Effortless pool cleaning. Smart control. Total freedom.

Meet the Zodiac FreeRider™ FR500 iQ, a cutting-edge cordless robotic pool cleaner that redefines convenience, safety, and performance. Engineered for all in-ground pool types, this high-tech pool cleaner offers hands-free operation, intelligent app control, and a powerful lithium-ion battery — all without a tangled cord in sight.

Whether you're a pool owner, builder, or service professional, the FR500 iQ delivers the efficiency and reliability you need.

Easy Setup & Safe Operation

Setting up your FreeRider™ FR500 iQ is simple:

• Charging: Place the cleaner in a dry, shaded area at least 3.5m away from the pool. Connect the charger to an RCBO-protected outlet (no extension cords!).

• First Use: Fully charge the cleaner (solid green LED), then submerge vertically in the pool until bubbles stop and it sinks.

• Start Cleaning: Use the rear control slider or the iAquaLink® app to begin a 2-hour full cycle (floor, walls, waterline).

• Retrieval: The Tap & Lift™ feature lets the cleaner climb the wall at the end of a cycle, making it easy to remove with a hook or by hand.

• Maintenance: Rinse and dry after each cycle. Clean the 100μ filter canister to maintain optimal performance.

Important Safety Notes:

• Only operate when fully submerged.

• Do not use in pools under 13°C or over 35°C.

• Always remove cleaner before adding chemicals or shock treatment.

Smart App Control with iAquaLink®

Take full control with the iAquaLink® mobile app, compatible with iOS and Android:

• Monitor battery and cycle status in real time

• Receive push notifications when the cycle is done

• Switch cleaning modes remotely

• Access error alerts and troubleshooting support

Wi-Fi signals cannot travel underwater – the cleaner reconnects when charging.
