BWT B100 / B200 Robotic Pool Cleaner

Introduction

System Overview

The robotic cleaner sweeps the pool floor and walls, collecting dirt and debris in its internal filters. This user manual explains how to operate the robotic cleaner, including cleaning, maintenance, and storage procedures.

Robotic Cleaner Operation

After the robotic cleaner is placed in the pool and activated, it operates according to its program. It moves along the floor and walls of the pool, covering the entire area. When it has finished its program, it remains inactive on the pool floor. Power will automatically shut off.

Operating Conditions

The robotic cleaner is intended for use in residential swimming pools only under the following conditions:

1. Recommended water temperature: 22°C-32°C (72°F-90°F).
2. Water pH: 7.2 - 7.6.
3. Chlorine level: pool is maintained according to the pool manufacturer's instructions (Recommended Chlorine level: 2-4 ppm).

Components

The BWT B100/B200 robotic pool cleaner system consists of three main components:

• Power Cable: A long cable with a plug for connecting the power supply to the robotic cleaner.
• Power Supply: A compact unit with an on/off button and indicator lights, which provides power to the robotic cleaner.
• Robotic Pool Cleaner (B200 model shown): The main cleaning unit, featuring wheels, brushes, and internal filters for collecting debris.

Operation

Placement of the Power Supply

Place the power supply at least 3.6 meters (11.8 feet) from the pool and at least 3.6 meters (11.8 feet) above the surface.

Press the plastic snap on the zip ties to release the floating cable. Use as much cable as needed into the water.

Before Placing the Cleaner Unit in the Water

1. Ensure there are no people in the pool.
2. Ensure that the filters are clean.
3. Ensure that the pool conditions meet the operating conditions (refer to "Operating Conditions" section).

Placing Cleaner in the Water

1. Unroll the floating cable. It is recommended to extend a length of cable equal to the pool diagonal size plus an additional two meters. Smooth out coils or twists in the cable. Roll extra cable outside the pool near the power and control unit.
2. Place the cleaner unit in the pool.
3. Allow it to sink to the bottom of the pool. Do not start operation before the robotic cleaner is settled on the pool floor.
4. Connect the floating cable to the socket located on the power and control unit.

Float Installation

Diagrams illustrating correct and incorrect float installation:

• Correct Installation (A1-A4): Shows the robotic cleaner in a pool with the floating cable properly extended and untangled, allowing the cleaner to cover the entire pool area. The cable is shown with a loop outside the pool near the power supply.
• Incorrect Installation (B1-B4): Depicts scenarios where the floating cable is tangled, coiled, or not fully extended, which would prevent the robotic cleaner from operating effectively or covering the entire pool. One image shows the cable tightly coiled, another shows it tangled around the cleaner's handle.

Starting the Robotic Cleaner

Connect the power supply to the wall socket. The on/off button will light up, and the robotic cleaner will start its cleaning program. If the power and control unit is already connected to the AC socket, the on/off button will flash to indicate that the robotic cleaner is in standby mode. Press the Operation button to turn on the on/off button and start the cleaning program.

Cleaning Cycle

During the cleaning cycle, the cleaner:

1. Moves across the pool floor, picking up dirt and debris.
2. Changes direction and rotates automatically according to the selected program.
3. Climbs the pool walls every few minutes, as set in its internal program.

Stopping Robotic Cleaner Operation

The robotic cleaner automatically moves to 'standby' after every cleaning cycle, and the on/off button starts flashing. To stop the cleaner operation during a cleaning cycle, press the operation button once. The on/off button will start flashing, and the cleaner will enter standby mode.

Pulling Cleaner Unit Out of the Water

1. Unplug the floating cable from the power supply.
2. Pull the floating cable until the unit is close enough to reach the handle.
3. Using the handle, lift the cleaner out of the pool.

Maintenance and Storage

Cleaning the Filters

The two filters must be cleaned after each cleaning cycle.

1. Release the filter and pull it out of the cleaner unit.
2. Open the filter case.
3. Spray water on the outer sides of the filter and then spray water towards the inner side of the filter to clean all dirt and debris.
4. Reinsert the filter back into its location until a click is heard to secure it in place.

Diagrams showing the process of removing the filter from the cleaner, opening the filter case, and spraying water to clean the filter elements.

Storing the Robotic Cleaner

Follow these instructions to store the robotic cleaner when not in use:

1. Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Disconnect the floating cable from the power supply.
3. Spread out the floating cable and roll it.
4. Wash the cleaner unit interior space with fresh water and let it dry.
5. Roll the floating cable and place it on the cleaner unit.

6. Store the robotic cleaner components in a dry, closed location.
7. Verify that the supply is not exposed to water.

Checking Water Outlet Propeller

It is recommended to periodically clean debris and hair from the propeller of the water outlet:

1. Remove the filters.
2. Remove the screws that hold the water outlet cover.
3. Remove the water outlet cover.
4. Clean any hairs, dirt, or debris.
5. Return the cover and fasten it with the screws.
6. Reinsert the filters.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner Does Not Turn On

No electricity in the wall socket:

1. Disconnect cleaner from the power and control unit.
2. Disconnect power supply from the wall socket, wait 30 seconds, and reconnect.
3. Turn power on. If not activated, connect the unit to a different wall socket.

Obstacle in the drive system of the cleaner unit:

1. Turn the cleaner unit carefully to view the underside.
2. Check that the scrubbing brush is not bent/broken.
3. Clean and remove obstacles and debris if necessary.

Propeller is seized due to accumulation of hair:

Check if the propeller is broken or needs to be cleaned (see "Checking Water Outlet Propeller").
