Power Saving:         The Robo-Tek/iCleaner robots are fully automatic robotic pool vacuum cleaning systems. It uses 240V mains power stepped down to water safe 29V. This is provided via a floating cable to the robotic unit. This is significantly less than the pool pumps which owners currently use.  

More Thorough Cleaning than Manual Vacuum:        Much more efficient at cleaning walls steps, corners and water lines compared to a manual vacuum cleaner and worker. Less solid material in the water means less consumption of chemicals. It has its own programmed pattern which ensures a random coverage of any pool shape or surface type, It has caterpillar drive belts for traction and foam roller wheels at front and back for added traction and cleaning of the pool’s surfaces. The unit can be set to either 1hr, 2hr or 4 hr automatic cleaning sequence. This can be interrupted at any time by simply turning off the power or changing the timing cycle via the remote control. The remote control also allows the robot to be driven to specific spots in the pool to target specific target area.

Significant Reduction in labour required:        The Robo-Tek/iCleaner robot is easily handled by only 1 person. During this automatic cycle, the pool attendant is now free to perform other tasks such as clean the skimmer boxes/gutters, backwash sand filters if required, check water chemistry or perform other maintenance matters – related to the pool or other areas required by the resort. These tasks otherwise would have to wait till he had finished manually vacuuming the pool. It has freed up 1 man for additional duties or work for the duration of the vacuum cycle ie up to 4hrs worth of vacuuming.  If a number of workers are currently used to vacuum the pool, there may be potential to reduce the labour force resulting is additional savings in salary or re-allocate the workers to other duties around the resort which will have the same effect as employing an additional worker to complete additional resort jobs.

It takes approx. 20min for a peson to move a Robo-Tek/iCleaner robot to the pool, set it up and take it out and clean the filter and put it away for up to a 4 hr vacuum cleaning cycle. This is a 12:1 saving in man hours combined with a superior result in debris removal compared to the old manual method of vacuuming. This allows re-allocation of manpower to do other jobs in and around the pol or elsewhere in the resort. It effectively increases the current man power or labour force with out putting on extra staff.

Saves Water:      During the vacuum process, the Robo-Tek/iCleaner Robot holds ALL the dirt that it vacuums within its microfiber filter bag. This is a 20micron cloth bag which is simply cleaned by a quick wash under a tap or garden hose. The same filter bag will last for several years. It does NOT require regular replacement – simply a quick wash out. Manual vacuum cleaning must discharge its waste water either back to the pool main pump and sand filter system, which then requires a long backwash to clean, or discharge direct o the drain ie the environment….chlorine laden water. Significant savings can be made from this alone. An average 1hp pool vacuum pump discharges 230lt/min. This equates to approx. 421megaltrs per month….this is equivalent to approx. 5 swimming pool’s worth of water per month in volume going straight down the drain and which you must pay for. This price currently varies in Kedah between Rm1.40-Rm2.10/ Mltr.

Reduced backwash’s reduces wasted chemicals.       It is difficult to put an exact figure on how much Chlorine and salt are currently being flushed down the drain with every backwash. But an average of 6-10 min would be used at approx. 400lt/min means that new fresh water must be added from the town water supply. This is the same as diluting the pool with the equivalent rainfall. So extra chemical (chlorine, salt, acid, sada ash, stabiliser) has to be added. This increases chemical costs needlessly.

Reduces Chemical use:          Because the Robo-Tek/iCHRoboter saves water, by default it saves chemical usage by not discharging it down the drain.  These chemicals can be chlorine, salt, copper, silver, bromine, acid or soda ash depending on the type of pool.

Reliable:         These robots have in-service proof of years of reliable service. To improve and ensure on-going maintenance of service, EnviroPools Asia is the only approved Service centre in Malaysia for Robo-Tek/iCleaner robots. Most small repairs can be done by the owner, but EPA is available for servicing if required and caries the full range of spares and parts should they be required assuring of on-going support.

Extension of life to pool sand filter overhaul:        By removing most of the dirt ,grit and debris from going through the pool pump and sand filter Has the following effects:

1. Reduced grit which erodes pumps impellors and wears bearings

2. Reduces siltation and compaction of the sand filter – therefore extends life of main sand filter beyond 4-5 years….saves significant cost in down time, labour and material  by extending period between changing sand filter medium.

Improves agitation and flow of pool water:          Eliminates any “dead” spots which may be susceptible to algae concentrations or growths caused by poor positioning of the inlet valves into the pool causing a poor flow and circulation pattern around the pool.

​

Works in ALL Weather:           All Robots work in all weather....unlike people.  Rain or sun, day or night. Plug in and push the button and the Robots can be left unattended for up to 4 hours of continuous cleaning, Rain, hail or shine, day or night.
