Two very similar features, but a world of difference in cleaning. Don't be fooled by robots that state wall climbing, as this is not the same as waterline scrubbing. During waterline cleaning, the robot will adhere to the surface of your pool scrubbing and cleaning tough algae, debris, dirt, and bacteria in your pool.

Hey guys! It’s Joshua with Poolbots.com. And today we are clearing up the difference between Waterline Cleaning and Wall Climbing, and which one is the one you should be looking for in a robotic pool cleaner!
When browsing for a robotic pool cleaner, you will notice that many are marketed as wall climbing, while only a select few are labeled as waterline cleaning. Don’t be fooled by the similar language though. If you are looking to scrub away the dirtiest part of your pool, the water and tile line, also known as the scum line, wall climbing units such as the Nautilus CC Plus will only stop short of the tile line, leaving work for you to do. If you are going to get a robotic pool cleaner, though, it defeats its automated purpose by only cleaning part of the pool. This is why you’ll want to look at units that say waterline cleaning, such as the Dolphin Premier or Dolphin Sigma, so you don’t have to pick up after the robot.
In addition to removing the load off of your back, it is important to buy a robot with waterline cleaning for the sake of your pool chemistry and the health of those who swim in it. Algae can throw off your pool chemistry, making it harder to maintain and keep looking pristine. And then there’s biofilm at the tile line. It’s the invisible film that’s made of bacteria and all sorts of difficult to pronounce organisms that you don’t want in your pool.
Even more important than maintenance trouble is the health of those who use the pool. If you or anyone that uses the pool is prone to allergies, algae can have an effect on them, causing unnecessary trouble.
So there you have it, the difference between wall climbing and waterline cleaning, and why waterline cleaning is the feature you are going to want for your pool.
