Residential pool design trends and robotic cleaning technology

Residential pool trends emphasize integrating swimming pools as visual focal points within the home. Designing pools to be visible from living or kitchen areas can enhance property value, improve indoor-outdoor connectivity, and increase safety by allowing for easier supervision of swimmers.

In terms of pool maintenance technology, the Beatbot Sora 70 is a robotic cleaner designed to handle surfaces, walls, and floors. Priced at $1,499, the device uses AI-powered ultrasonic sensors to navigate various pool shapes and materials. While the Sora 70 offers comprehensive cleaning, the Dreame Z1 Pro is noted for having higher suction power at a similar price point.
