When you want to buy a robotic pool cleaner, one of the most decisive criteria in comparisons is filtration fineness. This key element defines the robot's ability to capture debris and impurities present in your pool water, directly influencing the quality of cleaning.
What is filtration fineness?
Filtration fineness is expressed in microns (µm). The lower this value, the smaller the particles the robot will be able to retain. Conversely, a filtration with a high micron count will let finer debris pass through.
For example:
- The Voltera 105 rechargeable vacuum cleaner, equipped with a particularly efficient filter, offers a filtration fineness of up to 50 microns. It thus captures very fine impurities such as sand, suspended algae, or small insects, guaranteeing crystal-clear water.
- The cordless robotic pool cleaners Delta 100 and Delta 200, which belong to a more accessible range, have a filtration fineness of 250 microns. They remain effective for collecting leaves, insects, and other large debris, but let finer particles pass through.
How to choose the right robot for your pool?
The choice of filtration fineness depends on several factors:
- The frequency of your pool maintenance: fine filtration is ideal if you want to space out manual cleanings.
- The environment of your pool: a pool exposed to a lot of pollen, dust, or sand will benefit from a robot with finer filtration.
- Your budget: robots with finer filtration are often more powerful and sophisticated, but they can be more expensive.
