The ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1 is a cordless robotic pool cleaner designed to automatically scour pool floors, walls, and the waterline for residential swimming pools up to 180 square meters, according to product specifications released by the manufacturer. Priced at a recommended retail price of 549 euros in Germany, the device enters the pool maintenance market by combining high-capacity suction technology with advanced indoor-style navigation algorithms adapted for aquatic environments.
Navigation and Cleaning Performance
According to ECOVACS, the ULTRAMARINE P1 utilizes the proprietary SmartNavi navigation system driven by onboard IMU sensor technology to continuously map and track the robot’s position within the pool. This routing logic allows the hardware to plan systematic cleaning paths rather than moving randomly across the surface. The manufacturer reports that this setup achieves up to 99 percent coverage on both pool floors and vertical walls. Furthermore, the unit features a mechanical clearance design capable of overcoming underwater obstacles up to 5.5 centimeters in height, such as main drains and built-in lighting fixtures.
Suction Power and Filtration
At the core of the cleaning mechanism is the UltraPure suction technology, which delivers a processing capacity of up to 18,200 liters per hour via a high-performance motor and an optimized S-Flow channel. ECOVACS states that the system captures debris including leaves, sand, insects, and pollen. The physical scrubbing action relies on four independently operating brush rollers positioned at both the front and back of the housing. This debris collection is paired with a dual-layer filtration system featuring 180-micrometer and 3-micrometer mesh layers to trap fine particles suspended in the water.
Durability and Hardware Specifications
Because pool maintenance equipment is continuously exposed to water, ultraviolet radiation, and chemical sanitizers like chlorine, the ULTRAMARINE P1 incorporates a multi-tiered durability framework. According to technical documentation from ECOVACS, the build includes marine-grade exterior housing, corrosion-resistant components constructed from 316 stainless steel, and specialized internal seals. The primary electronic components receive an IP68 certification rating for water ingress protection, supporting a maximum run time of up to three hours on a single battery charge.
App Integration and Operating Modes
The device operates entirely without external power cords or hoses, connecting instead to a dedicated mobile application via smartphone. Through the app, users can select between multiple preset cleaning modes, adjust performance levels to match specific debris loads, and establish automated cleaning schedules. This software integration allows pool owners to manage routine maintenance cycles remotely without manual intervention during operation.
Compatibility and Availability
ECOVACS designed the ULTRAMARINE P1 to accommodate a broad range of residential pool constructions, including fiberglass, vinyl liner, and concrete surfaces. The unit handles varying basin slopes, flat platforms, and vertical boundaries within pools up to the 180-square-meter threshold. The pool robot is available through the official ECOVACS online store and authorized electronics and pool supply retailers across Germany at the baseline price point of 549 euros.
