Why You Need a Programmable Timer

Investing in a robotic pool cleaner means you should have true, hands-off cleaning. Whether you are buying Maytronics' Dolphin line, Polaris, or an Aquabot, without a programmable timer, you'll have to manually start and stop your pool cleaner every time you need to clean your pool.

Why Every Robotic Pool Cleaner should have a Programmable Timer

Hey guys! It’s Joshua with Poolbots.com, and today we are looking at why every Robotic Pool Cleaner should have a programmable timer to ensure you get just the type of cleaning your pool needs!

The Convenience of Robotic Pool Cleaners

The whole reason most of us purchase a robotic pool cleaner is because of the ability to set it up, walk away, and let it clean. In order to truly have a hands-off robotic pool cleaner though, you will want one that comes with a programmable power supply. Once you get out of the cheapest budget options, that offer only a simple on and off switch, you’ll begin getting more functionality with units such as the Dolphin Cayman, which offer a programmable timer.

Understanding Programmable Timers

When we say that a unit has a programmable timer, we are talking about the ability to set a weekly schedule for your robotic pool cleaner on the power supply, or through an app for more Premium models such as the Dolphin Sigma. Typically this means you can set the robot to run once every day, every other day, or every three days. This timer will need to be reset at the end of every week, but that is much better than needing to walk outside and turn the robot on every day when you want it to clean.

Ensuring Convenience and Efficiency

You buy a robotic pool cleaner so you don’t have to worry about daily cleaning your pool, and that is why we think every pool robot should have a programmable timer, because without it, you are eliminating the very convenience you bought one for in the first place. These timers can allow your robot to run up to a week at a time.
