Swimming pool cleaning spare parts

At Poolplanet, we know how important pool cleaning is. For this reason, many individuals and professionals use a robotic cleaner or a pool vacuum cleaner. These devices are very practical for keeping a pool clean effortlessly. But over time, some parts can wear out or break down. Rather than replacing the entire device, it is often possible to replace only the defective part, such as the track, impeller, basket, filter bag, or even the Dolphin robot brush, for example. This saves money, extends the lifespan of your equipment, and reduces electronic waste.

That's why we offer a wide range of spare parts for pool robots and vacuum cleaners. Whether it's a clogged filter, a broken wheel, a worn brush, or a tired motor, there's often a simple solution to get your device back in working order. These parts are available individually and are easy to install, even if you're not a DIY expert. You can also contact us to confirm that the chosen part is available for sale and compatible with your model.

Which spare parts should you choose for an electric pool robot?

The choice of spare part depends first on the robot model. Whether it's an original product or not, it's always possible to repair a robot with the right replacement part. There's a wide selection from many brands and references, and each model has its own components. However, some parts are replaced more frequently than others.

Filters, for example, are essential for trapping dirt such as leaves, insects, or sand. When they are dirty or torn, the robot loses efficiency. It is therefore advisable to clean them regularly and replace them as soon as they show signs of wear.

Brushes are also very important. They are the ones that scrub the walls and bottom of the pool. If they become smooth or detach, cleaning will no longer be done correctly. You also need to think about the wheels or tracks, because if they are worn, the robot may have difficulty moving forward or climbing the walls.

Belts connect the motor to the wheels. If they are loose or broken, the robot will no longer move. Finally, some users need to replace more technical parts such as motors, electronic boards, or covers that protect the internal parts of the device.

It is always advisable to observe the robot's behavior. If it makes noise, if it frequently gets stuck, if it no longer cleans as effectively as before, or if it remains immobile, a part likely needs to be changed. Taking the time to choose the right part helps prevent the breakdown from worsening and ensures efficient cleaning.

How to repair a pool robot?

Repairing a pool robot might seem complicated, but it's not always the case. Often, it's just a matter of following a few simple steps to identify the fault and replace the faulty spare part. You can also consult reviews of the product; other people's experiences might provide the answer to your question.

The first thing to do is to check the filter. A clogged filter can prevent the robot from functioning normally. Then, you need to check the power supply. Sometimes, the problem doesn't come from the robot, but from the transformer or the cable that powers it.

It's also important to observe the wheels or tracks. If something is blocking them, like a branch or a stone, the robot won't be able to move forward. An unusual noise can also indicate a problem with the belts, impeller, or motor. Finally, if the brushes no longer spin or are too worn, they need to be replaced.

Once the faulty part has been identified, it is usually possible to replace it yourself, especially if you follow the manufacturer's instructions. On our site, we offer parts for many brands such as Kokido and Maytronics Dolphin. Our product sheets always specify compatible models, and our team is available to help you if you have any doubts.

What accessories for a pool robot?

In addition to replacement spare parts, certain accessories can make using your cordless robot even simpler. For example, a transport caddy is very useful for easily moving a heavy or bulky robot. This is particularly practical if you need to store it after each use.

A bag or protective cover can also be used to store the complete device away from dust or sunlight. Some robot models work with remote controls, which allow you to manually guide the robot in the pool, to focus on a specific area.

Other accessories like floating cables are designed to prevent tangles during operation. There are also special brushes for certain types of coatings, such as tiles or liners. Some users also choose to buy floats or adjustment kits to improve the balance and mobility of the robot depending on the shape of their pool.

These accessories are not essential, but they can improve comfort of use and the performance of your device.

How to maintain a pool robot?

A well-maintained robot lasts longer and cleans better. It is therefore essential to take a few minutes after each use to perform a little maintenance.

After each cleaning cycle, the filter must be emptied and rinsed. This prevents it from clogging and ensures efficient suction. It is also advisable to check that no debris is blocking the wheels, brushes, or suction nozzles. A simple rinse with clear water removes salt, chlorine, or chemicals that can wear out the materials.

It is preferable not to pull the robot by the cable, as this can damage it in the long term. It is also important to avoid leaving the device in direct sunlight for too long, as plastics and seals can deteriorate. In winter or when not in use, it is best to store it in a dry, frost-free place.

Finally, some models require regular checking of internal parts such as belts or motors. A small inspection every month can be enough to detect early signs of wear.

What models of pool robots exist?

There are several types of pool robots, and each has its advantages. The choice depends on the size of your pool, its shape, the type of lining, and your budget.

Electric robots are very popular because they are autonomous and efficient. They operate using an external power supply and can clean the bottom, walls, and sometimes the waterline. Some models even follow intelligent paths to cover the entire pool.

Hydraulic suction robots connect directly to the filtration system. They are often cheaper but depend on the pump's power to operate. They are ideal for small pools or limited budgets.

Pressure robots, also known as Polaris robots, operate with a vacuum port and overpressure. They are powerful but require special installation. They are better suited for large pools.

There are also solar robots, which float on the surface and collect debris before it sinks. They don't clean the bottom, but they are useful for keeping the water clean between deep cleanings.

Finally, manual vacuums are a good solution for those who want an economical alternative. They require a bit of effort, but they allow you to precisely target the areas to be cleaned.

What pool vacuum parts can be replaced?

Like robots, pool vacuums are made up of several parts that can be replaced. The suction head, for example, is in direct contact with the bottom of the pool. It can wear out over time or break if it hits something.

The telescopic handle, which allows guiding the vacuum from the edge of the pool, can also be replaced if it is bent or no longer holds in place. The flexible hoses that connect the vacuum to the skimmer or pump are sometimes pierced or clogged. It is important to check them regularly.

Some models have integrated brushes, which can be changed depending on the type of dirt to be removed. The wheels or skids that facilitate movement can also wear out. Finally, some vacuums use internal bags or filters to retain debris. These elements must be cleaned or replaced often to ensure proper functioning.

Changing these parts in time keeps the vacuum performing well, without needing to replace everything.
