Two robots.
One difference.

Both robots have identical cleaning hardware: 8,500+ gph four-motor flow, full floor/wall/waterline coverage, active scrubbing brushes front and rear, the same Clear app, and the C9 microprocessor.

The only difference: Clear UV adds a built-in UV-C lamp inside the robot body. As the pump cycles water through the cleaner, water passes the lamp and gets disinfected on contact — no chemicals added by the robot, no separate equipment.

Pick Clear UV if you want UV-C sanitation done by the robot — especially in pollen season, shaded pools, or pools that see a lot of guests. Pick Clear S if you already run UV/ozone at the pump, or if you want the same cleaning power for $250 less.

Both Clear UV and Clear S are engineered for everyday in-ground residential pools up to 50 ft long. The 59-ft anti-tangle cable reaches every corner of a typical pool.

Clear cleans gunite, tile, vinyl, fiberglass, and pebble surfaces. The wall-climb logic handles most slopes and curves. Above-ground pools and unusually shaped commercial pools aren't a great fit — if your pool is unusual in any way, contact us with details and we'll tell you straight.

A typical residential pool runs a full cycle in about 2 hours. The quad-motor flow rate (8,500+ gal/hr) means a typical pool is filtered multiple times during a single cycle.

The Clear app's weekly timer lets you schedule cleanings (we recommend 2–3 times per week for most owners; daily during heavy debris periods like pollen season or after a storm).

No — Clear UV's in-robot ultraviolet light works alongside your normal chlorine or saltwater system, not instead of it. Most owners find they can reduce chlorine use noticeably once the UV-C lamp is running consistently, but Clear UV is a sanitation enhancement, not a chemical-free guarantee.

Keep your water balance dialed in. Clear UV does the rest in the water — quietly and continuously.

Every Clear robot ships with a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects on the robot, control box, cable, and the UV module (Clear UV). Replacement parts like brushes and filter cartridges are wear items.

Warranty service is handled directly by Clear's U.S.-based owner support team — no third-party return depot, no waiting weeks for a callback.

Free shipping within the continental U.S. on every Clear robot. For preorders, your card is authorized at order and charged when the robot ships — cancel anytime before shipment.

If your Clear isn't right for your pool, you have 30 days from delivery to send it back for a full refund.

No plumbing changes — Clear is a self-contained robotic cleaner with its own quad-motor filtration. It does not connect to your pump or skimmer.

You will need a standard GFCI-protected outlet near the pool deck (within the 59-ft cable reach of where you'd typically place the control box, which should sit at least 10 ft from the water on dry ground). That's it.

Day-to-day, two small habits keep Clear performing at its best:

• Rinse the UltraBin after each cleaning cycle — lift it out, empty, rinse, return.
• Rinse the UltraFilter when flow noticeably drops (usually every 1–3 cycles).

Plan to replace filter cartridges every 3–6 months depending on debris load, and brushes about once a year for heavy users. The full owner manual on our support hub covers seasonal storage too.

No. Every Clear robot will run a full cleaning cycle from the control box on its own — drop it in, press Start.

The app is where Clear becomes effortless: schedule cleanings, manually drive the robot with the on-screen joystick, check water temperature, and see cycle status from anywhere. It's free for iOS and Android.
