Aquabot\u2019s lineup of residential pool cleaners<\/strong>.It comes with several new features including a dual motor system, an active scrubbing brush, and center vibrating sweeper brush, a pool scanning system and a high-traction rubber tread.<\/p>\nIt\u2019s not the cheapest robotic pool cleaner around, but it\u2019s an investment worth making. Your pool will stay cleaner and healthier.You\u2019ll use significantly fewer pool chemicals, and your pool pump system doesn\u2019t have to work as hard which means lower electricity bills.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s one of the best investments for any in-ground pool owner.<\/p>\n

\nCleaning Ability<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
The Aquabot S600 is a plug-and-play<\/strong> robotic pool cleaner. There is no setup required, just connect it to a grounded power outlet and drop the unit into the pool.<\/p>\nOnce in the water, it doesn\u2019t just rove around aimlessly hoping to cover as much ground as possible. It\u2019s equipped with the patented AquaSmart Gyro System.<\/strong><\/p>\nThis advanced pool scanning system is powered by a microprocessor that determines the layout of the pool and selects the most efficient cleaning path that will cover the entire pool in the shortest time possible.<\/p>\n
For future cleanings, it memorizes you pool’s layout for fast and efficient cleaning every time.<\/p>\n
As it moves along the pool floor, walls, cove and waterline, the S600 deploy scrubbing brushes and powerful suction to pick up and filter debris.<\/p>\n
An active scrubbing brush<\/strong> moves back and forth rapidly to dislodge debris and algae stuck on the pool surface. A center vibrating sweeper brush<\/strong> gathers all that debris for vacuuming using a dedicated filtration motor<\/strong>.<\/p>\nYes, this a dual-motor pool cleaner<\/strong>. There\u2019s a motor for propelling the unit and another for filtering the dirt in the pool.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Having a dedicated vacuum motor creates a powerful suction for faster and better cleaning. In fact, the S600 can cycle up to 75 gallons of water per minute<\/strong>. That\u2019s why it takes an hour or less to clean your pool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
\nFeatures We Like<\/h2>\n1. High-traction Rubber Tread<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the most common issues with wheeled robotic pool cleaners is that they keep getting stuck on obstacles like drains. They also don\u2019t scale the wall as well, sometimes reaching only halfway up and leaving you to scrub the rest of the wall manually.<\/p>\n
The S600 Prime ditches wheels for a rubber tread. The commercial-grade rubber<\/strong> has high traction which allows it to grip the pool surface strongly. This allows the pool cleaner to easily move over obstacles and climb the walls without getting stuck.<\/p>\nBecause it\u2019s a dual motor pool cleaner \u2013 meaning there is a motor dedicated specifically to propulsion\u2013the tread has enough power to handle anything in the pool.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019ve had to keep rescuing your previous pool cleaners when they get stuck on the inlet or the stairs, get the Aquabot S600 Prime. With it, you can relax and let the pool cleaner do its job.<\/p>\n
2. 360-degree Swivel Cable<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
There\u2019s nothing more frustrating than constantly having to untangle a pool cleaner cable. Fortunately, swivel cables have become more common even among cheaper robotic pool cleaners.<\/p>\n
The S600 uses a 360-degree swivel cable<\/strong> to ensure the pool cleaner can move about in the pool without the cable getting into its way.<\/p>\nI\u2019ve not seen any customer complaints about the cable getting tangled during cleaning.<\/p>\n
3. Top-access Filters with Clear Cover<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
The S600 can pick up debris as large as small rocks and sand and particles as small as algae and fine dust.<\/p>\n
All the debris is collected into the large filter cartridge<\/strong>.There is a \u2018cartridge full\u2019 indicator<\/strong> to tell you when it\u2019s time to empty and clean the filters.<\/p>\nTo access the filters, you don\u2019t need to turn the pool cleaner upside down. Open the clear polycarbonate top lid<\/strong>\u00a0and pull the filter cartridge out. Empty the collected debris and hose it down before putting it back into the pool cleaner.<\/p>\nThe filters are so easy to access that you don\u2019t even need to take the pool cleaner out of the water completely.<\/p>\n
If the cartridge fills up midway during cleaning, gently pull up the cleaner to the surface of the water and open the lid to remove the filters.<\/p>\n
4. Auto-Cleaning Programs<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
You can set the S600\u2019s cleaning cycle to run for 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hours<\/strong> depending on how dirty your pool is.<\/p>\nYou can also schedule the pool cleaner to automatically clean every 2, 3 or 4 days<\/strong> depending on how quickly dirt and debris build-up in the pool.<\/p>\n
