Maintaining a swimming pool can be a tedious task, but technological advances now make it possible to automate this process thanks to electric pool cleaners. These intelligent devices effectively clean the bottom, sides and sometimes even the waterline, considerably reducing the time and effort needed to keep the water clean. Thanks to their autonomy and suction power, they are becoming essential allies for owners who want a spotless pool without the hassle.
Why choose an electric pool cleaner?
Unlike hydraulic cleaners, which work by connecting to the pool's filtration system, electric cleaners are completely autonomous. They have built-in motors and an intelligent navigation system, enabling them to optimise their movements and adapt their suction power to the needs of the pool.The latest models incorporate advanced technologies, such as pool mapping, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, and active brushes capable of effectively removing encrusted impurities. They thus offer an efficient cleaning solution while reducing energy consumption and the strain on the filtration system.
Optimised and personalised cleaning
Modern electric robots are equipped with sensors that allow them to analyse the configuration of the pool and adapt their route accordingly. Some models have advanced navigation algorithms, guaranteeing complete coverage of the bottom and walls without unnecessarily going over the same areas. Depending on the size and shape of the pool, different cleaning modes can be selected, ranging from a quick programme for daily maintenance to intensive cleaning for very dirty pools. Some models even allow you to target specific areas, such as steps or the water line, which are often points where deposits accumulate.Simplified maintenance and energy savings
One of the great advantages of electric robots is their low energy consumption. Designed to be energy efficient, they operate at low voltage and optimise their cleaning time to minimise their impact on the energy bill. What's more, by lightening the workload of the filtration system, they extend the lifespan of the pool equipment.Maintenance is also simple: after each cycle, simply empty and rinse the filter to prevent the accumulation of debris. Some high-end models are equipped with a quick-drain system that allows water to be removed before taking them out of the pool, making them easier to handle.
What criteria should be used to choose the right electric pool cleaner?
The choice of a pool cleaner depends on several criteria:- Type of surface: Some cleaners are better suited to tiled or liner pools, thanks to specific brushes.
- Pool size: A model designed for a small pool will not necessarily be suitable for a large pool requiring more power and autonomy.
- Smart features: Connected models allow you to programme cycles remotely and access cleaning reports in real time.
- Ease of maintenance: A removable filter and easy access to components make cleaning easier and extend the life of the appliance.
