This is a great win-win idea. I'm retired and live alone and have a large pool (22k gallons) with several irregular shaped features, including a waterfall and an infinity edge spa. This picture was taken before the big Texas freeze of 2021 that damaged the black tiles on the waterfall and spa.
Hate is much too strong a word for my Beatbot Aqua Sense 2. I love it. It cleans so much more thoroughly than my many previous Polaris pool sweeps. It makes the rest of daily pool maintenance much less of a chore, and my pool sparkles again! Plus no hose to constantly tangle. I do wish it was lighter, as placing and removing a 35 pound cleaner will become a challenge as I grow older. I'm sure this is due to the battery that gives it surprisingly long battery life (approx 4+ hours for me so far).
If there was a way to make the cleaner lighter that would be great. Also, I have a 4 foot by 11 foot tanning shelf at one end, about 6 inches deep. If my Beatbot would crawl up on that shelf and clean it that would be awesome! I keep hoping it will break its built in rules and climb up there. I'm an Engineer so I appreciate the challenges with running the Beatbot in such a shallow draft, and it would probably splash a lot of water out of the pool propelling itself around on the shelf. Nevertheless, shallow draft cleaning is a noble challenge for your Engineers to ponder. Here's another vote for the ability to clean an attached spa. I think my Beatbot could probably negotiate mine, except I have…
