Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Dolphin Wave 80, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Robot Not Moving/Starting:
- Ensure the power supply is securely plugged into a working outlet and the robot.
- Check if the 'Start' button has been pressed.
- Verify that the power supply unit's indicator lights are on.
- Poor Cleaning Performance:
- Clean the filter cartridges thoroughly. A full or clogged filter will reduce suction.
- Inspect the brushes for wear or debris entanglement.
- Ensure the pool water chemistry is balanced, as excessive algae can hinder cleaning.
- Robot Not Climbing Walls/Waterline:
- Check for air bubbles trapped inside the robot; gently shake it to release them.
- Ensure the filter is clean, as reduced suction affects climbing ability.
- Verify that the pool water is within recommended temperature and chemical balance.
- Cable Tangling:
- Ensure the cable is fully extended and untangled before placing the robot in the pool.
- Periodically straighten the cable during operation if tangling occurs.
