To ensure the maximum life of the Admiral Robotic Pool Cleaner, please follow the procedures below:

  1.  Clean The Admiral Robotic Pool Cleaner filter bag after every use.

  2.  Maintain a correct chemical balance of your pool/spa water. The chemical balance of water is a relationship between its pH, 
    total alkalinity, calcium hardness and water temperature.

The water must be maintained at all times to the following:

PH LEVEL : BETWEEN 7.2 & 7.8.
TOTAL ALKALINITY : BETWEEN 80 & 150ppm.
CALCIUM HARDNESS : BETWEEN 150 & 300ppm.

Also, within these tolerances be balanced to the Langelier Saturation Index within a range of -0.2 to +0.2.

Note:

 Testing kits are available to test the water yourself or alternately bring a sample of the water to a professional pool and spa shop.

n

  Mains water and rural water supplies need to be monitored. Saturation (life) in mains water or bore (rural) will vary depending 

  on water quality.

WINteR StoRaGe

If temperatures will regularly be below 5ºC (41ºF) or over 45ºC (113ºF), the cleaner and power supply (transformer) should be stored indoors.

WaRRaNtY

The Waterco Admiral has been manufactured, tested and inspected in accordance with carefully specified engineering requirements. It is 
warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service, subject to qualifications, conditions and 
limitations described below.

2 Year Limited Warranty:

2 Year full warranty. This warranty applies only while using this product in Australia & New Zealand. This warranty extends to the first consumer/
purchaser for a period of 2 Years from the original date of purchase.

This warranty covers only normal and reasonable use. Any damage, defects, malfunctions or other failures arising from its use without the 
original transformer or any use which does not comply with the instructions in this manual, including failure of the purchaser to provide 
reasonable and necessary maintenance, will void this warranty.

The warranty obligations of Waterco Ltd shall be limited to repair or replacement of the product or any defective component, at the discretion 
of Waterco Ltd. The repair or replacement may include the use of refurbished components and/or units. Waterco Ltd will not be liable or

property using or used in connection with this product, or for loss of profits or other costs or expenses of any kind or character.

This warranty does not include replacements of the filter bag, bottom lid, brushes and tracks.

caUtIoN:

Some pool vinyl liners are more susceptible to surface wear and pattern removal than others, caused by objects such as brushes, toys, floats, 
chlorine dispensers, and automatic pool cleaners coming into contact with the pool vinyl surface.

Such patterns can be easily scratched or abraded merely by rubbing the surface with a brush. Pattern ink can also rub off when they come 
into contact with objects in the pool. Waterco Ltd is not responsible for, nor does this limited warranty cover pattern removal, abrasion, and 
markings on or damage to any kind of pool vinyl liner.
