What You Need To Know About Safety For Robotic Pool Cleaners Australia
Robotic pool cleaners are specially engineered to operate operate outdoors in a wet environment.
They are designed as Low Voltage Devices, (LVDs) to improve safety.
But because most are connected to mains power, they require supervision when being used.
robotzoo specialises in the battery powered swimming pool cleaner – so it’s safe to swim while they’re working!
Electrical Safety: The Best Robot Pool Cleaners Comply With Australian Standards
The AC Adapter is all important. It must comply with Australian standards.
The robotzoo Platypus II battery powered pool cleaner comes with an Australian Standards compliant power supply.
It must carry the RCM mark, and include the standard 3 pin Australian wall plug.
Fines and jail sentences apply to anyone selling electrical equipment in Australia that is non-compliant.
And so they should.Many suppliers, particularly on Ebay , Amazon or Alibaba will ignore these points, either wilfully or out of ignorance.
Especially those overseas suppliers selling online who are out of reach of Australian law.
There is no protection for Australian consumers who try to save a few dollars buying from these overseas suppliers.So buyers beware!
Device Safety: Some Types Of Pool Cleaners Can Be Hazardous
Suction cleaners, also known as automatic cleaners, that attach to the filter box can be hazardous.
That’s because the vacuum created by the pool pump can be very strong.
Even the best automatic pool cleaner can pose a risk, if it that relies on the pool pump and narrow pipes for suction.
The design of a robotzoo battery powered swimming pool robot cleaner is inherently safe.
The jets are blowing water out of the device, not sucking it in.
Water enters into the filter box of the device through large rectangular slots in the bottom, which are ample to catch large leaves

We operate a commercial pool cleaning business and after purchasing one for myself I have purchased one for each truck.
Easy to use , being battery operated means I can put it in and get onto other tasks.

Great little cleaner, easy to use and work out. This model only does floors but does a brilliant job in my 8x 3 m pool. Stays charged for about 2 hours or more if left on in pool. Great design features. Usually I leave it to clean for an hour. Not too heavy to lift out of water either and great price.

I love this little robot. I have a lot of debris in my inground pool from gumtrees. This cleaner picks up large gum leaves, twigs, gum nuts, worms, everything. I had a $1500 robotic cleaner that died after 6 years, and this Platypus II does a better job in less time. I didn’t want a cleaner to waste time on the walls as I have so much debris on the floor from all the wind we have been having so I rang Paul from Robotzoo to discuss my needs and he recommended the Platypuss II and I am so happy with his recommendation.

We are facility managers at 5 complexes that have pools, 4 x indoor about 35,000lts; 1 x outdoor 170,000lts. we bought 2 x Platypus 11 and 1 x Blue swimmer. tried them both in three pools, following is our results of using the robots.
The Blue swimmer is good and does clean the walls, it does use quite some time on the walls.
We think we will use this one say once every 4-6 weeks in all the pools, it did not clean the deposits above waterline, we would need to put extra water in the pool prior to cleaning to enable Blue swimmer rollers to get up at the above water line deposit.
But the Platypus 11 went so well on the floors of the pools that we have now bought 5 of them, to keep one at each pool location. very happy with the performance at all the pools, including the large outdoor pool. so turn on, drop into water and away it goes for about 2 hours. take out, drain, clean filter, let dry before charging, charge it ready for next use. The great thing is its really so easy to use instead of plugging the hose into filter basket and hooking up a Creepy or hand held. you will not believe how easy it is, and when time is money a good investment. we also bought 5 x extending Boat hooks from a marine shop to allow us to get at the floating handle to pull in to pool edge and out of water.
