Niya · Troubleshooting guide

Niya Sonar 20 troubleshooting.

Check the Niya Sonar 20's charge level first, and turn it off before inspecting the filter or impeller grill. For more help, contact Poolbots' pool experts by live chat or phone. Every fix below is rewritten in plain English and sorted by what the robot is doing wrong, with the genuine part that fixes it.

Quick checks

The Niya Sonar 20 problems we hear about most.

Battery will not chargeFollow the user manual's charging steps. If charging still fails, contact Poolbots' pool experts by live chat or phone.
Stops at the pool edgeThe robot parks there when its battery is low or the cycle ends. Check the battery charge before starting another cycle.
Leaves debris on the floorTurn the robot off and inspect the top-access coarse filter. Remove trapped debris as directed in the user manual.
Weak debris pickupTurn the robot off and check the impeller grill for visible debris. Follow the user manual before removing any parts.
Does not climb wallsThe Niya Sonar 20 cleans the floor only. Wall cleaning and waterline scrubbing are not part of its coverage.

Start here

Three checks before you suspect the robot.

Charge, filter, impeller, tracks: in that order. Where a check ends in a worn part, the genuine replacement is linked under it.

  1. Charge fully with the Niya charger

    Use the charger supplied with the robot and charge indoors, out of direct sun.

  2. Clean the filter and impeller

    Rinse the filter after each cycle and check the impeller grill for hair and debris.

  3. Check the tracks or wheels

    Remove anything caught in the tracks; worn tracks are a cheap replacement part.
