No app. No gimmicks. Just 11,000 mAh power and 200 minutes of runtime.

They're fed up with marketing promises that don't deliver. Fed up with apps that crash. Fed up with "smart" features they never use. Fed up with battery-powered robots that give up the ghost after 90 minutes.

They want something that simply works.

The Flotide XR3 is the answer for pragmatic people who understand: A pool robot doesn't have to be "smart". It has to be reliable .

No app. No Wi-Fi. No Bluetooth.

This is not the "iPhone of pool robots".

This is the Nokia 3310 – indestructible, reliable, without any frills.

While other brands boast great marketing and then fail to deliver, the Flotide XR3 does one thing: it cleans. For 200 minutes. Reliably. Every day.

Saturday morning, 10:00 a.m. Coffee instead of a net. Switch to "Standard," robot in the water, done. No app. No complexity. Just clean water.


The 5 most important advantages at a glance:

  • 11,000 mAh mega battery for 200 minutes of runtime : 50% more capacity than many competitors (which often only have 7,000-8,000 mAh) – cleans pools up to 100 m³ completely in one pass, even large pools (10 x 7m)
  • No app, no complexity : Simple selector switch on the device (Standard/Floor only/Wall only) – no Wi-Fi setup, no app crashes, no firmware updates, always works.
  • Automatic parking at the poolside : After cleaning, it automatically returns to the poolside – easy to lift out, no searching in the pool, no hook fishing.
  • Optional: 50 μm fine filter (from 2026) : Standard 180 μm filters leaves/sand/dust, optional 50 μm also filters the finest particles/algae spores – two-stage filtration for crystal-clear water
  • Price-performance champion : Significantly cheaper than Zodiac/Dolphin premium models (approx. €600-800 savings) – but with more battery capacity and runtime, the pragmatic sweet spot.


Who is this battery-powered pool robot ideally suited for?

Reality check : The Flotide XR3 is for people who aren't interested in marketing promises, but want something that simply works – without drama, without an app, without any frills.

✓ Pragmatic optimizers looking for the "hidden champion"
They read comparison tests. They question marketing. They realize: Many expensive brands (Aiper, some Dolphin models) have great marketing – but the reality is disappointing (short battery life, app problems, poor support). The Flotide XR3 is the opposite: No marketing hype, but solid technology. 11,000 mAh, 200 minutes runtime, proven for 4 years.

✓ People who experience "app fatigue"
Tired of apps that require Wi-Fi, crash, need updates, or don't work underwater? The Flotide XR3 has no app. That's not a drawback—it's a feature. Switch to "Standard," put it in the water, and you're done. No setup. No troubleshooting. It just works.

✓ Owners of large pools (80-100 m³)
Your pool is 10 x 7m or 12 x 6m (80-100 m³). Many battery-powered robotic pool cleaners can manage 50-70 m² (with luck). The Flotide XR3 can handle 100 m³ – thanks to its 11,000 mAh battery and 200-minute runtime. It's not a case of "it might manage it," but rather "it will definitely manage it."

✓ People looking for the best value for money (not cheap, but clever)
You don't want the cheapest option (a no-name brand from China, €400, questionable quality). But you also don't want to pay €1,500 for a Zodiac RF 5600 iQ (with a remote control you'll never use). The Flotide XR3 is the sweet spot: around €800-1,000, proven technology, and a longer battery life than more expensive models. That's smart shopping.

✓ Environmentally conscious users who appreciate replaceable batteries
The battery is replaceable (EU directive). After 3-5 years, buy a new battery (approx. €150-250) instead of a new robot (€800+). That's sustainability.

Product description: When pragmatism meets power

The concept: Maximum runtime, minimum complexity

The Flotide XR3 follows a clear philosophy that goes against the grain: While other manufacturers invest millions in marketing campaigns, influencer collaborations and app development, Flotide invests in what really matters – an 11,000 mAh battery that lasts for 200 minutes.

This isn't the most glamorous strategy. No TikTok stars gliding through crystal-clear pools. No elaborate 3D animations of "revolutionary navigation." Just a simple fact: More battery life = Fewer problems.

