Frustrated with pool cleaners that leave behind sand, silt, or debris? Discover how high-performance robotic cleaners use industrial-grade suction to eliminate even the most stubborn dirt—from embedded algae to fine playground sand. Learn what makes true suction power and why it’s essential for a spotless pool.

Key Takeaways

VortexJet 3.0 Technology – 3X stronger suction than standard cleaners (25ft/min water flow)

Heavy-Duty Debris Handling – Captures leaves, twigs, and even small pebbles

Self-Cleaning Filters – Maintains peak suction without manual intervention

Smart Power Adjustment – Boosts suction for dense debris, conserves energy for silt

Proven Performance – Removes 99% of debris in lab tests

Why Suction Power Matters

The Problem with Weak Pool Cleaners

Real-World Consequences of Poor Suction:

• Cloudy water even after "cleaning"
• Increased chemical use to compensate for poor filtration
• Frequent manual scrubbing required for stuck-on grime

Pro Test: Sprinkle 1 cup of sand in your pool—if your cleaner leaves streaks behind, it’s underpowered.

How Industrial-Grade Suction Works

1. Dual-Pump Vortex System

• Primary Pump: Generates 25ft/min water flow (vs. 8ft/min in budget models)
• Secondary Pump: Creates cyclonic action to prevent clogs
• Adjustable Intake: Widens for leaves, narrows for sand

Suction Power Comparison:

2. Self-Cleaning Filtration

• Auto-Reversing Valves: Blasts debris off filters every 15 minutes
• Tangle-Free Brushes: Prevent hair/leaf wrap that reduces suction
• See-Through Canister: Monitor debris without stopping

3. Smart Suction Modes

FAQ: Suction Power Explained

Q: Can high suction damage pool liners?

A: No—smart cleaners auto-adjust for vinyl/fiberglass.

Q: How often should I empty the debris bin?

A: When 80% full (app alerts you).

Q: Will it pick up acorns or small rocks?

A: Yes—Vortex Pro handles objects up to 1.5" diameter.

Q: Does suction power affect battery life?

A: Eco Mode balances cleaning/runtime perfectly.

Q: Can I upgrade my old cleaner’s suction?

A: No—suction depends on integrated pump systems.
