Inver X Warrior – A Pentair Pool And Pool Brain To Hassle-free Solution Technology Loved By Professionals Release Integration Initiative
When Ocea UK introduced the Inver X Warrior automatic pool cleaner to the UK market back in 2022, they knew they had something special. It quickly established itself as a go-to choice for professionals. Why? Because it’s robust, reliable, and the cleaner that many trade professionals actually love to use on their own pools. Ocea UK didn’t stop at the original 3-hour endurance model, though. They listened to what the market needed and quickly introduced 6 and 8-hour models. This changed the game, allowing for multiple pool cleans on a single charge without the constant hassle of plugging back in. The Inver X Warrior incorporates S-Path technology that ensures it cleans the whole pool every time, avoiding obstacles and cleverly knowing which areas have more dirt where it will apply full suction. This is patented technology that controls the robots path uses a 6 axis gyroscope to keep
it trundling along in straight lines and knowing when it’s on a slope or going vertically up a wall and with its cameras it maps the pool as it goes. This allows the robot to preserve as much battery life as possible resulting in the Inver X pool cleaner to be the only cordless pool cleaner on the market with up to 8hrs cleaning. But a great product is nothing without great back-up. Over the years, Ocea UK have heavily invested in their Pool Cleaner Service Centre in Witney. So whether a Warrior needs a major fix after a heavy season, a quick spruce-up for the summer or a simple health check to ensure peak performance, the company’s in-house specialists are ready to nurse it back to health.

commercial pumps which are suitable for hotels, resorts and health clubs with large pools – a sector which has traditionally been served by expensive, heavy-duty bronze and cast-iron pumps. Resistant to corrosion thanks to the state-of-the-art reinforced fibreglass plastic of the BADU Resort, investment costs are dramatically reduced without affecting the pump’s prolonged life and superior performance. This monoblock-type pump has a large integrated strainer tank. The bellow-type mechanical seal is maintenance free and mounted on a plastic shaft protector sleeve. This means the motor/pump shaft has no contact with the pool water, providing complete electrical separation. The pump
can be installed a maximum 3m above or below water level and is available in a wide range of sizes to meet most flow rates. Lighthouse 01752 253525 www.lighthousepools.co.uk
