@serenity-made-visible asked about the underwater robot vacuum.

top pic = the control module that plugs into a 110 volt electrical outlet.

2nd pic = the control module sends power to the vacuum through the gray cord. the gray cord and the vacuum are lowered into the water. the control module stays on the pool deck.

3rd and 4th pic = the robot vacuum that crawls along the bottom of the pool vacuuming up debris. the rubber rollers on the bottom of the unit rotate and move the vacuum. electric motors inside the vacuum pull water through some internal bag filters that capture debris. the water exits through the blue ports on top of the vacuum
