The iGarden K Series is a battery-powered (cordless) robotic pool cleaner designed to automatically clean your pool floor (and in some models, walls/waterline depending on the unit). It navigates the pool and collects dirt, sand, leaves, and debris into an internal filter basket—no external pump connection required.

K Series cordless robots suit in-ground and above-ground pools with common shapes (rectangle, kidney, freeform). The best fit depends on:

• Pool size/length
  
• Surface type (vinyl, fiberglass, concrete/plaster)
  
• Cleaning needs (fine dust vs. leaves, floor-only vs. wall climbing)
  

The iGarden K Series Cordless pool robots have several cleaning modes, including floor only, floor and walls, walls and tile line

Battery runtime varies by model and cleaning mode, but most cordless robots typically run long enough for a full cycle in average residential pools. For best results:

• Fully charge before each run
  
• Clean the filter basket after each cycle
  
• Use the correct mode (eco/standard/deep clean if available)
  

Charge time depends on the model and battery size. As a general rule, cordless pool robots charge in a few hours. Always use the supplied charger and follow your model’s manual.

No. The iGarden K Series is self-contained. It uses its own motor and internal filtration basket. Your pool pump can remain off during robot cleaning (unless your pool’s circulation needs are separate).

Yes—most will handle leaves and larger debris, but performance depends on:

• Intake design
• Basket capacity
• Filter type (fine vs. ultra-fine screens)
• If your pool gets lots of leaves, choose the K model with a larger basket and strong suction.

Fine debris pickup depends on the filter mesh rating and whether an ultra-fine filter is included or available. For dusty pools:

• Run more frequent cycles
  
• Brush problem areas first (optional but helpful)
  
• Use fine/ultra-fine filtration when available
  

Cordless robots are commonly used on vinyl liner pools, but it’s important to match the robot to your surface type. Look for:

• Rubber tracks/wheels
  
• Gentle brushes
  
• Manufacturer confirmation for vinyl compatibility on the specific model
  

Typically yes. K Series robots work well on fiberglass and tile, but wall climbing traction and waterline cleaning depend on the model and pool finish. If your pool is slippery, prioritise models known for strong traction.

• Fully charge the unit
  
• Place it in the water and let it sink
  
• Start the cycle (button/app if supported)
  
• Remove it after the cycle using the handle/hook
  
• Empty and rinse the filter basket
  
• Store out of direct sun when not in use
  

Use the handle and (if included) a retrieval hook. Let water drain for a few seconds before lifting to reduce weight. Avoid pulling it out by any flap, cord port, or non-handle parts.

Typical guidance:

• 2–3 times per week in normal conditions
  
• Daily during heavy leaf drop, storms, or peak swim season
  More frequent shorter cleans often keeps pools clearer than occasional long cleans.
  

Remove the basket, empty debris, and rinse with a hose. If you notice reduced suction:

• Rinse more thoroughly
  
• Check for clogged screens
  
• Inspect intake ports for blockages
  

Most upkeep is simple:

• Rinse filters after each run
  
• Check brushes/tracks periodically
  
• Keep charging contacts clean and dry
  
• Store indoors or shaded, especially in summer
  

Lifespan depends on usage, water chemistry, and maintenance. Consistent rinsing, correct storage, and balanced pool water help extend motor and battery life.
