Main trade-off
ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1
ECOVACS states that the P1 is not designed to clean steps.
Head-to-head
Ecovacs P1 vs Beatbot AquaSense: P1 filters finer debris, AquaSense documents waterline coverage
The short answer
P1 is the fine-filtration choice. Original AquaSense offers a larger area rating, longer maximum floor runtime and explicitly documented waterline coverage.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
AquaSense area advantage is about 17 percent
Its advertised limit is 323 square feet larger.
What this is based on
2260 minus 1937 equals 323. Divide by 1937 for 16.7 percent.
Main trade-off
Beatbot AquaSense
Its 150-micron filter is coarser than the fine secondary media in the WYBOT C2 or ECOVACS P1.
ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1
- Choose it for
- You need a 3-micron secondary filter for fine material.
- Your pool fits the 1,937-square-foot rating.
- Main trade-off
- ECOVACS states that the P1 is not designed to clean steps.
Beatbot AquaSense
- Choose it for
- You need the larger 2,260-square-foot rating.
- You want explicit floor, wall and waterline coverage.
- Main trade-off
- Its 150-micron filter is coarser than the fine secondary media in the WYBOT C2 or ECOVACS P1.
About this comparison
Compare Ecovacs Ultramarine P1 and original Beatbot AquaSense for rated area, filter scale, published flow and the limits attached to maximum runtime.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
AquaSense area advantage is about 17 percent
Its advertised limit is 323 square feet larger.
How we reached this conclusion
2260 minus 1937 equals 323. Divide by 1937 for 16.7 percent.
The runtime ceilings differ by half an hour
AquaSense floor figure is 210 minutes against P1 180-minute Eco figure.
How we reached this conclusion
3.5 hours times 60 equals 210. 210 minus 180 equals 30 minutes. Modes are not equivalent.
P1 filtration is the stronger specification distinction
Its 3-micron secondary stage is nominally much finer than 150-micron AquaSense media.
How we reached this conclusion
150 divided by 3 equals 50 for nominal pore-size scale. No fiftyfold performance claim follows.
Choice A
ECOVACS, P1
ULTRAMARINE P1
A high-flow cordless robot with unusually fine secondary filtration and planned app-based cleaning.
- Best matched use
- Fine silt in a large pool where a cordless robot and repeatable navigation are priorities
Checked facts
- The dual filter combines 180-micron media with a 3-micron secondary filter.
- Published flow is 4,800 GPH with coverage up to 1,937 square feet.
- SmartNavi 2.0, app scheduling and up to 180 minutes in Eco mode are documented.
Choice B
Beatbot, A100
AquaSense
A long-running cordless cleaner with powerful published flow and full floor, wall and waterline coverage.
- Best matched use
- Large pools where cable-free coverage and long floor runtime matter more than a light carry
Checked facts
- Beatbot rates it for pools up to 2,260 square feet.
- The 6,700 mAh battery supports up to 3.5 hours of continuous floor cleaning.
- It covers the floor, walls and waterline with 5,500 GPH flow and app-assisted return.
Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1 | Beatbot AquaSense | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter media | 180 plus 3 microns | 150 microns | P1 adds much finer secondary media. |
| Rated area | 1,937 square feet | 2,260 square feet | AquaSense adds 323 square feet. |
| Maximum runtime | 180 minutes in Eco mode | 210 minutes of floor cleaning | These are different mode-specific ceilings. |
| Published flow | 4,800 GPH | 5,500 GPH | AquaSense lists 700 GPH more, without a matched pickup test. |
| Coverage emphasis | Current page emphasizes floor and walls | Floor, walls and waterline | Confirm a dedicated waterline function before choosing P1 for that task. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose ECOVACS ULTRAMARINE P1
- The longest runtime is tied to its Eco floor-cleaning mode.
If you choose Beatbot AquaSense
- The large battery and body are less pleasant to carry when wet.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
You want waterline modes and finer filtration together
Choose neither. C2 documents waterline cleaning with 10-micron secondary media.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
For powdery sediment
P1 finer inner media is more relevant than a modest flow difference when the problem is particles returning to the water. Check cleaning access and replacement-filter availability. A fine filter that is left loaded can compromise the routine regardless of its nominal rating.
For a larger floor area
AquaSense larger advertised area and longer floor-mode ceiling offer more stated capacity. They do not promise full coverage of a complicated pool at the limit. Verify the exact original AquaSense model, since AquaSense 2 and Pro packages have different hardware and claims.
For waterline work
AquaSense explicitly includes the waterline in its coverage. P1 current product text concentrates on floors and walls. If the waterline ring is the reason for buying, obtain exact model confirmation instead of assuming that wall climbing automatically includes sustained waterline scrubbing.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Manufacturer flow, runtime and coverage figures are not matched independent pool-cleaning tests.
- Wall climbing, steps and waterline performance depend on pool geometry and surface conditions. App support does not establish live underwater radio control.
