PoolBot B150: Has debris and dust clogging the power switch mechanism

You may see flickering red and green lights while your PoolBot B150 is on charge if you have any debris stuck in the power switch mechanism. 

To identify the issue check if the power switch feels obstructed. Secondly visually inspect the power switch mechanism after opening the PoolBot cover and removing the filter basket. Follow the video below to correctly identify the issue.


If the switch is obstructed watch the video attached below to clean the power switch spring to remove any dust or debris. After cleaning the power switch spring switch on the PoolBot.

If the issue persists please get in touch with us via 03 7003 8791 or support@robotmylife.zohodesk.com.au