Many battery-powered robotic pool cleaners have a 7,000-8,000 mAh battery. That's sufficient for small pools (6 x 4m) if you're only cleaning the bottom. But what about a 10 x 7m pool? That's where it gets tight. The robot might clean the bottom and walls, but the waterline will remain dirty. Or it might give up after 90 minutes, stuck in the middle of the pool, only half-finished.

The Flotide XR3 has an 11,000 mAh battery. That's 50% more than average. This doesn't just mean longer runtime – it means peace of mind . Peace of mind that your 10 x 7m pool will be completely cleaned. Peace of mind that even after 3 years (when the battery will naturally weaken), there will still be enough power. Peace of mind that you won't have to recharge twice a week.

200 minutes of runtime – that's over 3 hours. In that time, the XR3 cleans the floor, walls, AND waterline of pools up to 100 m³. No "maybe it will do it," but "it definitely will."

And the controls? No Wi-Fi setup. No app that needs updates. No Bluetooth pairing. Just a simple three-position selector switch on the device :

Position 1 – Standard: Floor + walls + waterline (200 min). Your weekly complete cleaning.
Position 2 – Floor only: Quick interim cleaning after a storm with many leaves (approx. 90 min).
Position 3 – Wall only: Targeted wall/waterline cleaning after a pool party (approx. 90 min).

Flip a switch. Throw the robot into the water. Done. No complexity. Just function.

11,000 mAh lithium-ion battery – Long-distance power

When you compare battery-powered pool robots, you will notice one thing: the marketing champions often have the weakest batteries.

The Aiper Seagull SE – the Instagram star with the beautiful product photos – has a 5,000 mAh battery. That's 120% less than the Flotide XR3. Its runtime? 90 minutes. And that's only for ground use, because the Seagull SE can't climb walls.

The Aiper Scuba S1 – the "upgrade" – has a 9,000 mAh battery. Sounds better. And it is. But the XR3 still has 22% more battery capacity. And it doesn't cost any more.

The Wybot C1 – another marketing darling – has a 7,800 mAh battery. That's 41% less than the XR3.

Even Zodiac , the premium brand, equips its RF 5400 and RF 5600 iQ models with "only" 10,000 mAh. The XR3 has 10% more – and costs €400-800 less.

The table of truth:

  • Aiper Seagull SE: 5,000 mAh, 90 min runtime, floor only
  • Aiper Scuba S1: 9,000 mAh, 120 min runtime, floor + walls
  • Wybot C1: 7,800 mAh, 110 min runtime, floor + walls
  • Zodiac RF 5400/5600 iQ: 10,000 mAh, 150 min runtime, floor + walls + waterline
  • Flotide XR3: 11,000 mAh, 200 min runtime, floor + walls + waterline

Why is this important? Because with a pool robot, you shouldn't be paying for the marketing. You're paying for battery capacity. For runtime. For the peace of mind that your pool will actually get clean.

Aiper invests in influencers. Beatbot invests in 3D animations. Wybot invests in social media campaigns. Flotide invests in an 11,000 mAh battery. You decide what you want to spend your money on.

For large pools (80-100 m³) , ​​200 minutes of runtime isn't a luxury – it's a necessity. The Aiper Seagull SE would give up on a 10 x 7m pool. The Wybot C1 would just about manage. The Flotide XR3 cleans at a leisurely pace, without relying on the last drop of battery power.

For standard pools (50-70 m³), ​​the 200-minute runtime provides ample buffer . Even if the battery capacity drops to 80% after 3 years (as is normal for all lithium-ion batteries), you still have 160 minutes of runtime. That's more than enough. For robots with a 90-120 minute runtime, it will be tight after 3 years.

Charging time: 4 hours. Charge overnight, clean during the day. That fits into any routine.

Replaceable: Yes, according to EU directives. After 3-5 years, you can buy a new battery (estimated at €150-250) instead of a new robot (€800+). That's sustainability – and cost-effectiveness.

