How Can I Speed Up My Robot Pool Cleaner?

If you think your robotic pool cleaner is taking an eternity to clean your pool, you’re not alone. Whether you’re using an expensive robotic cleaner for the pool or a cheap pool vacuum, speed counts — particularly as swimmers enjoy peak swim season.

In this guide, we’ll cover how to improve your pool robotic pool cleaner’s performance, decrease how long it takes to clean and get back to enjoying your pool again.

Maximize Your Robotic Pool Cleaner’s Route and Settings

Contemporary pool vacuum robots come with adjustable settings that influence how quickly they clean. Look at your unit’s app or control panel for:

Control Cleanings: Reduce superfluous full sweeps.

Choose Reinforced Digital Cleaning Areas: Target the floors only or floors and the waterline.

Turn on Fast Mode: A quick clean option (offered on models like the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra) uses less water and gets the job done fast.

You may also consider Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro and Beatbot AquaSense 2, they are having intelligent navigation, provide faster and smarter cleaning patterns.

Maintain Filters, Brushes and Tracks in the Best Condition possible

A slow pool cleaning robot is usually a poorly maintained pool cleaning robot. To ensure that your robot pool remains performing at maximum efficiency:

Clean filter basket after each use, empty out and rinse the used grounds.

Check for tangles and wear in brushes.

When the run time seems to be slowing down, clean the impellers and water jets as they can initially become sticky.

Examine the drive tracks to ensure they have a secure grip and are properly aligned.

This regular maintenance of your wall climbing pool cleaner not only speeds up cleaning, but can add to the life of your machine.

Boost the Pool Performance with Better Conditions for Quicker Cleaning

A good pool is easier to keep good. Consider these enhancements:

Remove floating debris with a skimmer before it has a chance to settle.

“A good method is to run your pools circulation system before vacuuming so that you stir up finer particles that accumulate on the pool floor,” he said.

Put in a pool booster pump to increase water pressure and suction power for pressure-side cleaners.

For algae-infested pools, vacuuming with a pool vacuum post-brushing is crucial. You might also want to check out how to acid wash a pool for deep staining or how to drain an inground pool without a pump if you’re going for a complete reset situation.

Will a Pool Robot Get Algae?

A good robot pool vacuum like the Maytronics pool cleaner can do some maintenance on light algae growth, even so; some more stubborn or persistent algae may need manual brushing and algaecide treatment biochemical. With that said, some models are more capable at breaking down algae than others, particularly those with dual scrubbing brushes and high-capacity filters.

Upgrade to a Top Performance Pool Robotic Cleaner

If you use a simple cleaner and want smarter, faster results, it’s time for an upgrade. Brands such as Beatbot and Maytronics produce high-end swimming pool robot cleaner models that have quicker motors, intelligent navigation and are more energy efficient.

What to Consider When Buying a Robot Pool Cleaner

Multi Surface capabilities

Advanced route mapping

Quick-clean or fast modes

Powerful filtration systems

These characteristics can dramatically minimise the time needed to clean your pool.

Conclusion

You can make your robot pool cleaner go faster with the right settings, maintenance, and smart upgrades. It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to get rid of debris, algae or just simply have a big pool, if you optimize your pool vacuum system then you’ll be sure to notice a huge difference. Take the next step with fully automatic units from brands such as Beatbot or Maytronics, and treat yourself to a faster, cleaner swim each time.
