Robotic technology, on the other hand, simplifies this process for cleaning pools. That said, this machine automates everything, therefore hugely reducing time and effort required in the pool maintenance processes. Employing an advanced AI-powered navigation system, it will map and analyze the geometry of the pool in less than 10 minutes to compute an effective cleaning route. By comparison, it takes up to 4 hours to clean up manually on average, while Beatbot requires only 1.5 to 2 hours-a cleaning time reduction by as much as 60% or more.
In 2022, Beatbot was installed at one of Arizona’s key residential properties for maintenance services every day. According to its property manager, there was indeed a decrease in labor costs: up to 35% reduction of the overall upkeep expense within the very first year the product came into use. Consequently, the self-sustaining cleaning mechanism of Beatbot relieves the owner from having to spend hours scrubbing the pool floors and walls. This efficiency is enabled mainly because of its high-capacity filtration system that can filter up to 3,500 liters of water per hour, capturing large debris like leaves down to finer particles like dirt and sand. It does the same thing other pool vacuums would need several cycles for but with a whopping 40% higher efficiency in total.
With real-time monitoring by Beatbot, users can access its progress on the cleaning process via their mobile phone application. The app keeps the user updated about battery life, the cleaning status, and issues related to the device during operation, enabling the pool owner to take whatever remedial steps may be called for without going near the robot. In fact, John Davis, a pool technician, stated in an interview with PoolTech in 2023, “The ability to monitor pool cleaning remotely has completely changed how we approach maintenance. Beatbot lets us handle many properties at one time without being tied to each pool.”
Its capability to clean autonomously without supervision has also reduced human error. The sensors of Beatbot make sure that it avoids obstacles and walls while cleaning with precision. In a test conducted by CleanWave Pools in 2021, Beatbot cleaned an average-sized residential pool with 98% efficiency, which is over 40% higher than manual cleaning. This high level of reliability is crucial for commercial properties such as hotels and resorts, where consistent cleanliness of the pool is paramount for customer satisfaction.
Further, self-diagnosis by Beatbot makes maintenance easier on the part of pool owners. In case of malfunction, the robot sends an alert to the user’s phone, detailing the issue. The system will always keep Beatbot in the best working condition with the least intervention, reducing downtime by 30%. Pool owners do not have to be concerned about scheduling service calls or dealing with complicated repairs, as the robot handles most of the diagnostic process itself.
According to Mark Thompson, CEO of SplashClean Pools, “With Beatbot, what was once a very labor-intensive and time-consuming task has turned almost hands-off. It has simplified maintenance for our clients and allowed us to focus on other critical aspects of our business.” Furthermore, the energy-efficient design of the robot contributes to simpler pool care by using 35% less power compared with traditional pool cleaners, further contributing to lower operation costs.
