Robotic pool cleaners feature active scrubbing brushes that rotate and scrub the surface of your pool as it moves systematically around the pool. The durable PVC brushes are suitable for all common pool surfaces. 

As the robot navigates the pool, debris is channeled into the large suction opening underneath the unit where it is then captured in the on-board filter. 

The wide vacuum opening ensures that the robot can manage heavy debris loads and most leaves.

These robots use smart computer programming and mechanical steering to move the cleaner purposely and effectively around the pool. Most of our robotic cleaners can also climb the walls of your pool and up steps and ledges* (Depending on size and shape). 

Some models also have the ability to scrub the waterline of your pool which is ideal for keeping water line tiles clean. 

Ultimately a robotic pool cleaner is a travelling filter that provides improved water circulation and adds filtration capacity for a cleaner pool and clearer pool water.

Unlike suction pool cleaners, robot cleaners carry their own filter on-board. This is an important feature because it means the debris collected by the robot doesn’t get captured in the pump’s basket and the pool’s filter, which means less backwashing and filter cleaning. In fact, using a robotic pool cleaner can reduce media filter backwashing (by 33% with a Maytronics Filtrite Robot), therefore saving water and money on top up chemicals.

The on-board filters can be easily removed via a top access lid. The debris can be simply emptied, and the filter hosed off before returning to the cleaner to start again. 

Even our basic robotic pool cleaner models feature fine-level filtration, however models such as the Filtrite RC-4800, RC-6000 and Dolphin X6 , Zodiac Freerider and Aiper N1 Ultra feature fine filtration elements; ideal for those pools frequently dealing with fine dust, pollens and particles.

Yes! Using a robotic pool cleaner can lower your pool running costs. 

A robotic pool cleaner is significantly more efficient in cleaning your pool than a suction cleaner because a suction cleaner requires the pump to be running in order for it to operate. Robotic cleaners on the other hand use a low amount electric power to drive their motors, via a battery or connected to a GPO. 

For example, a Filtrite robot uses around 0.18kW of power to drive it around your pool, yet a suction cleaner requires a pump running on average at around 1 to 1.5kw to drive it; that’s around 80% less power.  

That means over the course of a year, a Filtrite or Dolphin robotic cleaner running an average of 3 hours per day, could save you over 1,000 kW of power compared to the equivalent cleaning time of a suction cleaner.
