge, centered on the long side. Remove any plastic coverings on brushes. Attach the floating cable by aligning the notch and turning clockwise. Plug in the power supply but leave it OFF initially. Then proceed to put the cleaner in the pool.

How do I put the pool cleaner into the pool?

If brushes contain sponges, dip them and squeeze to absorb water. Hold the cleaner upside down in the water, gently rock it back and forth while holding the bottom lid flaps open to release trapped air. Release when no more bubbles appear. Ensure the floating cable is free and place enough cable in the water to reach the farthest corner. Turn the power supply ON.

How do I remove the pool cleaner from the pool?

Turn OFF and unplug the power supply. Use the floating cable to bring the cleaner to the pool edge, then use the handle to lift it out. Never pull the cleaner out by the cable. Place on the pool edge to drain water.

How do I clean the filter bag or cartridges?

After each cleaning cycle, unplug the power supply. Turn the cleaner upside down and open the bottom lid. Remove the filter bag or cartridges. Clean with a hose. For filter bags, periodically wash in a washing machine on gentle cycle. Reinstall properly: for bag, ensure strap is centered on shortest side; for cartridges, insert with plastic backing outward.

What should I do if the robot is moving in circles?

Possible causes: dirt stuck in moving parts, clogged filter, incorrectly positioned power supply, incorrect bottom lid mounting, or poor water conditions. Clean moving parts and filter, reposition power supply so robot can reach all walls, ensure bottom lid is locked correctly, and adjust water chemistry (pH 7.0-7.8, chlorine max 4 ppm).

Why doesn't the robot climb walls?

Check if filter bag/cartridge is full (clean it), if walls have algae (brush them), if water temperature is too low (ideal 6°-34°C), if brushes are worn (replace), or if there is debris in the impeller (clean it). Also ensure no trapped air in the cleaner (turn upside down in water to release). Adjust pH if needed.

How do I clean the impeller?

Unplug the power supply. Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws on the impeller cover and remove the cover. Clear any debris from the impeller. Replace the cover and screws.

The robot won't sink – what to do?

Trapped air in filter bag/cartridge or dry brushes can cause floating. Turn the cleaner upside down in water to release air. Wash the filter bag/cartridge. Open the two inlet flaps in the bottom lid to release trapped air or dirt. If brushes are dry, soak them in water.

How do I store the pool cleaner during off-season?

Disconnect from mains. Ensure no water remains inside. Thoroughly clean filter bag/cartridges and reinsert. Roll up the cable without kinks and place on the caddy. Store upright on the caddy or upside down in a protected area away from direct sun, rain, or snow, at a temperature between 5°C and 45°C (41°F-113°F).

What are the recommended water conditions for using the pool cleaner?

Chlorine: max 4 ppm. pH: 7.0-7.8. Water temperature: 6°C to 34°C (43°F to 93°F). Salt (NaCl): max 5000 ppm. Operating outside these conditions may affect performance or damage the cleaner.

5. USING THE POOL CLEANER

The Pool Cleaner is very easy to use. Just follow the simple steps to get started, and your Pool Cleaner is ready to go.

5.1. Setup

Before using the Pool Cleaner for the first time perform the following steps:

Unwind the cable and stretch it out completely so that it has no kinks.

Position the power supply so that it is approximately in the middle of the long side of the pool at a distance of 3m/10ft.

Some models arrive with plastic coverings on the brushes. Remove them before use.

Attach the floating cable to the power supply by inserting it with the notch on the connector (1) lined up with the groove in the socket on the power supply and turning clockwise (2).

Plug in the power supply and leave it in the OFF position.

5.2. Putting the Pool Cleaner into the pool

If your Pool Cleaner is equipped with brushes that contain sponges, dip the brushes in the water and squeeze them so that they will absorb water the first time you use the Pool Cleaner, or if the brushes have dried out between uses.

Holding the Pool Cleaner upside down in the water, gently rock it back and forth with your fingers holding the plastic doors on the bottom lid open to release trapped air. Continue until no more bubbles are released.

Release the Pool Cleaner and let it sink to the floor of the pool.

Make sure that the floating cable is free of any obstructions.

To avoid kinks in the floating cable, place approximately enough cable in the water for the Pool Cleaner to reach the farthest corner of the pool.

Turn the power supply ON.

The Pool Cleaner will now operate until it has reached the end of the cleaning cycle.

5.3. Removing the Pool Cleaner from the pool

Turn OFF and unplug the power supply.

Using the floating cable, bring the Pool Cleaner to the pool's edge. Using the handle, remove the Pool Cleaner from the pool.

DO NOT PULL THE POOL CLEANER FROM THE POOL USING THE CABLE.

Place the Pool Cleaner on the edge of the pool and let the water drain out.

6. CLEANING THE FILTER BAG OR CARTRIDGES

Depending on the model, your Pool Cleaner may be equipped with a filter bag or cartridges. It is recommended to clean the filter bag or cartridges after each cleaning cycle.

6.1. Removing and cleaning the filter bag

Unplug the power supply.

Turn the Pool Cleaner upside-down. Open the bottom lid.

Remove the filter bag.

Clean the filter bag with a hose.

We recommend that you periodically wash the filter bag in a washing machine using the gentle cycle program.

Periodically clean the brushes with a hose.

6.2. Replacing the filter bag

Put the filter bag over the frame so that the strap is in the middle of the shortest side. Make sure that filter bag is positioned properly on the frame.

6.3. Cleaning the filter cartridges

Note: Don't let the filter cartridges dry out before cleaning.

Unplug the power supply.

With the Pool Cleaner upside down open the bottom lid and pull it out.

Open the clips and remove the filter.

Clean the filters with a hose.

Insert the filters with the plastic backing facing out.

Insert the cartridge unit.

6.4. Cleaning the impeller

If you notice debris trapped in the impeller open the impeller and remove the debris.

Unplug the power supply.

Using a screwdriver, remove the two screws on the impeller cover and remove it.

Clear any debris that may be in the impeller.

Replace the screws.

If the Pool Cleaner will not be in use for an extended period, perform the following storage steps:

• Disconnect the Pool Cleaner from mains
  • Make sure that no water is left in the Pool Cleaner
  • Thoroughly clean the filter bag or cartridges and insert in place
  • Roll up the cable so that it has no kinks and place on the Caddy
• Store the Pool Cleaner upright on the Caddy or simply upside down in a protected area out of direct sun / rain / snow at a temperature of between 5°-45°C / 41°-113°F
