FAQs
What type of pools is the R130 Robotic Cleaner designed for?
Vinyl, concrete, fibreglass, and tile in-ground pools are just a few of the types and surfaces that the Hayward R130 is perfect for. It works well with home pools that are between thirty and forty feet long.
What parts of the pool does the R130 clean?
It cleans the lower walls, coves, and pool floor. Depending on the surface and form of the pool, some models also provide partial wall climbing.
How long is a typical cleaning cycle?
The cleaning cycle of the R130 normally lasts 90 minutes. During this period, it is intended to effectively cover the whole pool surface.
Can I leave the cleaner in the pool all the time?
No. In order to prevent extended exposure to chemicals and sunshine, which over time may deteriorate parts, it is advised to remove the cleaner after every cycle.
Do I need to run the pool pump while using the R130?
No, the R130 is completely independent and doesn’t depend on the pump or filtration system in your pool. Its motor and filter are inside.
Can the R130 clean steps or ledges?
Robotic cleaners are not made to effectively tackle small or irregular steps, yet they might be able to partially clean big steps or ledges.

Yes, saltwater pools can safely use it. To avoid salt corrosion, simply rinse the cleaner with fresh water after use.
Can I schedule cleanings or use a timer?
