New Polaris pool cleaners

Fluidra, manufacturer of automatic pool cleaners and pool equipment, introduces the new Polaris ALPHA iQ+ and ALPHA iQ robotic pool cleaners to its lineup, part of Fluidra’s Trade Series Exclusive products. These cleaners are designed with internal intelligence that makes cleaning easier and more customized than ever, engineered with advanced programming and convenient app capabilities for on-the-go control.

In the new SMART Cycle mode, the cleaners assess a pool’s shape, size and surface material to calculate the optimal cleaning time needed to clean a pool. And with sensors that detect fluctuating factors like pool depth and acceleration, the Sensor Nav System can collect data and adjust as it cleans.

While both the ALPHA iQ+ and the ALPHA iQ allow users to control their cleaner from their smartphones with the iAquaLink app (via the home’s Wi-Fi), the ALPHA iQ+ offers functionality so pool owners can easily schedule recurring cleaning cycles, view current water temperature, receive timely status info and access seven different cleaning modes — it can even spot clean specific areas of the pool.

“Our customers are installing more advanced technology in their homes and they expect nothing less from their pool cleaner,” says Skye Svenningsen, director of product management for automatic pool cleaners. “The ALPHA iQ cleaners give them what they want: a smarter cleaner that actually learns their pool and the ability to control it from an app anywhere, at anytime.”
