The Kokido Skooba Max is an automatic handheld pool vacuum perfect for cleaning your above ground pool. It’s a snap to assemble and efficiently cleans the water simply by connecting to your pool’s low-flow filtration system. It’d designed to work with filters that run at a minimum of 500 GPH in soft-wall, medium-sized pools. Because the Skooba Max vacuums and filters debris from your pool simultaneously, your filter doesn’t have to work as hard, preventing clogging and prolonging its life. The debris collects in a removable filter bag that comes out of the transparent twist-top chamber. The vacuum’s aluminum pole has 4 extensions and can reach a length of 7 feet 3 inches. The hose is 20 feet long, making the Skooba Max able to clean much farther than other jet vac-systems. It comes with a basic nozzle, a clip-on brush for scrubbing off dirt, and a wide pivoting head with rotational ball wheels that glide along the pool floor that all make cleaning the pool easier than ever. The Skooba Max is perfect for pools 8-18 feet in diameter. Start enjoying your cleanest pool ever with the Kokido Skooba Max.

Aquabot R- and J-Class Robotic Pool Cleaners are an efficient, effective, reliable, and affordable way to maintain your swimming pool. As they systematically work to create clean and healthy swimming water, Aquabot R- and J-Class pool cleaners may even save you up to $2,500 a year on your pool operating expenses*. In fact, the more you operate your Aquabot jet-powered cleaner, the less you may need to run your pool’s filtration system. And because Aquabots do not require hoses, a pool filtration system, or a booster pump, they are energy efficient and require minimal maintenance.

Aquabot R- and J-Class Robotic Pool Cleaners: Automatically vacuum and filter debris and bacteria. T-Jet model also provides DeepClean power washing Self contained; require no hoses, connections to a filtration system, or external (booster) pumps Save up to 75% of annual maintenance expenses by reducing pool filter use, chemical consumption, environmental backwashing hazard, water waste, and heat loss; Patented guidance systems allow cleaners to work without supervision Can clean most residential pools in under 1 hour Virtually maintenance free Backed by industry’s leading warranty and supported by the largest national robotic cleaner service center network Designed, tested, and hand built in the USA

Pool Rovers clean without hoses, connections to a filtration system, or booster pumps.

Low-Maintenance Cleaners Work Unsupervised
Aquabot R- and J-Class Robotic Pool Cleaners act like powerful sump pumps and filters on wheels. These robots don’t have any of the annual repair expenses associated with other cleaners, because they operate without gears, belts, bearings, swivels, pads, wings, feet, shoes, hoses, or complex drive motors.

Self-Contained Filtration Eliminates Dirt and Debris
R- and J-Class Aquabots remove everything from leaves to pine needles to sand and silt, and even filter out microorganisms to provide you with a healthier swimming environment–all without the use of your pool filter. These robots trap debris as large as palm leaves and filter particles as small as 2 microns–that’s 10 times smaller than what most main pool filtration systems can capture.

The T-Jet hydroscrubs, vacuums, and microfilters in-ground pools.

And because everything is trapped in the Aquabot, very little is left within your pool’s filter, allowing you to cut back filter cleaning by as much as 80%. You’ll save money on water and filter media replacement, and you’ll reduce your carbon footprint by minimizing your need to replenish chemically treated water.

Designed for Efficiency and Improved Pool Health
When dirt and debris are vacuumed into the cleaners and then internally microfiltered, only clean water is released back into your pool. The force of the released water provides thrust to hydraulically jettison the Aquabots–there’s no need for the easily damaged parts found on other cleaners.

The added benefit of this SimplyReliable design is that the thrust of the filtered water circulates the chemically rich cooler water below to mix with the chemically depleted warmer water above. This results in reduced evaporation, reduced heater usage, more uniform chemical composition, and redistributed chemicals–all of which save you money and provide your family with a healthier swimming environment.

Aquabots filter out debris and microorganisms to provide your family with the healthiest swimming environment possible.

Works Quickly, Without Supervision
Completely automated with built-in guidance systems, R- and J-Class Aquabots do their job independently. With no supervision, these underwater vacuums will navigate your pool floor (J-Class cleaners also clean most walls up to the waterline), regardless of its shape. They provide complete coverage without missing spots, wasting time learning your pool, or cleaning the same spot over and over. Best of all, these Aquabots can clean most pools in less than one hour.

All Aquabot R- and J-Class cleaners, cords, and power supplies operate on a low 24 volts and are ETL listed to UL standards for the highest safety and reliability ratings in the industry.
