With smart cleaning power and integrated versatility, the AquaBug will be your pool’s new best friend!

Additionally, this small-but-powerful cleaner operates off the pool’s existing filtration system and feature our exclusive SmartDrive® program steering so it won’t miss a spot.
Features and Benefits
- Patented SmartDrive programmed steering system ensures the entire bottom of the pool is cleaned quickly and completely
- Installs in less than 10 minutes, without tools
- Unique turbine/gearing system provides constant balanced water flow assuring quiet operation and gentle movement across the pool bottom
- Improves water circulation by pulling water from the pool bottom as it moves
- Advanced, contoured head design allows the steering pattern to be completed in minimal time
- Deluxe bumper ring minimizes friction for easy movement away from walls and resumption of the programmed steering pattern
