Storing a pool robot properly is essential to ensure its longevity and functionality. Here are the steps to follow for storing a pool robot:
Step 1: Clean the Pool Robot
Before storing the pool robot, it is important to clean it thoroughly. Remove any debris or dirt that may have accumulated on the robot's surface. You can use a soft cloth or a brush to clean the robot. Make sure to clean the brushes and filters as well.
Step 2: Disconnect the Power Supply
Once the pool robot is cleaned, disconnect the power supply. This will prevent any accidental activation of the robot while in storage. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and disconnect it from the robot.
Step 3: Drain the Water
After disconnecting the power supply, drain any water from the pool robot. Tilt the robot to one side to allow water to drain out of the robot. You can also use a towel to soak up any remaining water.
Step 4: Store the Robot in a Dry Place
Store the pool robot in a dry and cool place. Avoid storing the robot in direct sunlight or in a humid area. A dry and cool place will prevent any mold or mildew growth on the robot. You can use a storage bin or a cardboard box to store the pool robot.
Step 5: Cover the Robot
Cover the pool robot with a protective cover to prevent dust or debris from settling on the robot. You can use a plastic sheet or a cloth cover to protect the robot.
Step 6: Check on the Robot Periodically
Check on the pool robot periodically to ensure that it is still in good condition. Make sure that the cover is still in place and that there is no damage to the robot. If you notice any damage, contact a professional for repairs.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your pool robot is stored properly and will be ready for use when the pool season begins again.
