Quick answer: the iQuavia HG800 is a 3-in-1 robotic pool cleaner covering floor, walls, and waterline. It is the world's first to offer true underwater direct control through a dedicated signal buoy — meaning you steer it in real time while it is fully submerged, using your phone (Smart Life app) or the included remote. It runs up to 3.5 hours on a 9,000 mAh battery in cordless mode, or unlimited hours in corded mode covering pools up to 800 m² (8,611 sq ft). Its self-developed ultrasonic sensors automatically map any pool shape for intelligent path planning.
The gap in every other pool robot
Most robotic pool cleaners marketed as "app-controlled" share a hidden limitation: app and remote commands only reach the robot at or near the water surface. The moment it dives, the signal dies — water blocks standard WiFi and RF. You wait. You hope the automatic pattern finds the debris you can already see. Then you fish it out with a pole.
The iQuavia HG800 was built to close that gap entirely.
Five things that set the HG800 apart
1. True underwater direct control. A signal buoy floats at the surface and maintains a continuous relay link between your phone/remote and the robot below. Commands travel in real time, both directions, while the robot is fully submerged — steer it, pause it, send it to a specific spot, or activate wall-climbing mode, all without waiting for it to surface. No competitor currently offers this capability.
2. Ultrasonic smart navigation, any pool shape. Self-developed ultrasonic sensors combined with a high-precision 6-axis gyroscope automatically recognize your pool's shape and dimensions — rectangular, round, oval, or irregular — and plan the most efficient cleaning path without manual setup. The result is systematic, overlapping-lane coverage of the floor (Vortex-Path or S-Path), walls (N-Path), and waterline in a single cycle.
3. Real 3-in-1 cleaning. Full Area Cleaning mode sequences three phases automatically: initial boundary navigation (O-Path), wall cleaning up to the waterline (N-Path), then full floor coverage. Wall-only or Floor-only modes are available for targeted sessions.
4. Cordless or corded — switch per session. The 9,000 mAh battery delivers 2–3.5 hours of cordless runtime depending on mode (up to 175–180 minutes in Eco Floor mode). Add the optional AC/DC power supply for unlimited corded runtime covering pools up to 800 m² (8,611 sq ft) with a 15-meter floating cable and built-in anti-tangle system.
5. Two control methods, always available. The included physical remote controller works independently of WiFi — no app, no phone, no network required. For app control, connect the signal buoy or AC/DC power supply to the Smart Life app (available on the App Store and Google Play) for scheduling, mode selection, and real-time manual steering. Both methods work interchangeably.
What's in the box
Standard configuration includes the robotic pool cleaner, charging adapter, remote controller, user manual, quick start guide, and warranty card. The signal buoy (2.2m cable) and AC/DC power supply (15m cable) are optional accessories — the signal buoy enables app connectivity and underwater control; the power supply enables corded unlimited-runtime mode.

FAQ
Does the HG800 require the signal buoy to work?
No. The robot operates fully in auto and manual modes using the included remote controller without any accessories. The signal buoy adds app control and enables true underwater WiFi relay; the AC/DC power supply adds corded unlimited-runtime mode.
Can I control it with my phone?
Yes, via the Smart Life app, when connected to the signal buoy or AC/DC power supply. The app supports all four auto modes, manual steering, wall climb buttons, and scheduled cleaning.
How do I get it out of the pool?
Press PULL ASIDE (12) on the remote to navigate to the pool edge, then UP WALL (8) to park at the waterline. Lift out from the wall — no poles needed.
What pool shapes does it handle?
Any shape — rectangular, round, oval, or irregular/freeform. The ultrasonic sensor + 6-axis gyroscope system adapts automatically.
