Zodiac Freerider FR500 iQ

The Zodiac Freerider FR500 iQ is a cordless robotic pool cleaner that makes pool maintenance a breeze for Aussie pool owners.

Designed for in-ground pools up to 10 x 5 metres, it confidently covers your pool floor, walls, and waterline. Its cordless pool robot design means no tangled cords to deal with, so you can drop it in and let it do its thing. Built for Australian conditions, the FR500 iQ is durable and efficient; tough enough for our summers and any pool surface.

A hefty 6.4Ah lithium-ion battery gives the FR500 iQ up to 2 hours of cleaning on a single charge. Recharging is quick too – under 5 hours to full – so your pool robot cleaner is ready by the next swim.

Dual traction motors and tank-trax wheels give the robot excellent grip, letting it tackle slopes and climb walls without slipping. This robotic pool cleaner roams every corner of your pool, scrubbing away dirt so you don’t have to.

The FR500 iQ is only 9kgs and boasts a 3L top-access filter canister with fine 100µ filtration to trap leaves, sand, and debris. The canister’s transparent lid lets you see at a glance when it’s full. Thanks to strong suction and active scrubbing brushes, it picks up debris efficiently and helps keep your water crystal clear.

When a cleaning cycle is done, the FR500 iQ waits at the waterline for you to grab it – or you can use the handy Tap & Lift™ feature: just tap the cleaner with your pool pole and it will climb the wall for easy retrieval. It’s a smart, hassle-free solution for a consistently clean pool.

For those comparing robotic pool cleaner models, the FR500’s big sibling – the FR800 iQ – includes dual-stage filtration (150µ/60µ) and two cleaning modes if you’re looking for fine-particle capture and more cleaning options.

No matter which model you choose, you’re getting Zodiac quality. Zodiac is a leader in the field of robotic pool cleaners and is well-known for its Australia-wide after-sales service.

The FR500 iQ is backed by a solid warranty: 2 years or 800 running hours on the motor (whichever comes first) and 1 year on wearable parts like the filter canister, tyres, tracks, and roller brush.
