Upgrade Your Pool with Smart Accessories: From Robotic Cleaners to Floating Sunglasses
New pool technologies, including robotic skimmers, smart water monitors, and safety alarms, can save pool owners time and enhance their summer experience.
Robots and Smart Helpers for Pool Maintenance
Modern pool tech has come a long way. The Beatbot iSkim Ultra is a solar-powered robotic skimmer that collects leaves and bugs from the water surface automatically. For deeper cleaning, the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra offers six hours of battery life, AI-powered debris detection, and floats when done. A more affordable option is the Beatbot Sora 30, which provides excellent performance and battery life with fewer smart features.
Water Quality Monitoring
To prevent algae and maintain chemical balance, the Iopool Eco Start is a floating monitor that measures pH, temperature, and ORP (free chlorine indicator) every 15 minutes and sends data to your phone. It requires no maintenance, no replaceable parts, and lasts two swimming seasons.
Safety and Surveillance
For families with children or pets, the Lifebuoy Bcone pool alarm detects disturbances in the water and distinguishes between a fall and wind ripples. It sounds a siren and sends alerts via a Wi-Fi bridge. An outdoor security camera like the Arlo Pro 6 can also help monitor pool safety and condition remotely.
Relaxation and Entertainment
The Funboy Vintage Stripe Floating Cabana Bar includes a removable canopy, cup holders, and enough space for a six-pack. The JBL Flip 7 Bluetooth speaker is IP68 waterproof and can survive submersion in up to 5 feet of water for 30 minutes. For water fights, the SpyraFour electric water gun automatically refills and features modes like Ultra Rapid Fire.
Comfort and Style
Cozy Earth’s Seaside Resort Towel is thick, plush, and made from 100% cotton, ideal for lounging. The Ninja Slushi machine makes frozen drinks like margaritas and can adjust temperatures for different consistencies. Goodr Tidal G sunglasses float, so they won't sink if dropped in the water.