Caterpillar drive – Climbs walls, works everywhere

The Flotide XR3 has two motors : one for the track drive and one for the suction pump. That sounds like fewer than the three motors of some premium models (which have separate motors for each track). But in practice, it makes no difference – the XR3 climbs walls just as reliably as the Zodiac models.

The rubber-coated tracks grip all surfaces: foil, tiles, concrete, acrylic, fiberglass. They can handle inclines of up to 90° – that's almost vertical. Most pool walls have an angle of 80-85° – no problem for the XR3.

Movement speed: 11 m/min. That's faster than many competitors (which often only manage 8-9 m/min). Faster movement means: more area covered in less time. Efficiency through speed plus long operating time.

Optimized algorithms – intelligent route finding without an app

Here's the interesting part: The Flotide XR3 doesn't have an app – but it's still "smart". How is that possible?

Complete coverage: The robot doesn't move randomly (like cheaper models), but follows an optimized pattern. Similar to how a robotic lawnmower makes its rounds, the XR3 works systematically. This ensures that every spot is reached. No more "it drove past the same spot three times, but missed the back left corner."

Intelligent obstacle avoidance: Pool ladder in the way? Standing edge? Tight corner? The XR3 detects this – not through cameras or AI, but through sensors – and changes its route. Instead of getting stuck and waiting for you to free it, it finds another way.

That's "smart" – without the complexity of apps. No Wi-Fi connection needed. No firmware updates. No "the app crashed, now I can't start the robot" moments. The intelligence is built in, offline, and reliable.

Automatic parking – Comes to the poolside

After every cleaning cycle – whether 200 minutes in standard mode or 90 minutes in floor-only mode – the Flotide XR3 does something that many more expensive robots can't: it automatically drives to the edge of the pool.

You don't have to:

  • Fishing around in the pool with the retrieval hook
  • Activate a "lift function" via app (as with Zodiac RF 5400/5600)
  • Get the robot out of the middle of the pool

Instead: The robot waits at the edge of the pool. You grab the retrieval hook (included), hook it in, and lift it out. It takes 2 seconds.

That's convenience – no app required. No Wi-Fi setup. No complexity. The robot simply knows what's expected of it.

Two-stage filtration – standard good, optional perfect

The Flotide XR3 comes standard with a 180 μm filter . This is a coarse filter that filters:

Leaves, twigs, sand (coarse and medium), dust, pollen, insects – everything that accumulates in a normal pool. Filter basket capacity: 4 liters. This is large enough that you don't have to empty it after every cleaning (unless your pool had an extremely large amount of leaves after a storm).

Filter flow rate: Up to 320 L/min. That's very high. For comparison: Many robots only manage 200-250 L/min. Higher flow rate means faster cleaning – the robot sucks up more water (and therefore more dirt) in less time.

However, 180 μm is not sufficient for some pool owners. This is the case if you have very fine sand in your pool (e.g., after storms when Saharan dust was in the air), if you frequently experience algal blooms (algal spores are often <100 μm), or if you want crystal-clear water – absolutely no cloudiness, not even the tiniest suspended particle.

An optional 50 μm fine filter will be available from 2026. You can combine both filters:

Two-stage filtration: First comes the 180 μm coarse filter (captures leaves, twigs, coarse sand). Then comes the 50 μm fine filter (captures fine sand, dust, algae spores).

Why is a two-stage filter better than just a fine filter? Because a 50 μm filter alone would clog quickly. Large leaves would immediately block the fine mesh. The coarse filter traps the larger particles – the fine filter only takes care of the fine ones. More efficient. Longer lifespan.

Who needs a fine filter? Perfectionists. People in dusty regions. Pools with algae problems. People who take "crystal clear" literally.

Who will benefit from the standard filter? Everyone else. Normal dirt (leaves, sand, pollen) is filtered without any problems.

The beauty of it: You decide. Standard is sufficient → you save money. Standard isn't sufficient → you retrofit the fine filter. Flexibility without obligation.

