What is Eco Mode, and how do I set it?

Short answer: Eco Mode schedules short cleaning sessions so your robot can stay in the pool for up to a week before recharging.

Easy About 1 min Tools: Robot charger

Based on Maytronics support, updated 2025-02-11, rewritten by Poolbots' pool experts. Applies to 2 models.

The answer

What to know.

Eco Mode automatically schedules shorter cleaning sessions, allowing the robot to stay in the pool for up to a week before recharging.

It is available on Dolphin Liberty 200 units manufactured in 2024 or later, Dolphin Liberty 300, and Liberty 400.

Liberty 200 and Liberty 300 schedule

For Liberty 200 units manufactured in 2024 or later and Liberty 300, Eco Mode divides cleaning into three 30-minute cycles over one week. The robot sleeps for 48 hours between cycles.

Liberty 400 schedules

Liberty 400 has Advanced Eco Mode, with three options:

  • Three 40-minute sessions, spaced 48 hours apart, for floor-only cleaning.
  • Two 60-minute sessions, spaced 72 hours apart.
  • Four 30-minute sessions, spaced 48 hours apart.

Set Eco Mode on Liberty 200/300/400

Start with a fully charged battery.

  1. Step 1: Turn on the robot Switch the robot on with the Power (ON) button.

  2. Step 2: Activate Eco Mode Once the battery LED lights up, press and hold the Power (ON) button for 5-8 seconds, until the battery LED flashes purple 3 times, then green 3 times.

  3. Step 3: Put the robot in the pool Place the robot in the water. It will begin cleaning within 30 seconds.

Turn off Eco Mode

Hold the Power button for 4 seconds, or connect the robot to its charger.
