Yes, the Beatbot robotic pool cleaners are designed to save water while delivering an efficient cleaning performance. Among the important features that make it water-saving is its efficient cleaning cycle. In fact, Beatbot reports that the robotic cleaner uses a good deal less water compared to the traditional pressure-side cleaners. Pressure cleaners often operate by using the pool’s pump and filtration system to move water through the cleaning mechanism, which can result in higher water consumption.
By contrast, the completely autonomous Beatbot system doesn’t have to suck water from your pool’s pump. Instead, it has embedded motors for its movements and cleaning of the pool, hence easing the burden on the filtration system of the pool and saving water from being unnecessarily wasted. As a matter of fact, some users even claim that it can reduce water consumption by up to 40 percent in one month, as compared to conventional methods.
One Arizona pool maintenance service put Beatbot to the test in a series of residential pools, with the results averaging that using the robotic cleaner reduced water consumption during cleaning cycles by 50%. That was mainly because Beatbot doesn’t require the same back-and-forth water movement like that of a pressure-side cleaner, which is just a huge waste of water in the process.
Another great benefit of the water-saving design of Beatbot is its effective filtration system. The robot picks up debris without clogging the pool filter with too much garbage. This reduces the frequency of backwashing, a self-cleaning process by which the pool filter system expels water. Up to 250 gallons of water may be wasted every single time a backwash occurs. With, pool owners can extend the time between backwashing, thus saving both water and energy.
A leading pool supply company did a study which found that robotic pool cleaners, such as Beatbot, use 80% less water compared to the vacuum cleaners which attach to the filtration system of one’s pool. That is quite a big savings over time, especially for those pool owners who have to conserve water in their area.
A family in California testified that since switching to Beatbot, they saw a great decline in their monthly water bills due to the cleaner’s water-efficient design. Since it did not require the use of the pool’s pump or filtration system, they decreased their total water usage by some 15% annually.
Thus, the combination of Beatbot‘s efficient cleaning technology with its autonomous system and low water consumption makes it an environmentally friendly choice for pool owners who want to save water yet have a clean pool.
