Learn About Above Ground Robots

Keeping an above ground pool clean can be a hassle. If you're a pool owner, a robotic pool cleaner can eliminate most of the hard work when vacuuming and scrubbing your pool. One of the most important factors to consider is the robot's suction power. Every above-ground pool robot we carry filters over 4000 GPH+.

Lastly, you'll want a robot with highly-pleated filters such as NanoFilters™. With an increased surface area, NanoFilters capture more than standard pool robot filters and can clean particles as small as 2 microns. Select robots, such as the Max-Series, have optional NanoFilters you can add on to upgrade your filtration.

What is an above ground pool robot?

An above-ground pool robot is a type of automated pool cleaner specifically designed for above-ground swimming pools. These devices operate independently, with advanced technology to navigate and clean the pool's floor and sometimes walls. They are equipped with brushes, filters, and suction mechanisms to remove debris, dirt, and algae. These robots are known for their efficiency and ease of use, reducing the manual effort required for pool maintenance.

What kind of pool robot is best for an above ground pool?

The best kind of pool robot for an above-ground pool depends on the pool's size, shape, and the type of debris it usually collects. Robotic cleaners that offer smart navigation, NanoFilters, and are compatible with the pool's dimensions are ideal. Every robot we carry are compatible with Intex, Bestway, and more - whether you have a round, rectangle, square, or other, we have an above ground pool robot for you.

Which above-ground pool robot is best?

Our pool experts have broken down the Best Above Ground Pool Cleaners of the year. From the Dolphin Cayman to Dolphin Escape, they cover all the top models for 2024.

Dolphin E10 Lightweight
Dolphin E10

Dolphin E10

The Dolphin E10, part of the Dolphin Explorer lineup, presents an ideal budget-friendly solution for above-ground pool owners looking for simplicity and effectiveness in a pool cleaner. Priced under $500, it's an excellent entry-level option that efficiently handles larger debris with its dual motors and spinning scrubbing brush, capable of processing over 4000 GPH. Although the E10 might not boast the advanced features of higher-end models like the Dolphin Escape or the Dolphin Cayman, both offering NanoFilter™ capabilities, it excels in its basic functionality. It's particularly suited for those who don't mind a daily start-up routine for a straightforward cleaning process.

Dolphin Liberty 200

The Dolphin Liberty 200 reigns as the top choice for a cordless battery-operated pool robot, especially suited for above-ground pools. While it mirrors the features of the Dolphin Cayman, the Liberty 200 offers the distinct advantage of being cordless, albeit at a slightly higher price and with fewer features. This model excels in performance, providing hassle-free cleaning without the constraints of cords.

However, it's worth noting that the convenience of cordlessness comes with the need for regular recharging after each cleaning cycle, a consideration for those prioritizing continuous operation. Despite this, the Liberty 200 stands out as the leading option in the cordless robotic pool cleaner category, offering robust cleaning power that surpasses most cordless models. While it currently lacks the prolonged battery life of some corded alternatives, its performance and convenience make it a compelling choice for those seeking the flexibility of a cordless pool cleaning solution.
