Flotide – Automatic Suction Pool Cleaner 4.5 m³/h

Rated at 4.5 m³/h, this Flotide suction cleaner draws enough flow from your existing pool pump to cover the floor of a typical residential in-ground pool methodically and thoroughly. It connects directly to the pool’s skimmer or dedicated suction port — no separate power supply or booster pump required — routing all collected debris straight into the filtration system. The result is hands-free pool cleaning with no additional running costs beyond your pump’s normal operation.

Tool-free installation & hose routing

The cleaner snaps together and attaches to the suction line without any tools, making first-time setup and seasonal re-installation straightforward for both pool owners and installers. Hose lengths can be trimmed on site to suit the exact pool dimensions, and the cleaner’s random-navigation pattern ensures consistent floor coverage across rectangular, freeform, and oval basins alike.

Flapper mechanism & debris handling

At the heart of the unit is a purpose-designed flapper that regulates water flow to produce the oscillating movement that drives the cleaner across the pool floor. The flapper is engineered for easy removal and cleaning, reducing downtime during the season. Because all captured dirt is drawn into the pool’s sand or cartridge filter rather than an on-board bag, there is no separate filter to empty — routine backwash or cartridge rinse keeps the system running at full capacity.

Compatibility & pool surfaces

The Flotide suction cleaner is suitable for in-ground pools finished in concrete, tile, vinyl liner, and fiberglass. Correct performance depends on the pool pump delivering adequate and stable suction at the skimmer or suction port; a pump capable of handling at least 4.5 m³/h at the cleaner is recommended. For pools with a dedicated vacuum port, a suitable adapter may be required.
