Are you in the market for a robotic pool cleaner? Or just a regular automatic pool cleaner?
I have the Maytronics Dolphin Premier. Love it so far after 3 full seasons!
Great cleaner!
Whats the difference between robotic and automatic cleaners
There are 3 different types of automatic pool cleaners: pressure-side, suction-side, and robotic. The main difference is that robotic pool cleaners run independently from your filter system. The other two types rely on your filter system to be running to power them with either water pressure or water suction. Robotic pool cleaners are electric, self-contained units.
Swim University Thanks for replying. First time pool owner here. I’m still learning so much.
Nice bullet points, but your top three recommended robots would have been nice.
Agree !!
I thought the same
Totally agreed!
Jabari did you get one? What did you get and what do you recommend?
@@diamondgeezer000 I purchased a Polaris VRX IQ+, which has been amazing so far. My only issue is that it will wrap itself around the pedestal of an in pool table that we have, though, I figure others will do that as wall.
Maytronics dolphin s300i. Hands down the best robot. It’ll basically map out your pool and clean every inch of it while filtering your water. It’s unbelievable
I just bought a dolphin E10 last month and it hands down is the best investment I’ve ever made. It doesn’t climb the walls but does climb the bottom half which is where I have most of my debris problems.
I’ve been in the pool industry for about 10 years. Building and remodeling Pools. I’ve had two of these vacuums myself and I’ve had many customers that have had them, Dolphins robotic pools cleaners are a very good choice. You are really getting what you pay for with these vacuums.
I just purchased the sigma and it keeps getting stuck, leaves huge parts of the pool dirty and the light starts flashing in about 15 or 20 minutes of cleaning. I'm still trying to understand why this vacuum cost me almost over 1600 $ plus tax.
Great video, very informative & concise
Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
EXCELLENT VIDEO!
Very helpful! Thank you! 👍👍
Hi. Congratulations on your video series. Any recommendations for a budget, small inground pool robot? I’m not picky about cleanliness and want something easy and durable. Thanks!
Matt, love your stuff, watch all the videos. I have a Zodiac MX8, just cleaned my DE Quad filter, and now the flap on the flowkeeper valve keeps opening, and the MX8 has slowed to a crawl. If I force the flap to stay closed, the MX8 scoots around the pool. What could be the issue? Thank you!
I have a Hayward PoolVac Ultra. I’ve had it for almost 14 years. Powered by water flow from the main pump only. Easy to work on. Parts readily available. No electricity involved. I love it.
Great video. Very useful. Thank you. Andrew, Estepona, Spain.
followed your advice got the recommended above gound pool cleaner...A MIRACLE when something works better than expected!
Oh hell yea!!! Which one did you get?
@@SwimUniversity well which one did you get!!!!!
so what is the best robotic pool cleaner for the quality vs price? Where is the best place to buy
Thank you, Jim
I'm not an in-ground pool owner yet, I was doing research and came across your channel. I was thrilled to learn that you're in South Jersey because I'm just across the bridge in Philly. Are you able to do a video on deciding to get a pool {fiberglass}, planning, things to consider if you're in the northeast region of the country, and tips for beginners? Thank you for your videos!
Yea, I can do a video on that for sure! Also, I live in Colorado now, but Philly born and raised. Just moved out here a few years ago.
Which automatic pool cleaner do you recommend?
TOP MARKS for explaining that you should use a GFCI for your pool cleaner. Safety first, swim second!
@ swimming university. I’m looking to buy a robot pool cleaner but I have a semi above pool and I wanted to know witch brand or brands do you recommend. Thanks in advance
Great video!
Quick question: What do you think about the Polaris Vac-Sweep 360?
I won an aquabot Xtreme at a local pool contest. The package clearly says that it's for in ground pools, but I own an 18x33 above ground pool. Can I still use it or would it damage my pool somehow?
I’m a first time pool owner. It’s a gunite pool. The previous owner left behind a Polaris pool cleaner which I have to plug into this hose outlet built under the water. It works but doesn’t seem very effective plus the catch net has a gaping hole. If I’m to upgrade to a better model, do I need to stick to a Polaris or can I switch to a Dolphin etc.. and would the new one connect and work just like my current one does? Please advise ? Thanks so much!
Can you do a virtual Pool School? I'm now going to be taking care of my pool and would like some direction. If you do, let me know how much you charge. Thank you!
Hi i have pebble pool, round sides, small steps . Small size pool. Which one would you recomment? Thank you.
Any recommendations on a good all around bot for an above ground? I’d like to have an independent vac instead of constantly changing out hoses since above ground pool parts are a lot cheaper made than in ground. Thx!
So basically, you recommend I should get one that works well. Thanks.
