How can I clean my swimming pool effectively while I'm away?

Whether you're going on holiday for a week or several weeks, your pool still needs a little attention to keep it clean, healthy and inviting. But how can you ensure it is maintained without being there every day? Thanks to the latest technologies, it is now possible to delegate this task effectively. The new generation of pool robots, such as Beatbot's AquaSense Pro, AquaSense 2 Pro and AquaSense 2 Ultra, with smart ECO mode, are the ideal solution. Combined with the iSkim Ultra surface robot, they allow for a complete cleaning from the bottom to the surface, even in your absence. Here's how to organise the maintenance of your pool with complete peace of mind.

Prepare your pool before you leave

Good pool maintenance in your absence starts with careful preparation. Before you leave, give the pool a thorough cleaning with your Beatbot pool robot. Check the pH of the water, adjust the chlorine or salt levels and clean the main filter. If you use a robot such as the AquaSense Pro or the AquaSense 2 Pro, run a cleaning cycle in classic mode to remove all impurities before you leave. It is also recommended that you cover the pool with a suitable tarpaulin. This limits evaporation, prevents dirt from entering the water and reduces the proliferation of algae. This will considerably reduce the need for maintenance during your absence. Finally, programme the cleaning cycles in ECO mode on your robot in advance to keep the water clear with minimal energy consumption.

The ECO mode of Beatbot robots: ideal when you are away

The AquaSense 2 Pro and AquaSense 2 Ultra pool robots from Beatbot feature a smart ECO mode, perfect for long periods of unattended use. This mode automatically reduces the frequency and duration of cycles while maintaining satisfactory cleaning efficiency. The robot goes into hibernation between sessions to save energy and extend battery life. This feature is particularly useful if you are away for several days or weeks: you can be sure that your pool will stay clean without driving up your electricity bill. Programming is simple via the mobile app, allowing you to plan everything in advance, even from a distance. A major advantage for peace of mind, while maintaining high-quality water when you return.

Managing the water surface with iSkim Ultra

Even in your absence, the water surface remains exposed to leaves, insects and other flying debris. To prevent this dirt from accumulating and polluting your pool, the iSkim Ultra solar skimmer robot from Beatbot is an ideal solution. This autonomous surface robot runs solely on solar energy, making it completely independent of your home's electrical system.

The iSkim Ultra automatically detects the dirtiest areas on the surface of the water and smartly moves to clean them. It perfectly complements the work of the AquaSense 2 Pro or the Ultra, ensuring complete cleaning from the bottom to the surface, without any human intervention. Its total autonomy makes it an indispensable ally for keeping a pool spotless during your absences.

Automate chemical treatments

To prevent the proliferation of algae or bacteria during your absence, the water must remain disinfected. If you don't have an automatic dosing system, you can use slow-release chlorine tablets placed in a floating dispenser or install an automatic regulator. Some high-end robots such as the AquaSense 2 Ultra integrate water pre-treatment in combination with their mechanical action, reducing the amount of chemicals needed. You can also opt for slow-release multi-action products. These simple solutions, combined with the constant action of the robot in ECO mode, help maintain a good water balance even when unattended. It's a good compromise for those who don't want to invest immediately in a complete home automation system for their pool.

Monitor your pool remotely

The AquaSense Pro, AquaSense 2 Pro and AquaSense 2 Ultra robots are compatible with an intuitive mobile application. This connectivity allows you to monitor the status of your pool in real time, wherever you are. Receive alerts in the event of a malfunction, launch a one-off cleaning remotely or modify the programming of your cycles according to the weather or the length of your absence. In addition, consider installing an outdoor camera or a connected water level sensor. These small devices offer complete monitoring and allow you to intervene quickly in case of a problem, even if you are hundreds of kilometres away. With a well-designed installation, your pool continues to function as if you were at home.

A clean pool ready for use when you return

Thanks to current technologies, it is entirely possible to leave your pool unattended during extended absences. Smart robots such as AquaSense Pro, AquaSense 2 Pro and AquaSense 2 Ultra from Beatbot, combined with the iSkim Ultra solar skimmer, ensure complete maintenance from the bottom to the surface in ECO mode. Combined with a few simple preparation steps before departure and an automatic or semi-automatic treatment system, these tools keep the water healthy, clear and clean. So when you return, you will find a pleasant pool, ready for use, with no unpleasant surprises or cleaning chores. A modern and effective solution for combining holidays with peace of mind.

Ease of use and quick installation One of the major advantages of wireless pool robots is their ease of installation and use. Manufacturers, such as Beatbot with its AquaSense and iSkim ranges, have thought of every detail so that even the least technophile users can take advantage of this innovation. In just a few clicks, via a user-friendly mobile interface, you can programme cleaning cycles tailored to your needs and the use of your pool.

Quick repair and troubleshooting tips
Even the most efficient devices can experience minor technical problems. That's why it's essential to know a few repair and troubleshooting tips to avoid any prolonged breakdowns. In the event of a malfunction, start by checking the filters and connections, which are often the cause of common problems. The maintenance guides provided by manufacturers, such as those from Beatbot, are a mine of information for quickly solving problems without calling in a technician. For example, simply retightening a part or thoroughly cleaning the sensors can often be enough to get your robot back up and running.
