Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Zodiac FX18 suitable for tiled pools?
Yes. This FX18 model is suitable for tiled pools and includes enhanced grip to help it climb and clean smooth, slippery surfaces. For concrete, pebblecrete, quartzon, fibreglass, and vinyl pools, use the standard FX18 model:
Zodiac FX18 Robotic Pool Cleaner.
Does the Zodiac FX18 clean the waterline as well as floors and walls?
Yes. The Zodiac FX18 is designed to clean the pool floor, climb walls, and scrub the waterline during its cleaning cycle, providing complete pool coverage.
How long does a full cleaning cycle take?
A full cleaning cycle takes approximately 2.5 hours, covering the pool floor, walls, and waterline in a single automatic cycle.
Does the FX18 work independently from my pool’s filtration system?

When should I use the optional 100-micron filter canister?

What maintenance is required to keep the FX18 operating properly?
Regular maintenance includes rinsing the filter canister after each cleaning cycle, checking the brushes and tracks for wear, and inspecting the cable for twists or damage. Keeping the cleaner clean and dry between uses will help maintain performance.
