How does a pool vacuum cleaner work?

How a pool robot works

A pool robot is an autonomous system with internal suction, brushes, and removable filters. It cleans the bottom and walls of the pool by sucking up dirt and filtering water. Although its movements may seem random, the robot calculates its own route and knows which spots still need to be cleaned. Stubborn dirt and grime may require manual brushing and additional cleaning chemicals. Discover more about how a pool robot works on our advice page.

Using a pool robot

Most pool robots have pre-programmed programs. In 1-3 hours, they clean the entire pool and stop automatically. Thanks to smart technology, the robot knows which spots still need to be cleaned. It removes superficial dirt such as sand and leaves, but not algae. Pool chemicals are needed for this. After cleaning, you can remove the robot from the water and clean the filter. Save time with a pool robot. Place it in the water and let it do the work. Easy and efficient!

Pros and cons

A pool robot offers many advantages. It saves time and provides convenience, as the robot independently cleans the pool. Thorough cleaning of the bottom and edges ensures a clear pool. On the other hand, a pool robot can be expensive to purchase. Although superficial dirt is efficiently removed, they are not always effective against algae. Regular maintenance and cleaning of the internal filter are also necessary. Despite some disadvantages, the benefits usually outweigh them, making a pool robot a valuable investment for an effortless and clean pool.

Maintenance

A pool robot plans its own route and, if possible, climbs up the wall. Start the robot with a control panel near the pool. The cable connects the robot to the panel. Sucked-up dirt is collected in the internal filter. Regular cleaning is important to prevent clogging. Check and clean the filter after each cycle. The filters are often easily accessible. Disconnect them, empty them, rinse them, and place them back in the robot. Keep the filter clean for optimal performance of the pool robot. Need extra filters or other accessories?
