Contemplating the Boundaries of Robotic and Suction Pool Cleaners

In the extensive market of pool cleaners offering diverse options fitting various budgets, it can be challenging for individuals to completely comprehend the advantages of each cleaning mechanism and to make an informed decision on which one suits their pool best. Even when prices are competitive, rationalizing the expense of higher-priced choices against the more economical options can be daunting.

How do robotic pool cleaners differentiate from suction pool cleaners?

The degree of human involvement or ‘assistance’ necessary for automatic pool cleaners is almost non-existent.

Being robots, they are intrinsically self-reliant workers. Once programmed and submerged into the pool, they’re all set to commence their task, enabling you to leave them undisturbed to carry out their job.

Suction pool cleaners

Suction pool cleaners operate in a similar fashion. Once appropriately hooked and connected, they can be left to navigate around the pool. However, a notable difference between the two is that suction pool cleaners, even the best in the market, necessitate a setup process. The setup for a suction pool cleaner encompasses connecting the tubes to the existent system and carrying out post-cleaning maintenance. Post-clean maintenance oftentimes includes taking apart, cleansing of the filtration system, and backwashing.

This brings us to a comparison in terms of operating the different cleaning systems. SMONET Robotic pool cleaners are ‘smarter’ due to their technological superiority that enables them to scan the entire pool, map out the surface area in the form of a grid, hence ensuring a thorough clean. This not only ensures that the cleaner doesn’t miss out on any spots but also prevents it from being stuck. Contrarily, suction pool cleaners clean following a random or predetermined pattern.

Pool Cleaning Filtration Mechanisms

Suction Pool Cleaner Filtration System

Suction cleaners, unlike their robotic counterparts, lack an inherent filtration system, which necessitates their connection to your pool’s main filtration system. In order to function, suction cleaners need to be connected to your existing skimmer and filter at the water intake valve. As they clean pool debris, they strain the water via the pool skimmer basket and filter. This raises two main issues: the requirement of connection to an external filter and a need for the existing pool system to be on for it to work, leading to greater electricity/power expense over a period as compared to robotic cleaners that can function independently.

While initially, a suction pool cleaner might seem like a more affordable choice, the value a robotic pool cleaner adds cannot solely be quantified in monetary terms. The time one saves on toil and upkeep is priceless – providing you with more opportunities to enjoy your pool.

What makes SMONET robotic cleaners a better option?

As the advancements in technology surge and the dream of owning a smart home solidifies, SMOENT is pioneering the integration of smart technology into its robots. Equipping a robot with Wi-Fi connectivity makes its operation as effortless as simply submerging it into the pool and using an app to initiate the cleaning cycle. This feature even enables control from any location, at any instance, if the robot is inside the pool. Such ease of operation ensures optimal performance at all times. Furthermore, it gives the freedom to pre-program the robot with specifications like the cleaning cycle duration, the timings, and the days of operation, i.e., every second day if it requires deep cleaning in the pre-summer period or every Friday for maintaining weekend usability.

Be it a busy family or an individual fond of apps to connect to smart home devices, we recommend choosing a robot equipped with IoT WiFi connectivity. Our extensive range of robotic cleaners caters to all pool types.

Which pool cleaner is your perfect match?

Tips:

Switch off the pool pump and let the debris settle on the pool floor. This technique not only facilitates easier cleaning but also reduces the strain on the existing filtration systems, thereby extending their longevity.
