Robo H20.
TIPS FOR USAGE
• Your pool needs to be in good condition to use this cleaner. If there are broken tiles, crumbling plaster
or vinyl liner tears, the cleaner could damage your pool further or damage itself.
• Cleaner is not designed to clean steps, waterfalls or ladders so they will need manual cleaning with a brush.
• When removed from the pool, make sure the hose is stored straight - if hose coiling occurs, lay hose
sections out in sunlight to straighten.
• The cleaner should not run under a pool cover.
• Remove your Robo H2O (including hose) before chemical treatment. Wait a minimum of 4 hours after
super-chlorination (shock treatment) before re-installing Robo H2O. Cleaner does not replace chemical
treatment so dose with chemicals as needed.
• Cleanthelter,skimmerbasketandpumpbasketregularlyandmaintaincorrectpHbalance.Robo
H2OmaynotclimbwellandmaydegradeprematurelyifpHbalanceisincorrect.
• Rinse Robo H2O in fresh water when removing from pool for extended periods.
• When out of water, store Robo H2O with Articulating Swivel at lowest point with back set of rollers
resting gently to allow water to drain through the small drain holes (see image in Figure 7 on page 10).
• Never leave Robo H2O in the sun for extended periods.
• Close all main drains and make sure that only one suction port is active.
• Periodically check your Robo H2O for signs of wear. If necessary, replace any worn parts.
• Never maneuver Robo H2O manually.
• Never rotate the rollers by hand because the self-cleaning gear train may be damaged if the gears are
engaged.
• Adjust pool’s return jets downwards to about a 45oangle so that the jets are not pointed towards the
surfaceofthepool.AdjustasneededtoensuretheinuenceofthejetsonRobo H2O or the hose is minimal.

STEP 3: INSTALLATION
REMOVE AIR FROM HOSE
1. Make sure pool pump is turned OFF.
2. Attach female end of the hose to the pool cleaner head and remove all air from the cleaner and hose.
Tip:Aneasywaytodothisistorstensurethehosesectionsaretightlyttedtogetherandtheclean-
er is attached to one end of the hose. Then switch the pool pump ON. Take the open end of the hose
and hold it over the return lines/inlets (where water returns to the pool). Wait a few seconds so air is
removed through the pool cleaner. Keep the end of the hose underwater so that air does not get back
into the hose. Then switch the pool pump OFF.
WHEN CONNECTING TO THE POOL SKIMMER
When connecting to the pool skimmer, the Flow Control Valve is often used. The Flow Control Valve
ensures your Robo H20 Pool Cleaner receivestheowrequiredforoptimumperformance(see Figure 5
for how to adjust Flow Control Valve if needed). If you have two skimmers, the Flow Control Valve may
not be necessary.**
**Note: For two skimmer application, use the skimmer closest to pool equipment and connect hose using
only the Male Hose end--do not use Female/Female
Hose or Flow Control Valve.
1. Attach Flow Control Valve to the Female/Female
Hose closest to the skimmer. The Flow Control Valve

Flow Control Valve into the Control Valve Adaptor
as shown in Figure 4. If there are two holes at the
bottom of the skimmer, place it into the one at the back (the hole farthest from the opening in the skimmer).
4. Once air has been removed from cleaner and Flow Control Valve has been installed, it is important to
testtheowusingtheFlow Gauge. Remove cleaner head from female end of hose. Attach the Flow
Gauge to the end of the hose that will connect to the cleaner head in order to ensure there is proper
owtothecleaner.TheFlow Gauge should read around 5. If the Flow Gauge does not read around 5,
see section on how to count RPMs (see page 11).

6. Add Hose Float and position it as close to the Articu-
lating Swivel as possible (see Figure 6). Turn the pool
pump ON and your Robo H20 Pool Cleaner will now
begin automatically vacuuming your pool.
Note: If more or less suction is needed, you will need to ad-
just the Sliders on the pool cleaner itself. Closing the white
sliders increases the suction and opening the white sliders
decreases suction. See Figure 12 on page 11 for detailed
instructions on this adjustment.