TPE brush roller – Robust and durable

The Flotide XR3 uses a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) brush roller . This isn't the most glamorous solution – Zodiac advertises "helix brushes" that look like DNA strands and clean very thoroughly.

However, TPE has advantages that count in practice.

TPE is more robust. If the brush hits an edge, touches a ladder, or runs over a standing edge – TPE can withstand it. Helix brushes can bend, and individual bristles can break off.

TPE is more durable. Thermoplastic elastomer wears out more slowly than many other brush materials. After 3 years of use, the TPE brush still looks good.

TPE is cheaper to replace. If the brush actually needs replacing after 5-7 years (which is a long time with normal use), a new TPE roller costs significantly less than helix brushes.

The downside? TPE is slightly less thorough when it comes to stubborn deposits . For example, if you have limescale that's been building up for months, or if algae have been allowed to grow so long that they've formed a green carpet on the wall, then helix brushes (like those from Zodiac) are more effective – they "scrub" more.

But let's be honest: If you clean weekly (like most pool owners), there won't be any stubborn deposits. Leaves, sand, dust, fresh algae – the TPE roller removes it all without any problems.

Who is TPE suitable for? People with normal levels of soiling. People who clean regularly. People who value durability.

Who is Helix better for? People with stubborn limescale problems. Pools that are rarely cleaned (holiday homes). Perfectionists who want the most thorough cleaning.

No Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth, no app – that's a feature

Opinions differ on this. Some say: "No app? That's like a mobile phone without a touchscreen!" Others say: "Finally – a pool robot that simply works."

The truth about apps for pool robots:

Apps sound good. Remote start from the office. Real-time battery status. Push notifications when cleaning is complete. Firmware updates for new features.

But in practice:

Setting up Wi-Fi is complicated. The robot needs to log into the home network. Sometimes this doesn't work (wrong password, insufficient Wi-Fi range, router settings blocking the connection). You spend 30 minutes troubleshooting.

Wi-Fi doesn't work underwater. If the robot is lying on the pool floor after cleaning, you can't restart it via the app. You first have to take it out, bring it to the surface, wait for the Wi-Fi connection to be established – then you can start it via the app. What's the advantage of that compared to "taking the robot out, flipping a switch, and throwing it back in"?

Apps crash, have bugs, need updates. You want to clean the pool. You open the app. "Update available – please install now." Ten minutes of updating. Then: "Connection to the robot failed." Try again. Still doesn't work. You're frustrated.

If the app isn't working, you can't control the robot (on some models). The robot has become "smart"—but dependent on an app that's currently malfunctioning.

The Flotide XR3 doesn't have an app. This means:

No Wi-Fi setup required. Just turn it on and you're done.
It always works. No app crashes, no server problems.
No updates needed. No firmware, no security vulnerabilities, no "please update now".
Works offline. No internet connection required.
It will still work in 10 years. When the competition's apps are no longer supported (because the manufacturer went bankrupt or the model was discontinued), the XR3 will still be flipping its switch.

This isn't "old-fashioned." This is reliable. This is the Nokia 3310 philosophy: Do what it's supposed to. Every time. No drama.

Simple selector switch on the device – Three modes

The robot has a mechanical selector switch . No touchscreen. No digital display. Just a rotary switch with three detents that you can feel and hear. Click. Click. Click.

Position 1 – Standard Mode: Floor + Walls + Waterline. 200 minutes runtime. Your weekly complete cleaning. The robot works systematically: First, it cleans the floor in strips, then climbs the walls, then cleans the waterline. At the end: Parks at the edge of the pool.

Option 2 – Floor Only: Quick interim cleaning. Approx. 90 minutes. For situations such as: After a storm, there are many leaves on the floor. The walls are still clean from last week. You just want the floor cleaned quickly.

Position 3 – Wall Only: Targeted wall/waterline cleaning. Approx. 90 minutes. For situations such as: After a pool party with 15 bathers, grease and sunscreen have accumulated at the waterline. The floor is still OK (was cleaned 2 days ago). You want to clean the waterline specifically.

