Spec-engineered for in-ground pools up to 60 feet, the Polaris ALPHA iQ+ combines intelligent mapping with full waterline scrubbing.
Polaris built the ALPHA iQ+ (model FALPHAIQP) with Sensor Nav System™ and SMART Cycle™ technology to calculate the optimal cleaning path for pools up to 60 feet in length.

Easy Lift Removal System
With its innovative Easy Lift Removal System, the Polaris Alpha iQ+ makes retrieving your robotic pool cleaner a breeze. A simple command prompts the cleaner to surface and position itself at the edge of the pool, ready for easy removal. This user-friendly feature eliminates heavy lifting and streamlines the pool maintenance process, adding a level of convenience to your cleaning routine.
iAqualink Control
The Polaris Alpha iQ+ features advanced iAquaLink connectivity, allowing you to control and monitor your robotic pool cleaner from anywhere using a smartphone or tablet. With the intuitive iAquaLink app, you can start, stop, or schedule cleaning cycles, select cleaning modes, and receive status updates in real time. This smart functionality ensures convenience and efficiency, giving you complete control over your pool maintenance, whether you're at home or away.
Easy to Clean
Cleaning the debris basket is remarkably simple with the Polaris Alpha iQ+. The cleaner features a large, top-access filter canister that opens with ease, allowing you to quickly remove and empty debris without hassle. The transparent lid lets you see when it's full, so you can maintain optimal performance without guesswork. This thoughtful design ensures maintenance is as easy as keeping your pool spotless.
A corded robot that sizes each clean to your pool.
Polaris’s ALPHA iQ+ (FALPHAIQP) cleans the floor, walls and waterline of in-ground pools. Its SMART Cycle measures your pool’s shape, size and surface and sets the cleaning time; you can also pick Quick Clean (floor only, 1 h 15 min), Deep Clean (2 h 45 min) or Waterline Only. It runs from a control box on a 70 ft cable — nothing to charge.
SMART Cycle and Sensor Nav
Polaris says SMART Cycle assesses your pool’s shape, size and surface to calculate the cleaning time, and the Sensor Nav System adjusts to water depth and acceleration.
iAquaLink App Control
Schedule recurring cleans, steer it for spot cleaning, see the water temperature and the dirty-canister indicator, and get over-the-air updates, per Polaris.
5 L Illuminated Canister

Easy Lift and a Caddy
Easy Lift brings it to the waterline to lift out; a tangle-reducing swivel keeps the cable straight; a transport caddy is included. Polaris’s manual says to take it out after each cycle.
