The Aquabot K Line is a series of robotic pool cleaners designed for efficient, ergonomic, and easy-to-maintain pool cleaning. This series includes models K100, K200, and K300, all of which are robotic pool cleaners.
Function Description
The Aquabot K Line cleaners are designed to provide powerful and efficient cleaning for swimming pools. They are fully submerged in water during operation and are capable of cleaning the pool floor, walls, and waterline. The cleaners are equipped with various features to ensure thorough cleaning and ease of use.
Important Technical Specifications
While specific detailed technical specifications like motor power or filtration rate are not explicitly provided, the manual highlights several key operational parameters and features:
- Water Quality Parameters:
- Chlorine: 1-2 ppm
- pH: 7.2-7.6
- Temperature: 13°C-35°C (55°F-95°F)
- TDS (Total Dissolved Solids): <4000 ppm
- Salt: <5000 ppm (Swim)
- Power Supply: The cleaners operate with an external power supply. The K100, K200, and K300 models have different power supply units, referred to as Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter, respectively.
- Venus (K100): Features an On/Off switch.
- Saturn (K200): Features an On/Off switch, a full filter indicator, and an ECO Short cycle option.
- Jupiter (K300): Features an On/Off switch, a full filter indicator, and Bluetooth connectivity for control.
- Safety Features:
- The unit must be supplied through a residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
- The connection to the branch circuit should be consistent with local and national wiring rules (electrical code).
- A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI-USA) or a Residual Current Device (RCD-EUROPE) must be installed to protect the electric outlet and prevent any possible electric shock.
- The supply cord, if damaged, must be replaced by a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its authorized service center.
- The cleaner should not be used when people are in the pool.
- Age Restriction: This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Usage Features
The Aquabot K Line offers several features designed to enhance user experience and cleaning effectiveness:
- Initial Setup: Before first use, the robotic pool cleaner may seem unaccustomed to water and float. It is recommended to allow it to absorb water for approximately 20 minutes before turning it on to ensure it sinks properly.
- Operation:
- Placement: Gently place the cleaner in the pool for 10-15 minutes to allow the PVA brushes to get soft.
- Power On/Off: Turn OFF the power supply, unplug it from the power outlet, and take the cleaner out of the pool when not in use. Always remember to turn the power supply “OFF” and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool.
- Control (K300): The K300 model features Bluetooth connectivity, allowing for remote control via a smartphone or other compatible device.
- ECO Short Cycle (K200): The K200 model includes an "ECO Short cycle" option, likely for quicker, less intensive cleaning cycles.
- Transport and Storage: A "Cart BK" is available for easy transport and storage of the cleaner. Specific instructions for the cart are provided in a separate leaflet.
- Power Supply Units:
- The Venus power supply (K100) is a basic On/Off unit.
- The Saturn power supply (K200) adds a full filter indicator and the ECO Short cycle.
- The Jupiter power supply (K300) includes a full filter indicator and Bluetooth for advanced control.
Maintenance Features
Maintaining the Aquabot K Line cleaners is straightforward, focusing on filter cleaning and proper storage:
- Filter Cleaning:
- The cleaner is equipped with filters that need regular cleaning. The manual provides visual instructions on how to open the cleaner and remove the filter cartridges for cleaning.
- The K200 and K300 models feature a "Full filter indicator" to alert the user when the filters need to be cleaned.
- Always use original spare parts for filter replacement. The power supply units are designed for use with specific filter block types (AQ11070W100 or AQ21071W100).
- General Maintenance:
- Wash the brushes and filters with natural water and store the unit in the shade in room conditions.
- Do not leave the cleaner in the pool for extended periods when not in use.
- Regularly check the supply cord for damage. If damaged, it must be replaced by a qualified service center.
- Ensure proper water quality parameters (chlorine, pH, temperature, TDS, salt) are maintained in the pool to optimize cleaner performance and longevity.
The Aquabot K Line robotic pool cleaners are designed to be user-friendly, efficient, and durable, providing a reliable solution for maintaining a clean swimming pool.
