Duo-X comparison
| Model | Pool fit | Connectivity | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| DX3000 | Confirm current specifications | No app feature claimed | Core Duo-X features |

Shared Duo-X cleaning technology
The range uses cyclonic suction and an active helix brush to loosen and collect debris. Dual-stage 150/60-micron filtration helps capture larger and finer material. A swivel reduces cable tangling, while the Lift System assists retrieval at the waterline.
DX3000: the core option
Choose the DX3000 when you want the fundamental Duo-X cleaning system without paying specifically for app connectivity. Confirm its current pool-size suitability before ordering.
DX4000: pools up to 10 × 5m
The DX4000 cleans the floor, walls and waterline, with a 15-metre cable, 4-litre dual-stage filter and three-motor drive. It is the middle choice when you need full coverage without iAquaLink control.
DX4050 iQ: larger pools and app control
The DX4050 iQ increases recommended pool size to 12 × 6 metres and uses an 18-metre cable. iAquaLink adds compatible phone-based monitoring and controls.
