Underwater Direct Control: Steer Your HG800 From the Water's Edge
Autonomous cleaning handles 95% of the job. But every pool has its moments — a pocket of leaves after a storm, debris gathered in one stubborn corner. That's why we built Underwater Direct Control into the iQuavia HG800.
Take command without getting wet
From the water's edge, open the iQuavia app and switch to direct control. Responsive, intuitive controls let you steer the HG800 in real time and send it exactly where you want it — no poles, no nets, no wading in.
When to use it
- Spot cleaning after weather. Wind and rain concentrate debris in predictable corners. Drive the HG800 straight there instead of waiting for a full cycle.
- Targeting shallow zones. Guide it across tanning ledges and sun shelves before guests arrive.
- Easy retrieval. When cleaning ends, the HG800 auto-parks near the wall. Use direct control to drive it up the side, then lift it out — dry hands, done.
Precision you can feel
Direct control runs on the same sensor fusion system that powers autonomous navigation, so the HG800 stays stable and responsive even while you steer. It's the difference between operating a gadget and directing an intelligent machine.
Autonomy for every day. Control for the moments that need you. Both are built in.
