Frequently Asked Questions

What can the robotic pool cleaner clean?

The Beatbot Sora 70 cleans the pool floor, walls, and the waterline where oils, sunscreen residue, and surface scum accumulate. It picks up leaves, grass, sand, fine silt, pollen, insect debris, and most algae particles using its onboard filter system. Larger objects like hair ties or pebbles can be handled by the intake but should be removed manually before a cycle if visible.

Will the cleaner climb out of the pool by itself?

No. The cleaner is designed to operate fully submerged and uses water resistance to hold itself against pool surfaces while it scrubs. It cannot self-exit the pool. When the cleaning cycle finishes, the unit either parks at the wall or returns to a designated retrieval point. You then use the included retrieval handle or hook to lift it out by the float line.

Is it safe for vinyl, fiberglass, gunite, and concrete pools?

Yes. Soft rubber tracks or brush rollers on this model are pool-surface safe across vinyl, fiberglass, tile, gunite, plaster, and pebble. The unit produces no chemical interaction with pool surfaces. For freshly plastered pools (under 30 days cured), wait the standard plaster cure period before introducing any robotic cleaner to avoid scuffing uncured surfaces.

What size pool can it clean?

The Sora 70 is rated for residential pools up to roughly 1,600 square feet (150 m²) per cleaning cycle, which covers most backyard pools. Coverage depends on runtime, pool shape, and obstacle density. For larger pools, run a second cycle or step up to a higher-capacity model.

How long does the battery last per cycle?

Battery runtime varies by model. The unit runs a single full cleaning cycle on a charge, typically 90 to 180 minutes depending on the cleaning mode. Lithium-ion batteries lose capacity over time, so expect roughly 80 percent of original runtime after the first 12 to 18 months of regular use. Always charge the unit on a dry, ventilated surface and never store it wet for extended periods.

Do I need to use the app, or can I run it without one?

The Beatbot app adds scheduling, custom cleaning modes, real-time status, firmware updates, and remote start. It is not required for basic operation. The unit has manual controls on the housing for one-touch start and mode selection. App control is recommended if you want weekly schedules, area-specific cleaning, or notifications. The app supports iOS and Android.

Should I leave the cleaner in the pool all the time?

No. Continuous submersion shortens unit life by exposing seals, motor housing, and filter components to chlorine, salt, and UV around the clock. Manufacturer guidance is to remove the unit after each cycle, rinse it with fresh water, and store it in a shaded, ventilated area. Cleaners run to schedule and then removed last 5 to 7 years on average. Cleaners left in the pool full-time typically last 1 to 3 years.

What chemical levels does the pool need to be at?

Operate the cleaner only with balanced water. Free chlorine should be at or below 4 ppm, pH between 7.2 and 7.8, total alkalinity between 80 and 120 ppm, and salinity (for salt pools) within the standard residential range of 2,500 to 4,500 ppm. Do not run the cleaner during shock treatments. Wait at least 24 hours after a shock before running a cycle.

How often does the filter need to be cleaned?

Rinse the filter basket after every cleaning cycle. Heavy debris loads (after storms, pollen season, or post-party use) may require mid-cycle emptying. Most baskets are top-loading and rinse out under a garden hose in under a minute. Replace the filter cartridge or basket assembly every 12 to 24 months depending on use.

Does it work in saltwater pools?

Yes. This model is rated for both chlorinated and salt-chlorinated pools within standard residential salinity ranges. Salt does not damage the unit during normal operation. Always rinse with fresh water after each cycle to prevent salt buildup on external components and seals.

What happens if it gets stuck on a drain, ladder, or pool obstacle?

The Sora 70 uses obstacle sensing and reverse-direction logic to free itself from most snags. Persistent obstructions trigger an alert via the app or onboard indicator. Common causes are pool toys left in the water, large drain covers, or tight corners on irregular pool shapes. Remove loose objects from the pool before starting a cycle to minimize stalls.

Can it be used in above-ground pools?

Most high-suction robotic cleaners (M-series, S-series, full AquaSense models) are inground-only because the brush and tread system requires harder wall surfaces than vinyl above-ground liners. Lighter floor-only units (like the WYBOT A1) are rated for above-ground vinyl pools. Check the spec list for the Pool Type field before purchase. Running an inground-rated cleaner in an above-ground pool can stretch or damage the vinyl liner.

How long does it take to fully charge?

A full charge from empty takes roughly 3 to 5 hours depending on the charger amperage and current battery temperature. Charge the unit at room temperature on a dry surface. Avoid charging in direct sun or in temperatures above 95F (35 C) to preserve battery life.

What is the warranty, and where do I get service?
