Zodiac FreeRider FR500
Cordless cleaning freedom. The FR500 iQ operates without cables, making setup, storage, and everyday cleaning far more convenient while eliminating tangled cords around the pool.
Complete floor-to-waterline cleaning. Designed for full residential pool coverage, the FR500 iQ cleans floors, walls, and the waterline for a cleaner swimming environment with less manual effort.
Strong cyclonic suction performance. Zodiac’s patented cyclonic suction system helps maintain strong debris collection by keeping particles suspended inside the filter canister during operation.
Fine filtration for everyday debris. The 100μ filter canister captures both fine dirt and larger debris while the transparent lid allows users to quickly check debris levels.
Smart app connectivity. App control allows users to monitor battery status, charging progress, and receive notifications when the cleaning cycle is complete.
Easy Tap & Lift™ retrieval. Once cleaning is finished, simply tap the cleaner with a pool pole and the robot climbs the wall for lightweight removal from the pool.
