Explained

Compare Features in Detail

NanoFilters™ & UltraFilters™

Often overlooked, a NanoFilter™ can be the most important part of a pool robot. Without it, microscopic particulate — fine dust, pollen, and algae — passes right through the standard filters found on most robots. These ultra-fine filters trap that debris for a noticeably cleaner, healthier pool. The Clear UV uses UltraFilters™ — the UltraBin's ultra-fine filter panels — which are directly comparable to NanoFilters™, capturing the same fine dust, pollen, and algae for an equally clean pool.

Clear UV includes UltraFilters™ (comparable to NanoFilters™)

Hands-Off Weekly Timer

An automatic pool cleaner should be automatic. A true weekly timer runs a complete pool-cleaning cycle on schedule — every day, every other day, or a few times a week — without you retrieving or recharging the robot between cycles. An app schedule on a cordless robot is not hands-off if the cleaner still has to be removed and recharged between cycles, so Poolbots does not count that as a true weekly timer.

Smartphone App Control

App connectivity can put scheduling, cycle selection and cleaner status on your phone, although the exact controls vary by model.

Anti-Tangle Cable Swivel

Say goodbye to tangled cords. An anti-tangle swivel lets the robot move 360° around your pool without the cord getting tangled, so you can sit back while it cleans. Learn more ›

Warranty Coverage

A robot is only as good as its warranty. The Aiper Seagull SE is backed by a 1-year warranty, while the Clear UV carries a 3-year warranty. Buying through an Authorized Dealer like Poolbots gets you the full manufacturer warranty — never pro-rated or limited by cleaning cycles — plus a 30-day in-pool trial with no restocking fees.
