ESSENTIAL FEATURE

Waterline Cleaning

Clean where it matters most. The dirtiest part of your pool.

Waterline Cleaning

Where is the Waterline?

Also Known as the Scumline

The waterline is where the pool water meets the air. It's the dirtiest part of any pool—where bacteria, dirt, and algae grow. These organisms are hard to remove and can be a risk to swimmers if not taken care of.

Why is Waterline
Cleaning Important?

A pool with build-up at the waterline can be an eyesore—then turn into a real issue if not taken care of. Over time, algae, dirt, and grime can build up and stain your pool walls.

Before robotic pool cleaners, pool owners were left to manually scrubbing by hand. Not anymore.

What Builds Up at the Waterline

The Scumline Collects Everything

Without regular cleaning, here's what accumulates at your waterline:

Algae
Bacteria
Body Oils
Sunscreen
Dirt & Grime
Calcium Deposits

Left untreated, this can lead to permanent staining and water health issues.

Is Waterline Cleaning Necessary?

We Think So.

Without the waterline cleaning feature, you'll be stuck scrubbing the waterline by hand. This regular maintenance can become cumbersome. But with the right robotic pool cleaner, pool maintenance becomes way easier.

That's why we recommend features like waterline cleaning and NanoFilters that help automate your pool cleaning—giving you more time to enjoy your pool with your family.
