David Daniel Malan

“We used Pool Action to re marbelite our swimming pool and put in solar panels. We have a very large pool and the marbelite had areas that was badly pitted. Quintin along with each and every member of his team were absolutely outstanding. They were friendly, reliable and extremely professional. I will absolutely recommend Pool Action to anyone without a doubt. What a great experience. Thank you, team.”

Belinda Bennett

“Thanks Pool Action – Pool Xpert. My family is enjoying the pool now more than ever. Fitment of a Heater pump and pool leak sorted. My kids are absolutely filled with enjoyment and hours pass with them spending time in the pool and most of all having fun again. Thanks for the Professional service team.”

Reinhardt Fourie

“Good selection of stock, mainly irrigation and water purification. Always willing to order items not in stock.
I am very impressed with how helpful and professional the owner and staff are. I took a faulty pressure pump to them today. They tested the pump and identified the problem. They could just have sold me the part but fitted the part to the pump and then tested it to make sure it was working properly. This was done to a high standard. I highly recommend this business.”

Frequently asked questions about robotic pool cleaners in South Africa

If a robotic pool cleaner isn’t right for your pool type or budget, suction pool cleaners are a reliable and affordable alternative. Suction cleaners connect to your pool’s skimmer or a dedicated suction line and rely on your pump’s existing power to move around the pool, collecting dirt and debris through your filtration system as they go.

They’re well suited to residential pools with light to moderate dirt, gentle on most pool surfaces, and simple to set up and maintain. Suction cleaners won’t offer the wifi connectivity, app control, or built-in intelligence of a robotic model, but they remain a solid, budget-friendly way to keep your pool water clean.

Pool Xpert stocks a range of suction pool cleaners alongside our robotic range. Contact us to find the right cleaner for your pool and budget.

Robotic pool cleaners operate independently, using their own motor, filter, and built-in intelligence to navigate your pool. They don’t rely on your pump or filtration system, which means better cleaning performance and energy efficiency, with less strain on your existing pool equipment. Many models can climb walls, handle waterline cleaning, and manoeuvre around irregularly shaped pools and tight corners with maximum precision.

Suction pool cleaners, by contrast, connect to your filtration system and use your pump’s power supply to move around the pool. They’re generally more affordable to buy, though less thorough on walls, steps, and the waterline.

Pool Xpert stocks a full range of pool cleaners, from robotic and suction to pressure-side models, suited to every pool type and budget. Explore our range online or contact our team for advice.

Robotic pool cleaners are designed to work straight out of the box, but a few accessories can extend your unit’s lifespan and keep its cleaning performance at its best. A caddy makes it easier to lift, carry, and store your cleaner after each swim, while spare filters and brushes help it keep collecting dirt and debris efficiently, week after week.

If your cleaner uses a floating power supply cable, a swivel or cable float can also help it move more freely around the pool without tangling or getting stuck in corners.

Pool Xpert stocks a range of robotic pool cleaner accessories and spares to help you get the most out of your unit. Browse our accessories range or contact us for help finding the right parts for your model.

Regular maintenance keeps your robotic pool cleaner performing at its best and extends its lifespan. Rinse the filter after each use, check brushes and drive belts for wear, and store your cleaner out of direct sunlight when it’s not in use.

For a full step-by-step guide, see how to maintain your pool cleaner. Contact Pool Xpert if you need help sourcing spares or servicing your unit.

A few common issues are usually behind reduced cleaning performance. A dirty or clogged filter is one of the most frequent culprits: rinse it regularly to keep it working properly, especially after your pool has picked up a large volume of leaves or algae.

Cleaners can also get stuck on steps, ladders, or in corners, or may only run on the floor or only on the walls if the settings, cables, or drive belts need attention.

For more detailed troubleshooting, see our guides on why your pool cleaner won’t lie flat against the surface of the pool, why your pool cleaner only runs on the floor, and why your pool cleaner only runs on the wall.

Still stuck? Our nationwide team is on hand to help. Contact us or find your nearest Pool Xpert for hands-on advice.

Robotic pool cleaners in South Africa typically cost around R8,000 to R25,000 for most residential models, with premium and commercial models costing more.

The final price depends on the cleaner’s brand, pool size coverage, corded or cordless design, app control, cleaning functions, filtration system, cable length, warranty, and whether it cleans only the floor or also the walls and waterline.

For the best fit, find your nearest PoolXpert for a recommendation based on your pool size, surface, debris levels, and cleaning routine.
