Why Consider a Robotic Pool Cleaner?
A robotic pool cleaner is hands down the best way to keep your pool water free of debris. There are a number of brands & models all with similar features & functions. Finding the one that suits your pool & budget is now easier than ever.
We supply the Maytronics range of robotic pool cleaners. From their entry-level S100 all the way up to the M700. These cleaners are the original robotic pool cleaners and have continued to be market leaders. We also stock the AstralPool range of robotic cleaners which have their own distinct benefits and technology.
So, why are robotic cleaners so good?
1. Cleaning Ability
Robotic cleaners like the Dolphin M700 provide the most effective all-around pool clean. They are programmed to ensure they cover the entire pool from the floor, to the walls and even scrub the tile line.
They have great suction for large debris, and their internal filters will pick up fine dust and dirt. The scrubbing brushes remove stubborn debris & any algae in pebble surfaces and grout lines, keeping your pool surface looking its best.
The AstralPool range of robots offers some unique features including twin motors for longevity and their patented Helix-shaped brush that funnels debris towards a central pickup point.
They also have cyclonic suction which keeps debris in suspension while operating, this avoids filter clogging, maintaining the same level of cleaning performance throughout the cycle. It also has an Elevate/Lift System where the cleaner climbs up the chosen wall and waits at the tile line for you to pick it up.
The top-mounted water discharge point means it is capable of expelling water very quickly and its compact and lightweight body makes it very easy to remove from the water.
2. Save water
Robotic pool cleaners can reduce your water wastage by up to 80% or over 13,000 litres each year by reducing the filtration time required, this, in turn, requires you to backwash or clean your filter less often, saving you up to 20,000 litres each year!
3. Reduce equipment wear & tear
Upgrading to a robotic pool cleaner from your typical suction cleaner will reduce the pressure on your pump and filter as the operating pressures are usually considerably lower when the filter is clean, extending the life of your equipment.
4. Self-reliant
They run independently of the pool pump and filtration system. Operating under its own power isn’t at the mercy of the other components, like when your suction cleaner stops working due to clogged baskets or reduced water flow
5. Environmentally Friendly
Lower running power consumption paired with the robot will keep your pool just as clean and filtered (if not more!) Add a Variable Speed Pump to reduce your power consumption further as you don’t require the high pressure & water flow needed to keep a suction cleaner going.
Robotic cleaners are also a great way to lower the environmental impact of owning a swimming pool, and in some cases, they may also help achieve a carbon-neutral running of your pool.
Finally, a number of robotic cleaners are Climate Care Certified. This is the swimming pool industry’s new efficiency and sustainability certification program. The Climate Care Certification Program is an initiative of the Swimming Pool & Spa Association of Australia Ltd (SPASA). Click here to find out more about the program.
