How to Run a Cleaning Cycle with Your Sprinter Automatic Pool Cleaner
Let your Sprinter Automatic Pool Cleaner do the hard work for you! With two cleaning modes and a 90-minute cleaning cycle, the Sprinter can tackle the pool floor or take on both the floor and walls. In this tutorial, The Great Escape walks you through selecting a cleaning mode, properly placing the cleaner in your pool, stopping a cycle when needed, and safely retrieving the robot when the job is done.
Key Takeaways:
The Sprinter offers a Floor Only Cleaning Mode and a Full Automatic Floor and Wall Cleaning Mode.
Releasing trapped air before guiding the robot to the bottom helps prepare the cleaner for its cleaning cycle.
After the 90-minute cycle, the Sprinter stops near the pool wall so it can be retrieved using the included hook and a standard telescopic pool pole.
Step-by-Step Process:
Before beginning, make sure your Sprinter Automatic Pool Cleaner is fully charged.
For Floor Only Cleaning Mode, press and release the blue rubber button once. After approximately three seconds, one beep will confirm your selection.
For Full Automatic Floor and Wall Cleaning Mode, press and release the blue button twice. After approximately three seconds, three beeps will confirm your selection.
Once a cleaning mode is selected, the blue LED will blink for approximately 20 seconds.
During this time, place the Sprinter into the pool and gently rock it from side to side and front to back to release trapped air.
Once the air has been removed, guide the robot to the bottom of the pool and allow the cleaning cycle to begin.
If you need to stop the cycle early, press and hold the blue button for three seconds to power off the robot.
After the 90-minute cleaning cycle is complete, the Sprinter will stop near the pool wall for retrieval.
Attach the included retrieval hook to a standard telescopic pool pole and hook it onto the robot’s handle.
Pull the cleaner toward you, then use the handle to slowly lift it from the pool.
Hold the robot just above the water for a few seconds to allow excess water to drain.
Your Sprinter is now ready to be cleaned and stored until its next use.
