AI Is Replacing the Pool Guy: Here Are Top Smart Cleaning Devices
An entire “Seinfeld” episode revolved around the pool guy at Jerry’s health club—but these days, your pool cleaner’s more likely to be a machine. Using AI or other software to find their way around, a new generation of smart cleaners can remove grime from pool walls, floors and surfaces better and quicker than a human can. Apps let you control these compact cleaners, specifying when and how much to scrub. Instead of hunching over the pool with a skimming net, you can sit back while the robot does deep dives on dirt and debris. Here are the top choices for smart pool cleaners.
Beatbot Aquasense Pro
Artificial intelligence has come to pool cleaning. Equipped with 20 smart sensors, the Aquasense pro uses AI algorithms to chart efficient cleaning paths. By following optimized S- and N-shaped patterns, the routes ensure total coverage and easy handling of obstacles. Beatbot also claims the Aquasense Pro is the only robot pool cleaner that dispenses an eco-friendly clarifying solution to eliminate dirt, oil and residue for crystal-clear water. With a dual-propeller design, the robot captures floating debris like leaves, making it the world’s first pool robot to clean the floor, walls, waterline, and water surface in one device, Beatbot says. A gargantuan nine-motor system, with two sets of brushes at the front and back, provides powerful cleaning performance. When it’s done its job, or if the battery runs low, the machine releases water and automatically parks itself on the surface, eliminating heavy lifting and making retrieval less of a chore.
Polaris VRX IQ+
Could the pool guy calculate the most efficient amount of time to eliminate debris, while collecting data to make automatic adjustments while cleaning? Likely not. The VRX IQ+ does―and shares its findings with the iAquaLink app, where you can monitor cleaning status, check water temperature, and spot clean targeted areas of your pool. Its SensorNav navigation system adjusts and adapts to fluctuating factors like water depth and acceleration. The app lets you choose Quick Clean, Deep Clean, Waterline Only, or custom modes you can map out. A patented Easy Lift Removal System makes removing your cleaner simple. With the touch of a button, the device meets you at the waterline where you can easily grab hold of it. And, as you take it out, all the water evacuates, lightening your load.
Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme
If pool cleaning has you climbing the walls, let the Nautilus CC Supreme climb them for you. Its tractor-like rollers give it wall-scaling capabilities, reaching parts of your pool other cleaners might miss. Using the easy MyDolphinPlus app, you can remotely schedule pool cleanings, choose between cleaning modes and even spot clean. Propelled by powerful motors, three scrubbing brushes and strong suction offer serious cleaning capability. A dual-drive mechanism offers precise maneuverability, so you can reach tough-to-clean areas. And its ultrafine filter grabs even microscopic particles from water, leaving your pool fresh and clear.
Aiper Scuba S1 Pro
Aiper claims the Scuba S1 Pro is the first cordless robotic pool cleaner with horizontal waterline cleaning capabilities, using infrared sensors that help it maneuver around your pool and obstacles in it. A small, floating “base station” serves as the waypoint between the Scuba and your phone. Using Aiper’s simple app, you can select cleaning modes, get real-time reports on your water’s health and manually pilot the device. Even if you let it clean automatically, the Scuba does a thorough job; a dual-layer filtration system works in tandem with quad-brushless motors, the same engines that propel some drones. Hungry scrubbing and sucking can pick up debris as tiny as 3 microns―that’s 0.0001 inches―and deposit it in the Scuba’s huge, five-liter waste basket.
Wybot C1
Long battery life is one of Wybot’s selling points; this pool vacuum provides an above-average 120-150 minutes of continuous run time, and charges in three hours. Once it’s in the water, the machine is equipped with sensors and gyroscopes for precise mapping and navigation, wide coverage and fewer missed spots. The robot’s Intelligent Path Planning system allocates cleaning time efficiently, starting with wall cleaning before moving to a deep cleaning of the pool floor. Inside, it comes equipped with a powerful motor with a maximum filtration rate of 2642 GPH [gallons per hour], along with dual PVC brushes whose strong grips thoroughly attack debris and garbage like sand, leaves and old-fashion grime from all pool surfaces.
