Robotic cleaners have become more and more popular in recent years, as technology has become more reliable, and prices have fallen. Robotic cleaners work independently from your pool pool system, as they are driven by an electric motor inside the unit and plugged into a separate power source. They are a self-contained cleaner, collecting dirt and debris in a canister within the cleaner. Robotic pool cleaners have built-in intelligence that ensures they cover a greater area of the pool surface than any alternative cleaners. Whilst they are slightly more expensive initially, robotics cleaners over time can save you money.

The eBox makes it easy to operate the cleaner at the touch of a button. The new generation eBox indicates when the filter is full with the cleaner icon lit up in red. It also allows you to program the cleaner to run each day for up t 7 days, program the cleaner intensity (low or high), pool coverage (floor, walls, waterline) and shape of the pool (rectangular or free form). Last but not least you can adjust the time of the cleaning cycle up to 3 hours.
RETURN TO BENEFITS & FEATURES
Vortex technology provides powerful and constant cyclonic suction through its whirlpool effect within the filter canister. This allows the VX55 4WD to capture large debris such as gum nuts, twigs and eucalyptus leaves which other cleaners struggle with, whilst not losing suction power.

Zodiac has developed industry leading technology in the new Lift System. No longer is it a hassle removing the cleaner out of the water. The Lift System expels water out of the cleaner reducing effort by 20% when taking the VX55 4WD out of the pool.

The cleaner comes out of the box with a 5L capacity large filter canister with 200 micron mesh ideal for large debris such as leaves, twigs and gumnuts. A 100 micron mesh filter canister can also be purchased separately, best for fine dirt and sand. With easy access from the top of the cleaner, it takes little to no time to remove the filter canister. Then simply hose to clean without touching the debris with your hands. It is what we call "white glove" cleaning.

(assuming your rate is 25cents kWh and you run the cleaner for 3 hours, 5 times a week)
Energy (W) x Hours per day x Days per year / 1000 = ? x Cents/kWh = Cost per year
VX55 4WD Energy cost per year = (150 x 3 x 260) / 1000 = 117 x 0.25 cents kWh = $29.25/ Year
