With spring just around the corner and summer fast approaching, many pool owners are starting to work on their pools to get the water ready for the season. Cleaning is often the least enjoyable part, so having a robot that automates maintenance It is becoming an increasingly common option among users.
In this context, the following now arrives in our market: Ecovacs Ultramarine P1A new robotic pool cleaner that applies the brand's expertise in domestic robotics to pool maintenance. The product is a submersible device that cleans both the bottom and walls, operating autonomously and no need for cables during use.
A pool cleaner designed for the home user
The Ultramarine P1 is geared towards those looking for keep the pool clean throughout the summer without constantly relying on manual cleaning. The device works similarly to a robotic floor vacuum cleaner, but adapted to the aquatic environment: it submerges, travels across the surface to be cleaned, and removes accumulated dirt with minimal user intervention.
Thus, one of the key features of the new Ecovacs robot vacuum is its suction power. The robot incorporates advanced technology. UltraPure Suction, with a power of 4800 GPH (gallons per hour), which allows it vacuuming everything from bulky waste to very fine particlesIn practice, this means that it can handle leaves, sand, or small debris that settles at the bottom without too much trouble, just like other options on the market such as the Airer Scuba X1 Pro Max.
To complement that power, the team uses a dual-layer filtration systemOn the outside, there is a 180-micron mesh that retains larger particles, while on the inside, there is an integrated 3-micron ultrafine filter. This combination is designed to trap up to 99% of the particles floating in the water and handle more than a dozen different types of waste, from visible dirt to sediments barely noticeable to the naked eye.
In addition to suction, the robot relies on a system of four independent planing rollersThese rollers, distributed between the front and back of the device, remove dirt stuck to both the bottom and walls of the pool, making it easier for particles to detach and be vacuumed more effectively.
This design also improves underwater traction, which is key for the robot to succeed. climb walls and move with stability even on slippery or uneven surfaces. The goal is to leave virtually no untreated areas and limit manual intervention to very specific tasks, such as removing the robot or cleaning the filters when necessary.
Rugged construction, good battery life, and smart navigation
The swimming pool is not exactly an electronics-friendly environment: chlorine, salt in some cases, temperature variations, and sun exposure. To cope with this scenario, Ecovacs has equipped the Ultramarine P1 with a body specially prepared against chlorine, UV radiation and corrosionThe brand speaks of a 10-level durability system, designed to extend the lifespan even with frequent use throughout the season.
The team's energetic heart is a 5200 mAh batteryA capacity similar to that of many high-end smartphones, but adapted for intensive underwater use. With this battery, the robot can offer up to 3 hours of continuous operation In its Eco mode, enough time to tackle the usual maintenance of a domestic swimming pool.
According to data provided by the brand, this autonomy allows it to cover surfaces up to 180 m² in a single cleaning cycle, provided that the soiling conditions are normal.
When moving around the pool, the Ultramarine P1 relies on the system SmartNavi Intelligent Navigationwhich uses high-precision IMU sensors to know its location and the areas it has already covered. With this, the robot Plan trajectories to cover up to 99% of the fund and reduce unnecessary overlaps. This not only shortens the total time needed to complete the cleaning, but also helps optimize battery consumption.
The Ultramarine P1 is, incidentally, prepared for overcome obstacles up to 5,5 cm highThis allows it to pass over bottom skimmers, LED lights, or other common protrusions without getting stuck at the first opportunity.
True to the brand's established approach with its indoor robots, the Ecovacs Ultramarine 1 integrates seamlessly with the mobile app of the houseFrom your phone, you'll be able to start or stop cycles, schedule cleaning sessions, and choose different modes depending on the pool's condition or your preferences. For example, you can schedule a cleaning after a windy day or intensify the cleaning cycles after peak pool usage. All this without needing to constantly handle the robot, beyond removing it from the water when it has finished and emptying the filter when it is full.
Price and availability in Spain
The Ecovacs Ultramarine P1 arrives on the Spanish market with a introductory price of 549 eurosWith this figure, the device positions itself in an intermediate range within the pool cleaning robot segment, with an interesting label.
There's no doubt that after establishing itself as a well-known company for its robotic vacuum cleaners and other household appliances, Ecovacs is now looking to carve out a niche in the pool cleaning market. The robot is already available in Spain through the brand's usual distribution channels (both physical stores and online).
