We get asked all the time to take a look at a customer’s robotic pool cleaner as a Richardson-based pool cleaning repair service — and it’s a fair question! After all, these machines are a modern luxury that make pool ownership much easier. But the truth is, the life of a pool cleaning robot is difficult! They’re exposed to intense UV rays year-round, spend their entire lives submerged in chemically treated water, and operate under mechanical stress every single day. Over time, even the best models begin to show signs of wear that no amount of tinkering can fix.
When it comes to diagnosing whether a robot pool cleaner can be repaired, the unfortunate reality is that most can’t, at least not cost-effectively. Replacement parts are expensive and often hard to find, and the internal components are sealed for waterproofing, making them nearly impossible to access without damaging the entire unit. By the time you factor in labor, most repairs end up costing nearly as much as a brand-new unit. That’s why, when we’re asked if a robotic pool cleaner robot is worth fixing, our honest answer is almost always the same: buy a new pool cleaner robot.
At VIP Home Services, we understand that’s not the answer anyone wants to hear, but it’s the answer that saves our customers time, frustration, and money in the long run. We recommend that you buy the highest quality robot cleaner from an established brand like a Polaris Robot (Polaris pool sweep) or search online for the “best robotic pool cleaners”. After all, as your swimming pool maintenance services provider, we want you to return back to what matters most: enjoying a sparkling, hassle-free pool.
