Design & Function Highlights:

Key Features:
- Reliable Lithium-Ion Battery: The 5.1Ah lithium-ion battery delivers up to 2 hours of cordless cleaning power and recharges in under 4 hours. Compact, efficient, replaceable, and built for everyday use.
- Smart Charger (CC/CV): The FR200 comes with a Constant Current / Constant Voltage charger that protects the battery while charging safely and efficiently. LED indicators keep you informed at a glance.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I need to clean the FR200 after each use?
Yes! Rinsing the filter canister after every cycle helps maintain strong suction and prevents debris from hardening and clogging the system. It’s a simple step that protects performance and extends the life of your cleaner.
Pro Tip: Rinse the canister with fresh water after each use. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and a soft brush — or better yet, use the Robotic Filter Cleaner Spray to help break down oils and fine debris and maintain peak performance.
How do I charge the FR200?
Dry the cleaner thoroughly before connecting to the charger. Charging takes less than 4 hours using the included CC/CV Smart Charger. Always store the cleaner out of direct sunlight and replace the protective cap when not charging.
Where should I store the cleaner?
Store your FR200 in a dry, shaded location between 10°C and 21°C. Avoid direct sunlight or humid areas to protect internal electronics and extend battery life.
Can I leave the cleaner in the pool between uses?
No. The cleaner should be removed after each cleaning cycle. Leaving it submerged can cause damage to the battery, seals, brushes, and outer shell from continuous exposure to chemicals and water.
Pro Tip: Always remove the FR200 and store it properly to maximise its service life.
How do I clean or replace the scrubbing brush?
The brush includes wear indicators. Replace it when the rubber wears down to the indicator — or every two years, whichever comes first — to maintain cleaning performance.
How do I access the propeller?
Lift the lid, locate the flow diverter above the propeller, and twist the diverter counter-clockwise to remove it. This gives direct access to the propeller for cleaning or inspection.
Pro Tip: To fully power down the cleaner, hold the power switch for 20 seconds. Reconnect to a charger to turn it back on.
What if the cleaner isn’t charging or operating properly?
- No lights or movement: Hold the power switch for 20 seconds, then reconnect the charger.
- Dirty charging contacts: Wipe clean with a cloth and fresh water, then dry before charging again.
- Still not working? Contact us for troubleshooting assistance or warranty support.
Why is my cleaner floating or missing debris?
- Air trapped inside: Remove the cleaner and re-submerge slowly.
- Filter is full or dirty: Empty and rinse the canister.
- Blocked parts: Check the brush, tracks, and propeller for stuck debris.
How does water balance affect performance?
Unbalanced water can cause scale, corrosion, cloudy water, and reduced cleaner performance. Keeping pH, chlorine, and other levels in check helps your FR200 last longer and clean more effectively.
Is the FR200 compatible with my pool?
The FR200 is designed for in-ground pools up to 8 × 4 metres and works with most surfaces, including concrete, vinyl, fibreglass, quartzon, pebblecrete, and tiles. It handles all pool shapes — rectangular, oval, free-form, and gentle or composite slopes — with ease.
