I have a kidney pool in my backyard, measuring about 36 feet long, with a varying width from 10 to 20 feet, and depths ranging from 4 to 7 feet. The unique shape and sloped walls make it challenging to clean, especially the waterline and hard-to-reach corners. After trying various cleaning solutions, I needed something that could handle both the floor, walls, and waterline effectively.
That’s when I found the Beabot AquaSense 2 pool vacuum. This 3-in-1 robotic pool cleaner is designed to clean all areas of the pool. With its four-motor system, SonicSense™ sensors, and intelligent route planning, AquaSense 2 delivers full coverage. It also parks itself at the surface when cleaning is done or the battery is low, making retrieval easier than ever.
The Problems AquaSense 2 Pool Vacuum Solves in a Kidney Pool
Full Pool Coverage on Curves and Slopes
Kidney pools don’t present straight, predictable runs. AquaSense 2’s SonicSense™ sensors and CleverNav™ planning allow the unit to map and follow the pool’s actual contours, including the tight inner curve and the broader lobe. In practice, I see even coverage across both ends and the “pinch” in the middle, with fewer missed strips along the edges compared with floor‑only or pattern‑locked robots.
Reliable Waterline Cleaning with Dual‑Pass Scrubbing
The waterline is where sunscreen residue, pollen, and light scale are most visible. AquaSense 2 applies dual‑pass scrubbing to the waterline, so each segment receives two scrub contacts per pass. On a kidney profile, the repeated contact is useful around sharp inside radii where film can build faster. This has reduced my manual waterline brushing to targeted touch‑ups rather than routine work.
Integrated Floor, Wall, and Waterline Maintenance
With four motors and a chassis designed to transition between surfaces, the unit shifts from the floor to the wall and onto the waterline in one continuous cycle. I don’t need to change modes or reposition the cleaner. For day‑to‑day upkeep, that consolidated workflow means fewer interventions and more predictable cycle outcomes.
Smart Surface Parking and Lightweight Retrieval
Retrieving heavy, water‑logged cleaners used to be the slowest part of my routine. AquaSense 2 surfaces near the edge when a cycle ends or power runs low. SmartDrain™ purges water quickly as I lift, so handling is straightforward. This reduces both strain and the time it takes to stow the unit, which helps if I’m turning the pool over for use soon after a clean.
Obstacle Detection That Preserves Coverage
Steps, benches, and lighting niches interrupt smooth paths. The dual ultrasonic sensors and the broader 16‑sensor array help the cleaner detect and route around these features without repeated collisions or spin‑outs. The result is fewer untouched crescents of debris around obstacles and more complete patterns along complex edges.
Path Optimization That Cuts Redundant Passes
CleverNav™ favors efficient, non‑overlapping paths. In a kidney layout, that translates into fewer unnecessary re‑runs across already‑clean segments and more time spent on edges and transitions where debris accumulates. The practical effect is a shorter, more productive cycle for the same visible result.
Precision Scrubbing Without Excess Abrasion
My tile and grout respond better to consistent, moderate scrubbing than to occasional aggressive brushing. AquaSense 2’s engineered contact along walls and its dual‑pass at the waterline lift film and light bio‑growth without requiring me to apply extra force manually. This approach keeps surfaces clean while avoiding over‑scrubbing.
Exterior Durability Under Direct Sun
The unit’s automotive‑grade IMR coating is designed to resist sun exposure and heat, protecting the housing and internal components. My equipment pad gets afternoon sun, so UV stability matters. The coating helps the cleaner maintain appearance and function through repeated outdoor cycles.
Routine Simplification and Time Management
My weekly routine is now predictable: deploy, let the cleaner complete its mapped cycle, retrieve at the surface, and store. Because the device addresses floor, walls, and waterline in one run, I’ve reduced separate tasks like skimming and waterline scrubbing to periodic checks instead of standing items.
Fit for Asymmetric Geometries
Rectangle‑oriented robots often assume symmetric boundaries. AquaSense 2’s sensor‑driven planning adapts to the kidney pool’s asymmetry—two lobes, a narrowed middle, and variable slopes—without me repositioning the unit. That adaptability is the main reason it suits this pool type.
Water Quality Support
By removing settled debris from the floor and disrupting biofilm at the waterline, the cleaner supports more stable day‑to‑day water clarity. I still manage chemistry as usual, but I encounter fewer spikes driven by organic load after windy days or heavy use.
My Kidney Pool, Now Easy Mode
If you have a kidney‑shaped pool, you know the common issues. Curves trap debris. The waterline needs constant scrubbing. Pulling a heavy robot out of the water is tiring.
Beabot AquaSense 2 fixes these problems. It cleans the floor, walls, and waterline in one cycle. Its smart routing covers the odd shape. The dual‑pass waterline scrub helps prevent that ring from forming. When it’s done, it parks at the surface, and SmartDrain™ makes it easy to lift.
I bought this house for the pool, and I keep AquaSense 2 because it helps me use the pool more and clean less. If your pool is kidney‑shaped—narrow in the middle, wider at the ends, shallow here and deeper there—this robot fits the shape and the routine. It doesn’t need the pool to be simple. It just cleans it well.
FAQs
How does Beabot AquaSense 2 clean the waterline?
Beabot AquaSense 2 applies dual‑pass scrubbing at the waterline, delivering two scrubs per segment in a single pass. This approach removes sunscreen film, pollen, and light mineral buildup along curved edges more consistently than single‑pass methods.
How is retrieval handled after a cleaning cycle?
Beabot AquaSense 2 uses Smart Surface Parking to float near the pool edge when a cycle ends or when battery level is low. SmartDrain™ expels water during lifting, so the robot feels lighter and can be removed quickly without a pole.
What setup is required before first use?
Place Beabot AquaSense 2 in the pool with the filter basket installed and charged, select a cleaning cycle, and ensure no large debris or toys remain in the water. No hoses or external pumps are needed; Beabot AquaSense 2 runs untethered and maps the pool during the first cycle.
