Pool Cleaners
If you are spending more time cleaning your pool than swimming in it, the wrong cleaner is usually why. We see it constantly at our Burns Beach store. Someone walks in with a suction cleaner that gets stuck on the steps every second run, or a robotic unit that died after eighteen months because the surface chewed through its brushes. Perth pools cop fine calcium dust from bore water, salt spray from the Fremantle Doctor, and sand that lands in the water every afternoon. That combination means most pool cleaners on the market do not last here the way they do in Melbourne or Sydney.
Keeping your pool clean should not be time consuming, but the wrong cleaner makes it exactly that. Adrian Mole has been matching pool owners with the right cleaner since 2003, and we stock the largest range of robotic pool cleaners, suction cleaners and pressure pool cleaners from our shop near Iluka Plaza. Every unit is on display so you can see it before you spend a cent.

Why The Right Pool Cleaner Matters In Perth
Pool cleaners are not all built the same, and Perth conditions expose the difference fast. The Fremantle Doctor pushes sand, salt and other debris onto the pool surface every afternoon, which means your cleaner handles a heavier load than pools in sheltered suburbs. If your house runs bore water from the Wanneroo or Ellenbrook aquifer, fine calcium particles settle on the pool floor and walls between pump cycles. A cleaner without a superior filtration system pushes those particles around rather than trapping them, and you end up with cloudy water despite running it for hours. The features that matter in a swimming pool cleaner here are filtration quality and build durability.
We service pool owners from Joondalup down to Rockingham, and the number of machines we see abandoned in garages after one season is genuinely frustrating. Most of those failures come down to a mismatch, not a defect. Adrian checks your pool floor material and water source before recommending anything. The goal is a cleaner that keeps your pool spotless with minimal effort and lasts.
Robotic Pool Cleaners
Robotic pool cleaners are self contained units that run independently of your pump and filter. They carry their own motor, filter cartridge and navigation system, so they do not load your existing equipment. For most Perth pools, a robotic cleaner is the most efficient option because it handles the pool floor walls and waterline cleaning in a single cycle without you standing there.
Dolphin Robotic Pool Cleaner Range
The Dolphin E10 is a reliable entry point for smaller pools. It covers the floor and handles dirt and large debris without fuss. For pool owners who want full cleaning coverage including walls and the waterline, the Dolphin Liberty is worth a serious look. It runs on a cordless design with inductive charging, so there is no cable dragging across the pool or tangling around ladders. The Dolphin Liberty uses a gyroscopic navigation system and built in intelligence to map your pool and clean methodically rather than bouncing off walls at random. Wi fi connectivity lets you schedule and control cycles from your phone, giving you the convenience of setting it and walking away.
Zac, one of our Burns Beach regulars, came in for a demo of the Robo-Tek Plus and bought it on the spot. What he did not expect was Adrian noticing his newly installed pump had a suction leak that two other companies had missed entirely. Adrian diagnosed it and sorted it during the same visit. That kind of thing does not show up on a spec sheet, but it is the difference between a pool shop that sells boxes and one that actually knows what is going on under the coping.
AstralPool Robotic Cleaners
The AstralPool S10 is a new generation robotic cleaner with smart navigation technology that maps the pool and calculates the most efficient cleaning path. It scrubs the floor and walls and uses optimised water filtration to trap fine particles from bore water. The easy removal filter cartridge keeps maintenance simple. For commercial pools or larger residential setups, the S10 handles the extra surface area without losing suction or run time.
Suction Pool Cleaners
Suction cleaners connect to your skimmer box or a dedicated suction line and use your pool pump to move around and collect debris. They are an economical solution for pool owners who want automatic pool cleaning without the upfront cost of a robotic unit. The trade off is they add load to your pump and filter, and they rely on your filtration system rather than carrying their own. For a simple rectangular pool in Duncraig that only catches leaf litter, a suction cleaner does the job. For a freeform pebblecrete pool in Scarborough copping salt air and sand, you will probably outgrow one inside a year.
Zodiac Suction Cleaners
The Zodiac T3 is a disc style suction cleaner that handles most pool shapes and surfaces. It rarely gets stuck on steps or corners, which is a common complaint with cheaper suction cleaners. The Zodiac MX6 suits pools with mixed surfaces or uneven floors. It uses a turbine drive system rather than diaphragm, so it handles ground level obstacles and maintains consistent movement across textured finishes. Both models remove dirt and debris from the pool floor and are simple to maintain.
Pressure Pool Cleaners
Pressure pool cleaners connect to a dedicated pressure line or your pool’s return jet and use water pressure to sweep debris into an onboard collection bag. They suit pools that deal with heavy leaf fall because the bag catches everything before it reaches your filter, saving your filter media from excess load.
Pentair And Polaris Pressure Cleaners
The Pentair Rebel 2 works without a booster pump, which cuts energy costs and keeps installation simple. It handles floors and walls and adjusts to different surfaces automatically. The Polaris 280 scrubs floors, walls and steps using three jet nozzles and a sweep hose that pushes debris toward the main drain. The Polaris 3900S delivers stronger suction and a larger collection bag across the entire pool, suitable for bigger pools or properties with heavy tree coverage.
Choosing The Right Pool Cleaner For Your Pool
The right cleaner depends on your pool size, surface type, debris load and how much time you want to spend on pool maintenance. There is no single answer, and anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to shift stock.
If your priority is spending less time cleaning and more time enjoying the water with family and friends, a dolphin robotic pool cleaner or the AstralPool S10 does the hard work while you are not even home. Cordless robotic models like the Dolphin Liberty add extra convenience with no cable hassle.
If you want a reliable automatic cleaner at a lower price point, a suction cleaner like the Zodiac T3 or MX6 covers the floor effectively and is suitable for most residential pools.
If your pool sits near the coast where the Fremantle Doctor dumps sand and leaf matter daily, a pressure cleaner keeps that large debris out of your filter entirely, which means your filtration system lasts longer and your pump runs more efficiently.
Adrian will walk you through every option in store. No guesswork, no overselling.