INSTALLING YOUR ROBO H2O POOL CLEANER
WHEN CONNECTING TO A DEDICATED VACUUM LINE IN THE POOL
Some pools are equipped with a dedicated vacuum line, which allows the cleaner to be connected to this
line instead of the skimmer. In such cases, the Flow Control Valve should NOT BE USED.
To connect to the dedicated vacuum line:
1. Openthespring-loadedaponthevacuumlinewallttingandinsertthemale(smaller)openendof
the hose. Ensure it is well secured.
2. Once air has been removed from the hose, it is important to test using the Flow Gauge. Remove
cleaner head from female end of hose. Attach the Flow Gauge to the end of the hose that will connect
tothecleanerheadinordertoensurethereisproperowtothecleaner.TheFlow Gauge should read
around 5. If Flow Gauge does not read around 5, see section on counting RPMs on page 11.
3. Ifowmanagementisrequired,adjustvalvesatpoolpadasneededasshowninFigure 19 on page 18.
4. Onceowisinproperrange,removeFlow Gauge from hose and connect hose to the Articulating
Swivel.
5. Add Hose Float and position it as close to the Articulating Swivel as possible (see Figure 6). Turn the
pool pump ON and your Robo H20 Pool Cleaner will now begin automatically vacuuming your pool.
Note: If more or less suction is needed, you will need to adjust the Sliders on the pool cleaner itself.
Closing the white sliders increases the suction and opening the white sliders decreases suction.
See page 11 in this manual for detailed instructions on Slider adjustment.
OPTIMIZING SPEED AND COVERAGE
Your Robo H2O Pool Cleaner should start moving as soon as it is connected and all air has been re-
moved from the hose and cleaner. If it has not started moving after about 30 seconds or is moving very
slowly, switch off the pump and adjust the Flow Control Valve as shown in Figure 5 towards the plus side
or adjust valves at pool pad.
If the cleaner is not picking up debris, you may need to adjust suction by moving the Sliders on the cleaner
head. All Robo H2O Cleaners are factory pre-set halfway between open and closed—it may be necessary
for you to adjust your Sliders all the way to closed to reach ideal suction. On the wall, ideal movement is ob-
tained when the cleaner moves forward and slides a bit to scrub—it also brushes and spins when it reaches
the waterline instead of climbing higher than the waterline. Cleaner will perform best when its movement is
steady and consistent (important not to run it too fast). See Figure 12 on page 11 in this manual for detailed
instructions on Slider adjustment.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
To maintain the performance of your Robo H2O Pool Cleaner:
• When removed from the pool, make sure the hose is
stored straight. Never coil the hose as this may cause the
hose to develop a “memory,” which may adversely affect
the performance of your Robo H2O Pool Cleaner.
• Remove your Robo H2O (including hose) before chemical
treatment. Wait a minimum of 4 hours after super-chlo-
rination (shock treatment) before re-installing the Robo
H2O Pool Cleaner.
• Cleanthelter,skimmerbasketandpumpbasketregularly.
• Periodically check your Robo H2O for signs of wear.
If necessary, replace any worn parts.
• NOTE: Due to the harsh conditions in which your
cleaner operates, its color may fade or dull over time.
• When out of water, store Robo H20 with Articulating
Swivel at lowest point with back set of rollers resting
gently to allow water to drain through the small drain
holes (see Figure 7).
TO REMOVE THE HOSE FROM THE CLEANER
It is important to hold the Articulating Swivel steady while
gently pulling on the hose cuff to remove it from Robo H2O
(see Figure 8). Not holding the Articulating Swivel could
cause the Articulating Swivel to come apart.
IF ROBO H2O STOPS RUNNING
1. Check for debris in the cleaner and endcap.
2. Make sure pool pump is off. Remove Robo H2O
from the pool and carefully disconnect cleaner from
the hose (see note above about removing the hose).
Check underneath the cleaner to see if debris is
jammed in the opening. If not, move on to remove and
check the endcap (see Figure 9). This is done by un-
clipping one side only and pulling the endcap straight
out. Check for debris and clear as needed. To return

the endcap to its home, simply push it straight back in until you hear a click (see Figure 10). Then gen-
tly pull and make sure that it is properly sealed and tight.
3. YoucanalsochecktheRPMofthecleanerifyouareunsureitisreceivingproperow.Thereisanotch
in the 4 black pulleys at the end of the rollers that you can use to measure RPMs (rotations per minute).
See Figure 11. Count the number of turns in 15 seconds using that notch. Ideal RPM range should be
8-10 per 15 seconds. It is important to ensure the rollers are moving forward while counting RPMs (and
that unit is not in backup mode).
CARING FOR YOUR ROBO H2O POOL CLEANER
IF SUCTION IS NOT SUFFICIENT AFTER ADJUSTING FLOW CONTROL VALVE
Adjusting the Sliders on the pool cleaner may be necessary depending upon your particular pool. If ad-
justment is needed, (with pool pump off) simply push both Sliders out away from the center of the cleaner
toward the closed position. Closed allows for maximum suction while open reduces suction (See Figure 12).
All Robo H2O Cleaners will come factory pre-set with the Sliders at the halfway point between open and
closed.