Instructions: Turn the switch to the desired mode. Throw the robot into the water. Done.

No menu navigation. No "first open the app, then select a mode, then press start, then wait for a connection." Instead: Turn the switch. Click. Done.

That's the beauty of simplicity. Your 65-year-old mother could operate the robot. Your 12-year-old son could operate it. You yourself can operate it – even if you don't feel like finding your smartphone, opening the app, and entering your password.

Suitable for chlorine and saltwater pools

Many inexpensive pool robots are only certified for chlorinated water. Why? Because salt water (in salt electrolysis systems) is more aggressive. Salt can damage electronics, corrode metal parts, and cause seals to wear out faster.

The Flotide XR3 is explicitly designed for both water types:
Chlorine pools – no problem.
Saltwater pools – no problem.

If you have a salt electrolysis system (e.g., Bayrol Automatic Salt AS5 or Automatic Chlor pH), the Flotide XR3 is compatible. The electronics are protected, the motors are sealed, and the materials are saltwater resistant.

That sounds obvious – but it isn't. With cheaper models, read the fine print: "Not suitable for saltwater" appears more often than you might think.

Maximum pool size 100 m³ – Larger than 95% of all private pools

100 m³ – that sounds abstract. In concrete terms, that means: a pool measuring 10m x 7m x 1.5m deep. Or 12m x 6m x 1.4m. Or 8m x 8m x 1.6m.

95% of all private pools in Germany are smaller. The average private pool is 6 x 4m or 8 x 4m. That's 36-48 m³. The Flotide XR3 is designed for more than twice that volume.

Why is this important? Because many manufacturers exaggerate their cleaning range. "Suitable for pools up to 60 m²" – sounds good. But in practice, that means: The robot can clean 60 m² of floor space . If you want to clean the walls and waterline, it might only manage 40 m². And if the battery weakens after two years, it might only be able to clean 30 m².

The Flotide XR3 claims 100 m³. And it means it. That's the area it can cover—floor, walls, and waterline— in 200 minutes. Not just the floor. Not "under ideal conditions." But real-world conditions, with the full program.

Compare this to the competition:
Aiper Seagull SE covers 40 m² (floor only) – 67% less than XR3.
Wybot C1 covers 50 m² – 33% less.
The Zodiac RF 5200 iQ covers 50 m² – 33% less.
The Zodiac RF 5400/5600 iQ covers 72 m² – almost on par (but €200-800 more expensive).

The Flotide XR3 is the hidden champion: Less marketing budget. More reach. Lower price.

Average power consumption 100W – Efficient

Power consumption: Average 100W, maximum 150W.

That sounds technical. But it means: The Flotide XR3 is energy-efficient. Despite its 11,000 mAh battery and 200-minute runtime, it doesn't consume any more power than the competition (which often draws an average of 120-150W).

For comparison: Cable-operated robots with external pumps often consume 200-300W. The XR3 is half as efficient – ​​because modern battery technology and optimized motors waste less energy.

Compact dimensions, light weight

41 x 40 x 25 cm (L x W x H) – the XR3 is more compact than many competitors.
7.5 kg empty weight – that's lighter than the Zodiac Freerider (9 kg).

In practical terms, this means: easier removal from the pool. Easier transport from the shed to the pool. Less effort required for filter cleaning.

And yet: The XR3 is robustly built. Lightweight doesn't mean fragile. The materials are high-quality, the construction is stable. Lightweight here means: intelligently designed.

This is the Flotide XR3: No marketing hype. No gimmicky apps. Just an 11,000 mAh battery, 200 minutes of runtime, automatic parking, and reliable performance. Pragmatism that works.

