What types of pools is the Talosbo Pleco S1 suitable for?
The Pleco S1 is designed for flat-bottomed pools, including above-ground pools up to approximately 645 sq.ft. and in-ground flat-floored pools up to a maximum size of 9.7m x 6m. It is not suitable for pools with wrinkles, steep slopes, or complex contours, as it may get stuck or tip over.
Does the Pleco S1 climb walls or clean stairs?
No, the Pleco S1 is designed to clean only the pool floor and does not climb walls, stairs, or slopes. For wall and waterline cleaning, consider models like the Talosbo Pro.
How do I clean the filter on the Pleco S1?
The filter tray is located under the cleaner. To clean it, remove the cover and rinse the filter with a hose. Talosbo recommends cleaning the filter immediately after each use to prevent debris from drying and clogging it, which can reduce suction efficiency. Use a water gun for stubborn debris if needed.
What should I do if the Pleco S1 gets stuck?
Check if the cleaner is trapped in corners or stuck on wrinkles or small bumps. Fully submerge the cleaner in water until no air bubbles appear before each use to ensure proper operation. If it gets stuck frequently, ensure your pool is compatible (flat-bottomed with no significant slopes).
What happens if the Pleco S1 stops working?
Check the battery level and ensure the filter is clean. Ensure the cleaner is not stuck or obstructed. Try moving the unit to the poolside and shake it underwater to release any trapped air bubbles. If the issue persists, power off the device without recharging and contact Talosbo customer support for troubleshooting or warranty assistance. Some users report issues after a few months, so timely maintenance is crucial.