😅
Im trying to learn how to take care of my pool by myself so at this time I have an intermatic timer and need to learn how to program. I have had problems with pool guys not know how to program so need to learn do you have any videos to show how to program
Hey wich one is good for a large debris and also for areas will a lot of ollen covering the pool. I have a salt water so i. An use metal
Hi, I want to know if I can adapt a valves to avoid water contact with the pool heater? I’ve had to replace a big part last year because water coming out from the heater , but if avoiding contact with the water could be save the heater?thank
I have been very happy with my Dolphin by Matronics robotic cleaner. I replaced an aging pressure side cleaner from a well known manufacturer, I was tired of replacing expensive parts on it and worrying about hoses. Well said and presented as always, buy a quality robotic cleaner you won't regret it.
I'm assuming it was a Polaris. I fixed hundreds of them LOL. Dolphin is a kick-ass cleaner. Glad you're happy with it :-)
@@SwimUniversity dolphin parts are a rip off though! $300 for a cable? lol
@@SwimUniversity good to know! I just got one
@@SwimUniversity
Dolphin stopped working after one year. Furthermore it doesn’t pick up the debris, it just passed without picking it up. I had to do it manually.
It stuck into the wall, stay there for hours. Debris pick-up hole is always packed up with leaves, despite of the fact that debris chamber is almost empty. I hate Dolphin pool cleaner, I paid over $800.
Aquabot I had before Dolphin, it suck’s up all debris, sands……everything…..and it doesn’t stuck into the wall. It turns itself when it hit the wall. It cleans the pool floor so well, I don’t have to do anything.
@@stevejones2782 Same experience here and I bought their top of the line cleaner for over $1600.
I am a new in ground vinyl pool owner. It's an L shape pool with a tanning ledge and bench steps. My builder included a Polaris 280. They said the Polaris should not be able to reach the steps because it would damage the liner at the step edges. So to keep it from reaching the steps based on where they located the return they had to cut the hose so short that my cleaner will only reach half the pool. It will not clean half the shallow end or half the deep end. Should I really be concerned about the steps or can I lengthen the hose so the cleaner will actual do it's job.
After spending a few hours online researching, I feel like I am being sold instead of told by sponsored videos, so my question is, which one do you recommend?
I just bought a house with a above ground pool . I have no idea what I’m doing . But your vids are really helpful. The previous homeowner said she has a pile of pool stuff . But hopefully there’s a robotic pool cleaner in there lol 😂 . But if not I’ll purchase one
Good luck!
Which one do you recommend for value.
What do you say about POOL BLASTER Water Tech Catfish Rechargeable Vacuum?
Do you think the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro is good?
I dont have a filter system , is there a wy to use a robot to clean above ground?
About 5"years ago i purchase the Zodiac 9550 sport and i love it, i was a pretty penny but worth it.
👍
I have the same cleaner. Expensive but worth it!
Always great tips!! Thank you! You’re a life saver to a lot of pool owners!
My favorite above ground pool cleaner is still old school lol
Polaris 360
A life saver to keep you from having to vacuum, nets skims the bottom from the return pressure.
can you show us how the pool's pumps and circulations work?
Will they work for aboveground pools?
I bought a Polaris P965iQ for my pool but It doesn’t not climb the wall until the border because the pool has steps all around and the steps are 5 inches. I want to return it. What should I do? Do you know another robot Thatiana able to climb the steps?
Can you do an updated review of robotic cleaners please :)
Thank you for your help. MG you are great. Ok so I saw these cordless Robotic pool cleaners from $59 to $129. Do you or anyone in SU family have an opinion and experience with these cheap cordless robotic cleaners. Thank you for your answer. Stay safe everyone.
What is your opinion on the Polaris p8 25? I just bought one ... I got it at Leslies and bc someone returned it and it did not have a box I got it for 500... I have 14 days to return it.... Please let me know ir opinion ... thanks so much kimmy
Are these cleaners specified for vinyl, fiberglass etc...
Do you know of any long lasting robotic pool cleaners? My Polaris P825 robotic cleaner cost me $1000 and it only lasted 4 years. And to replace the motor and cable they want to charge me $800.
I want to run my DolphinS200 with my auto cover closed for safety. Any issues?
How can I can clean the stains off my pool?
First timer to your channel and to owning a pool. Its a
30.000 liters , soft below ground pool. For those who dont know. It looks like a regular hard pool but it has soft walls and bottom. My partner and I were trying to figure out the after winter thing and we got it to the point of ready for chemicals, but we noticed that the skimmer basket seems to be stuck in its hole. Is there a certain way that is suppose to sitting in there and how do we get it out without breaking it? Since I live in (I am American) Belgium. All the chemicals are in French or German or Flemish lol. Luckily my partner knows these languages but it sucks for me. lol Any suggestions would be most helpful.
Look into a product called C Pool. I've used it for 25 years and it saves $$ on chemicals and hydro. I only need to run my pump 5 hours a day + I never get algae
Thoughts on the Polaris Alpha IQ + ❓
I didn’t hear a recommendation for above ground pools. I have an 33x54 round pool and definitely want a pool cleaner. Thoughts?
I have the same size pool, did you buy one yet? I'm looking at the dolphin sigma.
