Automatic pool cleaners

Automatic Pool Cleaners: The Efficient Solution for Effortless Maintenance Keeping a pool clean no longer has to be a tedious task. Automatic pool cleaners are devices designed to vacuum and filter dirt autonomously, saving time and effort for pool owners. Their advanced technology allows them to adapt to different pool surfaces, shapes and sizes, ensuring thorough cleaning even in hard-to-reach areas. At Quimipool, you will find a wide variety of models adapted to different needs and budgets, from state-of-the-art electric robots to economical hydraulic solutions. Why choose automatic pool cleaners for your pool? Efficient cleaning without manual effort: these devices clean the bottom, walls and waterline completely autonomously. Some models incorporate rotating brushes to remove encrusted dirt. Time saving: it is no longer necessary to dedicate hours to the physical maintenance of the pool. Simply program the robot and let it work for you. Improves water quality: by removing organic debris, sediment and algae, automatic pool cleaners reduce the need for chemicals and ease the load on the filtration system. Extend equipment life: by reducing debris buildup, premature wear and tear on pumps, filters and chlorinators is avoided. Energy efficiency and sustainability: many models feature energy-efficient motors and optimized cycling to use only what is necessary. Connectivity and intelligent control: the most advanced cleaners can be controlled remotely via mobile apps, offering customized programming and real-time diagnostics. How do automatic pool cleaners work? Depending on the type, automatic pool cleaners can operate connected to the filtration system (hydraulic) or independently with their own motor and filter (electric). Their mode of operation consists of moving around the pool thanks to a traction system, sucking up the dirt with an internal pump and storing it in reusable filters or bags. Electric pool cleaners: they are connected to the electric current by means of a low voltage transformer. They incorporate brushes, traction motors, suction pump and filtering system. They are the most complete and autonomous. Suction hydraulics: they are connected to the skimmer or to the pool cleaner intake and use the suction power of the pool pump. They are more affordable, but less precise. Pressurized hydraulics: require an additional pump. They inject pressurized water to lift dirt, which is retained in a separate filter. Some electric models also scan the pool using sensors and software to optimize the cleaning path and avoid obstacles. Main features Cleaning coverage: from models that clean only the bottom to robots capable of climbing walls and cleaning the waterline. Drive system: multi-directional wheels, rubber tracks or gyroscopic steering systems for efficient travel. Type of filtration: fine mesh cartridges (up to 20 microns), multilayer filters or collection bags. Some allow both large and small debris to be cleaned at the same time. Autonomy and cleaning cycles: electric robots operate with cycles of 1 to 3 hours. Some allow you to customize the time according to the level of dirt. Length of cable or hose: essential to adequately cover the pool. Some models incorporate anti-tangle systems. Remote control or via app: available in high-end models, ideal for programming or directing cleaning from your cell phone. Buying Guide: Which automatic pool cleaner do you need? Recommendations according to the type of user: Home users with small/medium pools: Lightweight electric models such as Dolphin Carrera 30 or Zodiac 20 XA: economical, reliable and easy to maintain. In the cordless range: Zodiac Freedom OF 42, Dolphin Liberty 200, Dolphin Liberty 300, Wybot E-Tron i20 NG Alternatives such as hydraulic suction pool cleaners if you already have a powerful filtration system (recommended minimum: 1 hp). Large or complex shaped pools: Robots with gyroscope, active brushes and multilayer filter such as Dolphin E60i, Dolphin Carrera 40i, Dolphin E50i. Models with long cable, app control and scanning sensors. Cordless models: Beatbot AquaSense Pro, Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro, Zodiac Freerider RF 5400. Professional or high-traffic environments: Dual-motor pool cleaners with high suction flow and large capacity filter. Ideal for sports centers, hotels or spas. Dolphin C5 Pro or Dolphin C6. Choose options with transport trolley and automatic cycles. Explanation of technical terms: Cleaning cycle: time it takes for the robot to complete the programmed cleaning. It can be fixed or configurable. Micron: measure of the minimum particle size the filter can trap. Less microns = finer filtration. Anti-tangle system: mechanism that prevents the electrical cable from twisting during use. Suction flow rate: volume of water that the cleaner can suck up per hour (l/h or m³/h). Active brushes: rotate at a higher speed than the wheels to remove adhering dirt.
