Start with the surfaces that collect debris
Flat pools can prioritize floor coverage and fine filtration. Pools with tile bands, tanning ledges or frequent pollen need wall and waterline coverage so the robot removes visible buildup before it becomes a weekly manual task.
Match the basket to the debris load
Leaf-heavy yards need a larger basket and quick rinse access. Fine dust, sunscreen residue and grit need a denser filter basket. If both are common, choose a kit that makes basket swaps simple.
Plan the care routine around the robot
A robot handles underwater cleaning, while PureO2 helps with poolside surfaces, rails, tools and housings. The best home setup is a short repeatable routine rather than one large cleanup day.
