Aquabot Cleaner
Robotic pool cleaners
They operate using sensors located in the bump bars, on contact with objects such as a walls they pause the machine briefly. The electronics will then restart the machine and reverse its direction. When this happens it returns in the same direction with a small offset allowing it to move one machine’s width over on each crossing of the pool.
Cleaners can be equipped with a timer allowing the machine to start and stop after an adjustable period of time. This delay timer is an important feature for many pools, as many switch off a number of circulation pumps during the night to allow suspended particles to settle on the bottom of the pool; after a couple of hours the pool cleaner begins its cleaning cycle. This cleaning cycle is set up to complete before the pumps are turned back on; this maximizes the cleaning capability of the cleaning cycle. This isn’t a necessity as the cleaning capability of the pool cleaner is still considerably high regardless of the circulation pumps.
Unlike hydraulic pool cleaners, these are fitted with thick rotating brushes that thoroughly scrub the tiles clean and trap the dirt in washable filter bags. Suction power is used to grip the floor, ensuring the tiles are scrubbed clean and debris is removed from the pool.