Why people choose the Flotide XR3

"I had an Aiper. Great marketing, but after 6 months: weak battery, app doesn't work. The Flotide XR3 has been running for 2 years without problems. No marketing hype, but it works."
– Mr. M., 51 years old, pool 10 x 5m

"200 minutes of runtime is invaluable. My pool is 10 x 7m – the Flotide cleans the floor, walls, and waterline in one pass. My old robot (120 min) only managed the floor and walls."
– Family K., large pool

"I didn't want an app. My smart home already annoys me enough with updates and crashes. The Flotide: turn the switch, put it in the water, done. That's technology that serves – not bothers."
– Mr. S., 55 years old, tired of IT

"Unbeatable value for money. €800 for 11,000 mAh, 200 minutes runtime, automatic parking. The Zodiac RF 5600 iQ costs €1,500 – for a remote control I would never use. The Flotide is a smart buy."
– Mr. T., 48 years old, pragmatist

"The 50 μm fine filter (from 2026) is perfect. The standard filter wasn't sufficient for me (fine sand remained in the pool). With the fine filter: crystal clear. Flexibility without constraint."
– Couple from Bavaria, demanding

Frequently Asked Questions – Honest Answers

Q: Is the Flotide XR3 sufficient for my 10 x 7m pool?
A: Yes, that's exactly the maximum size (100 m³). 200 minutes of runtime is easily enough for the floor, walls, and waterline.

Q: Is "no app" a disadvantage?
A: For some: Yes (no remote start from the office). For others: No (no app complexity, always works). Decide for yourself: Do you need remote start? If no → no app is an advantage (simplicity).

Q: How much worse is a TPE brush compared to a helix brush?
A: For normal soiling: hardly any difference. For stubborn deposits (limescale, stuck-on algae): Helix is ​​more thorough. If you clean weekly → TPE is perfectly sufficient.

Q: Do I need the 50 μm fine filter?
A: For normal dirt (leaves, sand, dust): No, 150 μm is sufficient. For extremely fine dirt (fine sand, algae spores): Yes, a fine filter makes sense. Test first with a standard filter – if not satisfied, upgrade to a fine filter.

Q: Is the Flotide XR3 really better than the Aiper?
A: Aiper has great marketing (beautiful videos, influencers). But customers report: short battery life, app problems, poor support. Flotide doesn't have the same marketing hype – but customers report: "Works flawlessly for 3 years." You decide: marketing or substance?

Q: Can I also start the robot manually (without a switch)?
A: No, you have to use the selector switch on the device. But it's simple: turn the switch, put it in the water, and you're done. No need to open an app or connect to Wi-Fi.

Questions and answers about the battery-powered pool robot Flotide XR3:

Questions about technology

The Flotide XR3 can run a full cleaning cycle with a fully charged battery, totaling over 3 hours/200 minutes.

Accordingly, the area is crucial when assessing the possible pool size, as the pool robot does not care about the length and width of the pool.

The charging time until fully charged is approximately 4 hours.

Charging is done by simply connecting it to the supplied power cable.

When the Flotide XR3's battery is empty, the pool robot moves to the bottom of the pool wall. The Flotide XR3 comes with a recovery hook, which can be used to pull the battery-powered pool robot out of the water.

The stated maximum battery life refers to ideal conditions. This means that any additional effort and obstacles the battery-powered pool robot must overcome will shorten the battery life.

The points that most often affect battery life
shorten, count:

  • Many particles in the water: A clogged or inefficient
    Filter increases resistance, which means the robot needs more energy.
  • Water quality not optimal, floor and walls are slippery
  • Friction and resistance: If the pool floor is rough or the slope of the walls is steep, the robot has to expend more energy.
  • Batteries work in extreme temperatures (very hot
    or very cold). Operating the robot in high outdoor temperatures or cold water may reduce runtime.

Yes, the Flotide XR3 battery-powered pool robot can be used in salt water, but you should rinse it with clean water (normal chlorinated water) afterwards to prevent corrosion.

Its salt resistance is 5,000 ppm, 5 g/l.

In principle, the Flotide XR3 can be used in a stainless steel pool. However, it is only recommended to a limited extent for two reasons.

First, the walls can become slippery if the water parameters aren't set correctly. This can be a problem for the Flotide XR3.

Secondly, small particles (small stones) can get stuck in the tracks, which then scratch the stainless steel.
