Cleaning Performance
The Elite robotic pool cleaner offers 100% pool coverage, cleaning the floor, walls, and waterline thoroughly. Also, the EverGrip rubber tracks allow it to avoid obstacles. It can filter up to 70 gallons of water per minute.
- AquaSmart 2.0 microprocessor – It features controlled intelligent cleaning due to the fact that it uses the AquaSmart 2.0 microprocessor. The microprocessor maps the pool to ensure that the robot will take the shortest path to clean it
- Timer – It comes with a built-in timer that enables you to set it to clean the pool every 2, 3, or 4 days. Also, the timer allows you to program it to clean in 1, 1.5, and 2-hour increments
- JetForce Technology – It maintains high suction even when large debris is encountered
- Anti-tangle – The 360-degree anti-tangle swivel that it features allows peace of mind, ensuring that the robotic cleaner won’t get tangled in its cord while operating
In addition, it uses 3 powerful brushes that allow complete and professional cleaning of the pool. Two of the brushes spin in order to power scrub the pool surface. The third brush, which is the CleanSweep brush, rapidly oscillates back and forth to dislodge stubborn debris and contaminants.

Operating costs
This robot pool cleaner uses state of the art 24V DC motors that provide impressive power while keeping its energy efficient. This model runs on just 180W, meaning that the operational cost per hour is of only 5 cents. What makes it so energy efficient is the fact that it features the AquaSmart 2.0 microprocessor. Its characteristics are:
- Pool-mapping System – This helps the pool cleaner avoid obstacles, it minimizes overlapping cleaning paths, and it calculates the shortest path that the device must follow to clean the entire pool
- Rubber Tracks – It features EverGrip continuous rubber tracks that provide better balance, weight distribution, and traction. Due to the fact that it uses these innovative tracks, you can rest assured that the product won’t have trouble going up the walls or any other surface of the pool
- Cartridges – Easy and fast to remove due to the fact that the large access door swings open fast. This allows you to simply pull the cartridges out, clean them, and put them back easily once you are done cleaning them
