6 Pool Party Tips for a Sparkling Setup Made Easy with Beatbot

Having a pool is awesome when it comes to summertime dips and backyard parties, but creating a smashing vibe—and keeping your pool sparkling clean—can be a lot of work. And who wants to work when it’s scorching hot and you have a pool? Nobody.

These simple tips will help you dial in your poolside game and get you ready for all the hangs and Marco Polo games ahead. 

Make some shade

The sun’s rays are no joke and it’s important to set up a UV-resistant patio umbrella (or two) for those all-day hangs. If you have a patio table, it likely already has a hole in the middle for an umbrella. A stand-alone cantilevered umbrella also works well if you want to throw shade over a couple of chaises. Look for a sturdy, heavy base and crank-and-tilt mechanisms, so that you can move the umbrella with the sun. 

Let the robots do the dirty work

Nobody wants to swim in a dirty pool, so why not let an AI-powered cleaning robot, like the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, keep it clean for you? 

The cordless Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra not only looks slick, but it’s the only robotic pool cleaner with HybridSense Pool Mapping. This advanced system utilizes 27 sensors—including an AI camera and ultrasonic and infrared sensors—to map your pool’s unique layout, scan for debris, and clean like a champ.

The Beatbot slays at surface skimming, waterline scrubbing, floor cleaning, wall scrubbing, and keeping your pool cannonball-ready. Basically, this busy bot and its handy mobile app will keep your pool clean without the cords, hassle, or time suck.

Just drop it in and it cleans for up to 10 hours on one charge. Once it’s finished, it returns to the surface near your pool’s edge and releases water in order to float. It’s a cinch to retrieve. 

Keep your water sparkling

Yet another perk of the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra: It features an exclusive ClearWater Clarification System that automatically dispenses an eco-friendly water clarifier made from recycled crab shells. The natural solution binds gunk into larger clumps, allowing it to sink to the bottom of your pool, where it’s detected and sucked up by the Beatbot. 

Water wings for all your friends

Keep your pool party-ready by assembling a toy collection that includes big, colorful beach balls, a floating mattress or inflatable chair for lazy lounging, and why not throw in a sparkly unicorn floatie? Water wings are a smart idea if you plan on having kids over at any point. Bendable pool noodles are awesome, too, as you can float on them, use them in your water-aerobics workout, and more.

Balance your levels

Keeping your pool’s chlorine and pH levels balanced is essential, especially if you have kids and lots of friends using your pool. If the acidity or alkaline level is too high or low, it can cause nasty skin irritations and decrease the effectiveness of the chlorine, which is a pool-party foul. 

Keeping the balance in check is easy. Just use a pool kit or strip that measures both the chlorine and pH levels. Test your water every day at the beginning of summer, and once you get the numbers where you want them (pH levels should land between 7.2 and 7.8 and chlorine between 1.0 and 3.0 parts per million), a quick test twice a week is all you need. 

Stock up on snacks and bevs 

Because you never know when thirsty friends are going to drop in for a dip, you want to always have light refreshments on hand. Keep a separate minifridge somewhere near the pool, if possible, and keep it stocked with frosty beverages for all ages. It’s also a good idea to have chips, crackers, and other hunger-busters ready. 

Summer’s here, and it’s time to prep for the poolside hangs and pool parties ahead. Keep calm and splash on by utilizing a stress-free routine that includes the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Ultra, and spend your summer enjoying your pool, instead of maintaining it.