@@paulsouthard3571 No I didn’t as of yet. How long have you had your pool and where did you get it. We have had ours for three years and got it from The pool factory.
Just watched your video on robotic pool cleaners. Quick question? What if you live on an area of the desert that has monsoons and fill your pool with sand? Id there a cleaner for thst so you don't have to run all the sand and dirt through your filter system?
The robotic cleaners or suction side cleaners will pick up dirt and debris in a self-contained filter bag (not using your own filter system)
I thought you were going to tell us the best ones to get🤦♀️
Looking at dolphin premier
How about some pool cleaner suggestions? I have an above ground pool but that kit that comes with my summer waves pool does not work to clean it.
Totally! I didn't want to mention any cleaner in the video because they change so much every year. So we have a page on our website that's updated annually with the best recommended robotic pool cleaners: www.swimuniversity.com/robotic-pool-cleaners/
Great video!
Two questions:
With the mapping function, does it only work for one pool? We have a main pool and a baby pool. Could we use it on both?
Second, the baby pool has a new zero depth entry (and a max depth of 2 ft). Would a robotic pool cleaner work in this, or would it drive out?
Great questions. And I don't know the answers to them. I would contact the manufacturers of the cleaners you're looking in to and ask those specific questions. I would be that smart robots would detect when they're out of water. The mapping, however, might only work for one pool once it learns.
@@SwimUniversity Thanks!
Great video, thanks for not trying sell me a brand of robotic pool cleaner.
Thank you Captan Obvious...came here for your recommendations for an in ground pool.
I think if you have a pool that has a lot of leaf debris constantly falling in then a robot with a bag filter is much better than cartridge filter. And it was the best purchase I ever made,the robot cleans while I am cutting lawn or doing other things just plane awesome!
Which one did you get?
@@shekeabus iRobot but they don’t make any more.
@@lukew5255 thanks- I have the same problem with leaf debris- trying to find the best option
then why don't you make some recommendations man.. jeez.
You have any brand in mind
Dolphin swivel cords don't work very well at all. Cord still coils up.
Hi do u have recommended pool cleaner for vinyl liner inground pool?
Hi @SwimUniversity Aug 7, 2024. Do u have any recommendations for vinyl liner pool for automatic or robotic pool cleaner? Thx
I feel what is also a very important point is ease of cleaning.
Am I the only one thinking, how does this video only have 49k views??
Because not everyone has a swimming pool.
I bought a cheap, rechargeable one.. makes it about 1/2 up wall... I drop it in daily and it runs for 2 hours, when battery is low it goes to the side of the pool where a floating string with a handle allows me to pull it up. It does a really good job, but I also have a rechargeable stick vacuum cleaner that I use when I go in to catches creases.I ACTUALLY LIKE THE STICK VACUUM AND SINCE I ALWAYS HAVE PLENTY OF TIME, MY POOL IS ALWAYS SPOTLESS WHEN THE COVER IS ROLLED OFF AND PEOPLE JUMP IN. MYABE ONE DAY I WILL INVEST MORE THAN $250 IN A ROBOT.. BUT FOR NOW.. IT DOES MORE THAN I NEED !
Do this get the dirt from the bottom ? Which one did you get ?
How do I get ride of yellow algae I live in uk can you recommend any product to help please
Watch our video on Mustard algae (same thing, different name): ua-cam.com/video/PUCR623rSHA/v-deo.html
I hate hate hate hate pentair! Have a 6 month old $1200 vacuum that’s stopped working !! And have their led bubbler lights that went out 4 months after pool was built! And now did pentair get bought out?
Finally a decent, unbiased review
It’s unbiased because he didn’t actually review anything.
I see some robotic pool cleaners at $50 us,is this real?
In the market for a robotic pool cleaner for a fiberglass pool.
So, the basics about a pool cleaner, and zip, zero, nada on why you pick one over the other.
I have been using a Dolphin for 15 years, I am on my second dolphin and would never go back to a suction cleaner.
On almost all robot video review or forums , people are speaking about power consumption. I really dont get why it a selection criteria, while those robot already cost a ton, + you own a pool. Not like if those robots required a 600V 100A breaker... You run those what? twice a week? for 2 h top? Like if I'm shopping my next 2000$ cell phone based on the power draw from the charger
Aquabot is built very badly they constantly break
Swim university this was dubbed it looks like an old karate movie
You're just simply asking too much of me
I signed up for a pool, not a kid (or 3)
well for most of us this isnt an option
so the other type of cleaner just doesn't exist? righto then... I must be imagining the one in my pool.
also, the cost of these things is INSANE! $1000 Australian... minimum.
with my mechanical filter attached unit, it just sits in the pool, and cleans every day... I am not sold on a robotic cleaner I have to take care of... kinda defeats the purpose IMO it might clean well, but it's a lot of mucking about.
and most of us a lazy as heck ha.
Fair enough
Say "actually" again. Missed it.
Durable? Doorable? ummm That's adoorable...
Too much talking
Waste of time
