The ZX50 automatically vacuums debris deposited on the bottom of the pool.

The ZX50 Automatic Robot travels up to 5 meters per minute across the pool floor.

Setup and Installation

The ZX50 pool cleaner connects to the water outlet of your pool. It is compatible with pools that have connections of Ø32mm and Ø38mm. For proper operation, the cleaner must be connected to one of the following compatible filter pumps: Intex models 28636, 28638, and 26644.

Installation Steps for Cartridge Filter Pumps

2. Remove the cartridge from the filter pump before starting the ZX50. If necessary, release air from the valve.
3. Turn on the cartridge filter pump.
4. Reinsert the cartridge.

Operating Instructions

The ZX50 robot moves with the suction force of the filter pump, dislodging and vacuuming dirt and debris from the pool floor. It features automatic rotation for comprehensive cleaning.

• Required Filter Pump Flow Rate: The cleaner requires a filter pump with a flow rate between 3407 and 5678 L/h for optimal performance.
• Hose Connection: It connects to a 650 cm (6.5 meters) long hose with a 38mm diameter, which is included and designed to be anti-tangle.
• Movement: The robot moves autonomously across the pool floor.
• Cleaning Mechanism: Equipped with two rotating brushes to scrub and collect debris.
• Debris Collection: Features a 0.8 L debris container and a 0.3 mm fine mesh filter for efficient collection of particles.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your ZX50 Robotic Pool Cleaner.

• Emptying Debris Container: Regularly empty the 0.8 L debris container to prevent clogging and maintain suction power.
• Cleaning the Fine Mesh Filter: Clean the 0.3 mm fine mesh filter frequently to ensure optimal filtration and prevent reduction in cleaning efficiency.
• Hose Inspection: Periodically inspect the 6.5-meter anti-tangle hose for any blockages or damage. Ensure it is free of air pockets, as trapped air can reduce suction.
• Brush Inspection: Check the two rotating brushes for wear and tear. Over time, bristles may wear down, reducing cleaning effectiveness.
• General Cleaning: Rinse the robot with fresh water after each use to remove chlorine and chemical residues.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ZX50 Robotic Pool Cleaner.

• Robot Not Moving or Losing Suction:
  • Ensure your filter pump meets the required flow rate (3407 to 5678 L/h).
  • Check for air trapped in the hose or the filter pump system. Submerge the cleaner and hose slowly to allow all air to escape before connecting to the pump.
  • Verify that the debris container and fine mesh filter are clean and not clogged.
  • Confirm that the hose connections are secure and there are no leaks.
• Robot Getting Stuck or Not Cleaning Corners/Walls:
  • The ZX50 is primarily designed for cleaning the pool floor. While it may dislodge some dirt from walls, it is not designed to climb them.
  • If the robot frequently gets stuck, ensure the pool floor is free of large obstacles.
  • Periodically check on the robot during operation and gently reposition it if it remains stationary for an extended period.
• Reduced Cleaning Effectiveness:
  • Clean the debris container and filter thoroughly.
  • Inspect the rotating brushes for wear. Worn brushes may need replacement to maintain optimal scrubbing action.
  • Ensure your filter pump is operating at its full capacity and the filter media (cartridge or sand) is clean.
