Compatibility / Fitment Notes

Choose the SpaBot SB1000 for spa and hot-tub cleaning. It is not intended for swimming-pool operation. Check the 9 × 9 ft size limit and your spa’s seating layout before purchase. Some spa designs have areas the cleaner cannot reach, so do not assume that every recess will be accessible.

Installation / Use Notes

Charge indoors with the supplied charger. Keep people out and turn off the spa pump and jets during cleaning. Follow the Polaris owner’s manual for starting, submerging, and retrieving the cleaner. Empty and rinse the canister after each cycle. Let the cleaner dry fully before reconnecting the charger.
