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.

The troubleshooting table printed in the Niya Sonar 30 manual, one card per symptom. A part named here is in the parts list below.

What pool is the Sonar 30 suitable for?

What to do
  • The Sonar 30 is recommended for standard pools up to 32.8 ft in length.

Why doesn’t the cleaner respond after turning on the machine?

What to do
  • The battery may have discharged due to extended delivery or storage. Please charge the device. The LED indicator will light up steady RED during the charging process. In some models, the LED may flash GREEN while charging.

How to charge my Sonar 30?

What to do
  • Charge your Niya in a shaded, dry area with a GFCI outlet. Do not use an extension cord to connect the battery charger to the electrical socket. For user safety, place the battery charger at least 4 feet above the ground while in use.
  • 1. Connect the robot to the electrical socket using the provided battery charger. The LED indicator will light up steady RED during the charging process. In some models, the LED may flash GREEN while charging.
  • 2. When the device is fully charged, the LED indicator will show steady GREEN. After 10 minutes, it will turn off automatically.
  • 3. Disconnect the charger from the robot and the electrical socket.

What is the issue when the cleaner lights up with a purple LED indicator?

What to do
  • The purple LED indicator means that the cleaner is stuck. Pull the cleaner out of the water. When the blue LED indicator starts to flash, place it back in the pool to continue the cleaning process.

Why does the cleaner automatically switch off after a few hours of charging?

What to do
  • The device is designed to shut off automatically in 10 minutes after being fully charged to protect the battery and ensure its lifespan.

Why is the robot not cleaning effectively?

What to do
  • The device may absorb a significant amount of debris quickly when placed in a dirty pool. Check and clean the filters if needed.

Why can't the cleaner clean the wall or waterline?

What to do
  • The device may contain too much debris in the filter basket. This could weaken its suction capacity.

Why can’t the cleaner climb the wall?

What to do
  • There may be dirt or debris in the filter basket. Remove the basket and clean it. If the filter is clean and the robot still doesn't climb properly, clean the impeller. Follow the instructions in section 8.
