Description
The WYBOT F1 is a cordless robotic skimmer that cruises independently across the surface of your pool. While navigating, it collects leaves, insects, hair, pollen, and other floating debris before it can sink to the bottom. This reduces the need for frequent manual skimming and lessens the load on your pool's primary skimmer and filtration system.
The robot is equipped with a solar panel boasting a rated output of 33 watts. When used in an outdoor pool, the battery can be recharged by sunlight. According to the manufacturer, a fully depleted battery requires approximately six hours of sunlight under ideal conditions to charge via the solar panel. For pools with limited direct sunlight or for indoor use, a separately sold power adapter is available. This adapter is not included as standard.
Two cleaning programs
The WYBOT F1 features two programs:
-
Smart Mode: the robot operates for up to 24 hours, following a cycle of ten minutes of cleaning followed by ten minutes of resting. This mode is designed to keep the water surface clean regularly throughout the day.
-
Standard Mode: the robot cleans continuously for up to eight hours. This program is suitable when large amounts of leaves or other debris need to be removed from the pool in a short time.
Actual runtime depends on battery charge, sunlight intensity, water temperature, and the resistance the robot encounters while moving.
Automatic navigation and edge cleaning
The robot moves independently across the water using a planned V-shaped route. Sensors help it detect obstacles and change direction, allowing it to maneuver around ladders, walls, and other objects.
With EdgeMaster edge cleaning, the F1 automatically finds the pool edge to collect accumulated surface debris there as well. An anti-stuck feature helps prevent the robot from beaching in shallow areas.
Suitability around ladders, cables, pool toys, and very narrow sections depends on your pool's layout. It is therefore best to remove loose objects from the water before the robot begins.
7-liter collection basket
Floating debris is captured in a removable basket with a capacity of 7 liters. Due to the large capacity, the basket needs to be emptied less frequently under normal conditions. The filter has a mesh size of 180 microns and is suitable for leaves, insects, hair, and smaller particles.
The F1 does not replace standard pool filtration and water treatment. Very fine dust, algae, and dissolved contaminants are not fully removed. A circulation pump, pool filter, and proper water treatment remain necessary for clear and healthy water.
No backflow of debris
The design helps prevent captured debris from flowing back out of the robot while turning or stopping. After use, the F1 can be brought to the pool edge using the included hook. You can then remove the filter basket from the device to empty it into a bin and rinse it with clean water.
Operation via the WYBOT app
The robot can be connected to the WYBOT app via Bluetooth. In the app, you can:
-
Choose between Smart or Standard mode
-
Check operating status
-
Control the robot manually
-
Navigate directly to local debris
-
Install available software updates
Manual control is especially useful when debris has gathered in one spot or when you want to steer the robot to the pool edge. Because the connection is via Bluetooth, your phone must be within range of the robot.
Suitable for various pools
The WYBOT F1 can be used in both inground and above-ground pools of various shapes. The device operates exclusively on the water surface. It does not clean the pool floor, walls, stairs, or waterline. A separate floor cleaner or manual pool vacuum is required for those tasks.
According to the manufacturer, the housing is resistant to UV radiation, high temperatures, rain, and normally chlorinated pool water. The robot has an IPX8 rating, meaning it is designed for use in water. This does not mean the charging port should be connected while wet. Let the connection dry completely before using an optional power adapter.
