What happens next
Our warranty and repair process
The exact process varies by brand, but most claims follow these six steps.
Contact us
Send your order number, robot model, serial number, a description of the fault and any error messages.
Share photos or video
A short video showing the behaviour often helps us identify simple issues and prepare the claim faster.
Initial troubleshooting
We guide you through safe checks involving filters, tracks, brushes, power, charging and operating settings.
Claim lodgement
If the problem remains, we help coordinate the warranty request with the appropriate Australian channel.
Return and assessment
The robot may be returned for testing. Please wait for approval and packing instructions before sending it.
Repair or replacement
The outcome may be a repair, replacement part, replacement robot, other remedy or a quote for uncovered work.
Stop using the robot if it appears damaged, smells unusual, takes on water, has a damaged cable or charger, or behaves unsafely. Do not open a sealed motor, battery compartment or power supply unless instructed by an authorised technician.

BWT warranty and repairs
Assessment through the Australian warranty and service network
How long is a BWT robotic pool cleaner covered?
BWT warranty periods vary by model. Current examples include:
| BWT model | Manufacturer warranty |
|---|---|
| F1 Sonic Pro | 2 years |
| F1R | 2 years |
| F1RX | 3 years |
| F1RXT | 4 years |
Some eligible cordless models may receive an additional year when the extended warranty is registered within the required period. The warranty provided with the specific robot at purchase applies.
What happens if my BWT robot develops a fault?
Contact Pool Perfectionists first. We help complete initial checks and coordinate the claim. The robot may then be assessed by an authorised service centre. It may be repaired, receive a replacement component, be replaced, or be returned if no fault is found.
What if the BWT robot is faulty when first opened?
A manufacturing or quality fault reported within seven days may be considered under BWT’s out of box process, subject to assessment and approval. The robot must not show signs of misuse or physical damage. Power supply units are assessed separately.
What is not normally covered by BWT?
Misuse, neglect, impact damage, incorrect operation, unauthorised repairs and normal wear are generally excluded. Filters, baskets, rollers, brushes and tracks may be treated as wear components unless defective when supplied.

Serviceable robots supported through trained repair networks
How long is a Maytronics Dolphin robot covered?
Maytronics warranty periods vary by model and are commonly between 24 and 36 months. Current examples include:

|---|---|
| X20 | 2 years |
| X25 | 2 years |
| X30 | 2 years |
| X40 Plus | 2 years |
| Active X6 | 3 years |
Premium models, promotions and eligible dealer programs may have different coverage. The warranty stated for the specific robot at purchase applies.
Do I have to register my Maytronics warranty?
Registration is recommended because it connects the model, serial number and purchase details. Maytronics states that failing to register does not diminish warranty rights, but proof of purchase should always be retained.
Register with MaytronicsWhat happens if my Dolphin stops working?
We help check the filter, brushes, tracks, cable, power supply and impeller area. If the problem cannot be resolved safely, the robot may be assessed by an authorised Maytronics repairer. Many faults can be resolved by replacing an individual component instead of replacing the complete robot.
How long does a Maytronics repair take?
Maytronics publishes a workshop target of two working days from receipt of the cleaner, subject to diagnosis and parts availability. Freight, seasonal demand and specialist parts can extend the total turnaround time. Parts replaced through Maytronics robotic repair service currently receive a 12 month repair warranty.
View Maytronics repair informationWhat is not normally covered by Maytronics?
Accidental damage, misuse, unauthorised work, incorrect storage, chemical damage and ordinary wear are generally excluded. Filters, brushes, climbing rings and tracks may require routine replacement.

How is a Zodiac claim lodged?
Contact Pool Perfectionists first. We help review the problem and collect the required information. Zodiac service requests are managed through Fluidra Australia’s warranty system and may require proof of purchase, model, serial number, photos, video and troubleshooting details.

- Contact Pool Perfectionists with your purchase and fault details.
- Complete the requested troubleshooting.
- Provide photos, video or application information if requested.
- Receive return instructions if the issue cannot be fixed remotely.
- The returned robot is assessed.

Common questions
Warranty and repair FAQs
Straight answers about returns, freight, repairs and what happens when a robot cannot be fixed.
What information should I provide when reporting a fault?
Please provide your order number, brand, model, serial number, purchase date, a clear description, error codes and photos or video. The more detail we receive initially, the easier it is to begin troubleshooting.
Do I contact Pool Perfectionists or the manufacturer?
Contact Pool Perfectionists first when the robot was purchased from us. We help review the fault, locate your order details and coordinate the appropriate warranty pathway.
Do I need the original box?
No. Original packaging is not generally required to exercise rights for a genuinely faulty product, although the robot must be packed securely. The original box is often the safest option if it is still available.
Who pays return freight?
If the product is confirmed to have a covered fault, reasonable return costs paid by the customer must generally be reimbursed. If no fault is found, or the damage is outside warranty, assessment and freight charges may apply. Any known potential costs will be explained before non warranty work is authorised.
Will my robot be replaced immediately?
Not necessarily. Most claims require troubleshooting and assessment. The normal outcome may be repair, part replacement or complete replacement depending on the brand, fault and consumer rights. Beatbot currently operates a full replacement process for confirmed covered faults in its listed Australian range.
Will I receive a loan robot?
A temporary robot is not automatically included with a manufacturer warranty claim. Availability depends on the brand, repairer, retailer and expected repair period, so a loan unit cannot be guaranteed.
What happens if no fault is found?
The robot may be returned if testing confirms it is operating correctly. Assessment or freight costs may apply where no product fault is identified. Some apparent faults result from settings, blocked filters, pool conditions or normal robot behaviour.
What if the problem is not covered?
If the robot can be repaired, a quotation may be provided. No paid work will proceed without approval. We can also compare the likely repair cost with replacement options.
What happens when the written warranty has expired?
An expired manufacturer warranty does not automatically remove your consumer rights. Australian Consumer Law may apply for a reasonable period. Where it does not apply, we can still assist with parts, repair referrals and replacement advice.
Can every warranty claim be guaranteed?
No claim can be guaranteed before assessment. We can promise to help explain the process, provide available purchase information, communicate with the appropriate channel and support the fair application of warranty and consumer guarantee rights.
What if I purchased the robot somewhere else?
The original seller should be the first point of contact for a warranty claim. Pool Perfectionists may still be able to offer troubleshooting, servicing, paid repair support or replacement advice depending on the brand and model.
