In this Podcast I interview Steve
Andrews of Aqua Products and we spend some time discussing their line
up of Aquabot Robotic Cleaners. The Aquabot Robotic Pool Cleaners
where the first robotic cleaners on the market and they are still
manufactured right here in the USA. To learn more about Aquabot you

To date I have tested and filmed over 12 of
their robotic cleaners and you can find all of these videos in this
playlist:
The shear variety of cleaners that are
available means that if you are in the market for a robotic cleaner
you will find one that fits your needs. They make models that climb
the walls and scrub the tile line and models that only clean the
floor and do not climb past the cove (slope of the pool wall). The
price point is as low as $300 up to $1,300 depending on your budget
and needs. You can get one with scrubbing brushes, scrubbing jets are
no brushes and jets. Depending on your pool needs will determine
which cleaner to purchase.
The Aquabot cleaners filter down to the finest
microns of any of the robotic cleaners on the market today. Most will
filter down to 2 microns which is better than a D.E. Filter. Some
have the traditional bags on the bottom while others have top loading
debris trays. One benefit of the bottom loading debris bags is that
they hold a lot more dirt and debris then the top loading trays. But
depending on your preference you can decide which type of debris
chamber you like.
As the cleaner is running in the pool it is
also filtering the water. Some pump as much as 80 gallons per minute
and others less, but all will filter the water while running in the
pool. This means you can run your pool less as the cleaner is
operating. You also save on your filter as all of the dirt and debris
is trapped in the robotic cleaner themselves. They have a self
contained pump and filter (debris chamber) and operate independently
of the pool filtration system.
Most of the Aquabot cleaners come equipped with
a cord swivel. This swivel will prevent tangling as the cleaner is
operating in the pool. Aquabot swivels are some of the best in the
industry in my opinion. You can also get various cable lengths from
40 feet up to 75 feet depending on your pool size and needs. The
cable is made out of a very strong material and will last a very long
time. I also like the power units that come with the cleaners. All or
very simple and user friendly.
Aquabot offers many warranty choices depending
on the cleaner. All come with at least a one year warranty. Some come
with a two year bumper to bumper warranty and they also have some
units with a three year warranty. If you purchase the cleaner at a
brick and mortar pool store the warranty is usually 2 or 3 years.
Being manufactured here in the US means that Aqaubot has many
warranty centers all across the country.
So listen to the Podcast and if you have any
questions or comments feel free to contact me.
