IppoInternational Caratti has launched the latest model in what it says is the only range of Italian-made automatic pool cleaners. Called Ippo, the new model combines the features of all models in the Squirrel range into a single product.

 

Recommended for cleaning the bottom and walls of pools up to 20 x 10 metres in size, it features an antilock system that engages when the cleaner runs into an obstacle, causing the cleaner to change direction. It also offers a non-skid system that prevents the cleaner from operating continuously in the same place if it loses traction – if it does not succeed after the second attempt, it will automatically shut off.

 

A vertical wall recognition system allows the cleaning time for walls to be regulated, or for them to be excluded from the cleaning process.Other features include remote control, the ability to manually direct the cleaner to any part of the pool as required, a beach sensor for use in pools by beaches, and a 20m floatless cable that is said to be lighter and easier to rewind.
