BWT F1 Sonic Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner
Description
BWT F1 Sonic Pro Robotic Pool Cleaner
Cordless, battery-operated robotic cleaning with adaptive Smart Mode navigation and dual filtration
The BWT F1 Sonic Pro is a cordless, battery-operated robotic pool cleaner for pools up to 15 m. It runs on a 9,600 mAh lithium-ion battery that charges in 2.5 hours and delivers up to 4 hours of cleaning per charge, removing the need for a trailing power cable or floating transformer. Three motors — two for traction and one for the pump — drive vacuum suction of up to 15,000 GPH, which the cleaner adjusts automatically based on the amount of debris detected to conserve battery.
Navigation is handled by adaptive trajectory algorithms, a gyroscope and ultrasonic sensors, with a beach-entry detection system for pools with gradual entries. At the end of each cycle the SmartPark function parks the robot against a pool wall so it can be lifted out with the included hook. The battery is user-replaceable under BWT's ECO Product Lifetime Program, intended to extend service life rather than replace the whole unit. The F1 Sonic Pro carries a 2-year standard warranty, with an optional 1-year extension available if registered within 14 days of purchase.
