Key Features

  • Discontinued - Still want an Aquabot? Check out our Aquabot pool cleaner reviews or our robotic pool cleaner reviews. Or read our list of the best robotic pool cleaners of the year.
  • Premium Filtration - New micro-filtration. Achieve the best filtration available with the i2’s micro-filtration bag inserts. Easy to install, clean and remove, these filter bags can be added to the standard filter baskets to capture small debris, algae and bacteria down to 2 microns in size.
  • Anti-Tangle Swivel - New anti-tangle swivel. For seamless cleaning performance, the i2 has an all new Anti-Tangle Swivel. Time-consuming and frustrating tangles are a thing of the past. Covering 8000 square feet per hour, the i2 cleans your pool efficiently without any hang-ups.
  • Easy Control - Simple operation. The straight-forward interface on the power supply enables you to quickly and easily control the i2. Just drop in the robot, choose the size of the pool and your work is done. You can even set an external timer for worry-free operation.
  • Three Year Warranty - 3 year warranty. The i2 takes affordability to the next level. Most entry-level robotic cleaners only have a 1-year warranty. A reasonably priced cleaner isn’t very reasonable if it just breaks down after a year. Backed by a 3-year warranty, built to last.
  • Crystal-Clear Pool. Fewer Chemicals - Enjoy a sparkling clean pool and protect your family with the Aquabot i2™. Industry leading pumps and filtration circulate more water and catch more debris so more of your pool gets cleaned. That means that your pool requires fewer chemicals, giving you healthier water and saving you money. Other cleaning methods use more energy and don’t come close to matching the coverage of Aquabot Robotic cleaners. Our pumps circulate up to 85 GPM and advanced filtration captures fine particulate down to 2 microns in size, giving you a whole-water clean. So you can stop worrying about your pool and start enjoying it. After all, isn’t that what owning a pool should be all about?

Questions & Answers

Common questions about the Aquabot i2

Above-ground robotic pool cleaners are designed to clean the floor only. In-ground cleaners with wall-climbing capability are built differently; check your model's specs for floor-only vs floor, walls, and waterline.
With proper care and normal use, most robotic pool cleaners last 3–7 years. Lifespan depends on usage frequency, pool chemistry, surface type, and whether you store and maintain the unit as recommended.
It's best to remove the cleaner after each cycle and store it in a shaded, dry place. Leaving it in the pool can expose it to sun, chemicals, and debris, which can shorten its life.
Most plug into a standard 120V outlet via a low-voltage cable and control unit. A few models are cordless and run on a rechargeable battery; check your product's specifications.
Running it 2–3 times per week is typical for many pools. Heavy debris, high use, or large pools may require more frequent runs; smaller or covered pools may need less.
Check that the power supply is on and the cable isn't tangled or caught. Ensure the filter basket isn't overfull and that the unit isn't stuck on a step or drain. If it still doesn't move, refer to the manual or contact support.
No. Robotic pool cleaners run on their own power and filtration. You can run them with the pump off, which can save energy compared to pressure or suction-side cleaners.
Most residential robotic pool cleaners use a standard 120V outlet. The control box steps this down to low voltage for the floating cable. Check your manual for your model's requirements.
Simple tasks like cleaning filters and unclogging impellers are usually fine. For motor, cable, or electronics issues, use an authorized technician or the manufacturer's support to avoid voiding the warranty.
Cartridge filters are reusable: you rinse or wash them and put them back. Debris bags are often disposable or optional for heavy leaf pickup. Some robots include both; check your model for options.
Remove the filter cartridge or bag after each run, rinse with a hose until debris is gone, and let it dry before reinstalling. Replace filters as recommended in your owner's manual.
Warranty varies by model. Check your product packaging or the Aquabot website for the specific warranty (e.g., 1 or 2 years) and what it covers.
