Electric Pool Cleaners

why Choose an Electric Pool Cleaner?

Electric pool cleaners have gained popularity over manual or hydraulic models due to their many benefits:

Autonomy: Electric pool cleaners are completely autonomous. They do not need to be connected to the pool's filtration system, as they have their own motor and filtration system. This means that they can clean the pool without the need for supervision or action by the user.

Efficiency: They are more efficient than suction cleaners, as they do not depend on the filtration system. In addition, many models have the ability to climb the walls and even clean the waterline, ensuring a complete cleaning of the pool.

Saves time and effort: You only need to turn it on and let it work. Some models have fully programmable cleaning cycles. You can set the cleaning duration, the areas you want to clean and other parameters to customize the cleaning according to your pool's needs.

Improved water quality: They capture even fine particles, optimizing overall cleanliness. By not having to clean ourselves, we can increase the frequency of cleaning. Keeping the pool clean reduces the consumption of chemical products and optimizes the efficiency of the filtration. Idea for saline chlorination pools, because we do not have to throw water with salt.

Water saving: Electric pool cleaners do not consume water, since they have a filter inside that retains dirt. This makes them a more ecological and economical option in the long term. It is not necessary to perform the typical filter washing, which as a general rule consumes about 300-400 liters.

how to Choose an Electric Pool Cleaner?

To select the best electric pool cleaner, consider the following key factors:

1. Pool Type and Size

• Small, above-ground or above-ground pools: Require lighter and more compact models.
• Medium pools: For pools up to 10 meters long, standard size robots are usually sufficient.
• Large pools: If your pool is longer than 10 meters, look for models with more power and longer cleaning programs. Some robots are designed for pools up to 25 meters.
• Shape: The shape of the pool also plays a role. If you have curves or hard-to-reach areas, make sure the robot has the ability to maneuver and effectively clean those areas. Flat pool: If your pool has a uniform depth, most robots will be adequate.
• Sloped pool or deep areas: Some robots are designed to climb walls and effectively clean pools of varying depths.

2. Cleaning Type and Coverage

• 3 cleaning zones.
• Bottom only
• Bottom and walls
• Bottom, walls and waterline
• There are models that allow you to start the cleaning zone.

3. Type of coating

• Liner, tile, concrete: Most robots are compatible with different liners, but some may be more suitable for specific surfaces. Make sure that the robot you choose is compatible with your pool liner to ensure effective cleaning.
• Porcelain tile: as a general rule, in this type of coating, the junction of the wall and floor is at 90º. Not every robot is valid. We recommend equipment with caterpillar and 2 brushes (front and rear)

Additional functions

Programming: There are robot models that offer the possibility of programming automatic cleaning cycles.

Remote control: Some models come with remote control to direct the robot to specific areas.

Wifi connectivity: Allows you to control the cleaner remotely through a mobile app. With this functionality, you can schedule cleaning cycles, adjust the duration and monitor the robot's status in real time. Some models even include support for voice assistants for added convenience.

Types of Electric Pool Cleaners

1. Depending on how they work

Electric robotic pool cleaners: These are the most common and popular. They operate autonomously, without the need for supervision. They dive into the pool and vacuum the dirt from the bottom, walls and even the waterline.

Hydraulic cleaners: they are connected to the pool's filtration system and use the power of the pump to suck up the dirt. They are more economical than electric robots, but require supervision and are not as efficient on walls.

2. Depending on the area of the pool they clean:

• Bottom cleaners: they are the most basic and economical. They only clean the bottom of the pool.
• Bottom and wall cleaners: They clean both the bottom and the walls of the pool. Some models can also clean the stairs.
• Bottom, walls and waterline cleaners: They are the most complete and efficient. They clean all areas of the pool, including the waterline.

3. Depending on their additional features:

• Programmable: They allow to program cleaning cycles.
• With remote control: They allow to control the robot manually.
• With sensors: Detect obstacles and avoid areas already cleaned.
• With active brushes: Improve cleaning of difficult surfaces and lightly adhering dirt
• With connectivity: Allows connection via WiFi or Bluetooth for remote monitoring and control.

Accessories and Additional Material

• Interchangeable filters: For different cleaning intensities. It is ideal that the robot cleaner allows changing the type of filtration to adapt to the dirt present at different times of the year. It is not the same the coarse dirt accumulated in winter than the fine dirt characteristic of summer. Having specific filters for each situation optimizes cleaning efficiency.
• Special brushes: For pools with coatings with poor adherence, such as porcelain.
• Transport trolleys: Facilitate storage and mobility.
• Remote control or mobile app: To customize cleaning.
