Astralpool Xtreme self-floating cable for Xtreme 1, Xtreme 2 and Xtreme 3 robotic pool cleaners - A16611

Astralpool Xtreme self-floating cable for Xtreme 1, Xtreme 2 and Xtreme 3 robotic pool cleaners

This is the genuine Astralpool self-floating power cable (câble auto-flottant Xtrem2, ref. A16611) designed to supply low-voltage DC power from the transformer to the robot while remaining buoyant at the water surface. Constructed from a Kevlar-reinforced elastomer jacket, it resists torsion, chemical exposure and UV degradation through season after season of use.

Function and design

The cable floats on the water surface rather than sinking to the pool floor, which prevents it from fouling the robot’s tracks, impeding navigation or becoming caught beneath the cleaner during a cleaning cycle. The elastomer sheath gives the cable outstanding flexibility in cold water while the Kevlar reinforcement core resists the constant twisting forces generated as the robot reverses direction.

Compatible models

Ref. A16611 is the factory-specified replacement cable for the Astralpool Zodiac Xtreme 1, Xtreme 2 and Xtreme 3 electric robotic pool cleaners. All three platforms share this identical cable assembly, making it a versatile stock item for technicians servicing the full Xtreme range.

Symptoms that indicate replacement is needed

Replace this cable when the outer elastomer jacket shows cracking, splitting or persistent kinking that cannot be straightened; when the cable no longer floats and instead sinks during operation; or when the robot intermittently loses power or displays erratic behaviour caused by a compromised internal conductor. A damaged cable creates both a cleaning-performance issue and a potential electrical safety hazard that must not be ignored.

Why genuine Astralpool matters

Aftermarket cables for robotic pool cleaners are often manufactured without the correct conductor cross-section or the elastomer compound rated for continuous immersion, leading to premature jacket failure or volt-drop that stresses the motor. Genuine Astralpool cables are rated and tested to the same safety standards — ETL/UL — as the complete Xtreme robot system, ensuring the transformer, cable and cleaner continue to operate as a certified assembly.
