A self-cleaning pool uses an integrated in-floor cleaning and circulation system to automatically move debris across the pool floor while circulating filtered water throughout the entire pool.
Unlike robotic or suction cleaners that sit inside the pool, the Compass Vantage system is built directly into the pool floor. Flush-mounted cleaning heads activate in sequence, directing debris towards the pool’s main drain while returning filtered and sanitised water from the floor upwards.
The result is a cleaner pool, more consistent circulation and far less time spent manually vacuuming.
No robot crawling around the pool. No suction cleaner. No regular hand vacuuming.
HOW DOES A SELF-CLEANING POOL WORK?
CLEANING HEADS ACTIVATE
Flush-mounted cleaning heads rise from the pool floor and operate in programmed sequences.
DEBRIS IS MOVED
Powerful, targeted water flow moves dirt and debris across the pool floor towards the main drain.
WATER CIRCULATES FROM THE FLOOR UP
Filtered and sanitised water is returned through the in-floor heads, creating circulation throughout the entire pool.
IT HAPPENS AUTOMATICALLY
The system operates as part of the pool's programmed filtration cycle, continuously repeating the process without a cleaner sitting in the pool.
WHY BETTER CIRCULATION MATTERS
TRADITIONAL POOLS CIRCULATE WATER FROM THE TOP.
VANTAGE CIRCULATES FROM THE FLOOR UP.
In a conventional pool, filtered and sanitised water is typically returned through outlets positioned near the surface. This can leave deeper areas of the pool with less effective circulation.
The Vantage in-floor system takes a different approach. Filtered and sanitised water is returned through strategically positioned cleaning heads across the pool floor, creating circulation from the bottom of the pool upwards.
This helps distribute treated water more evenly throughout the entire pool — including the deeper areas where circulation matters most.
Better circulation. More even water quality. Fewer stagnant areas.
LESS CLEANING. MORE TIME ENJOYING YOUR POOL.
WHAT IS A SMART POOL?
A pool designed to look after itself.
For us, a smart pool isn’t about adding technology for the sake of it. It’s about combining the right systems to make owning a pool simpler.
With Vantage in-floor cleaning working alongside your filtration and sanitisation system, cleaning and circulation happen automatically as part of the pool’s normal operation.
That means less time thinking about pool maintenance — and more time actually enjoying your pool.
No cleaner left crawling around the pool. No dragging out the vacuum. Just a cleaner, smarter way to own a pool.
BUILT AROUND YOUR LIFESTYLE
A self-cleaning pool works quietly in the background, helping take care of one of the most time-consuming parts of pool ownership.
And because the system is built into the pool itself, there’s no bulky cleaner constantly sitting on the floor or hoses running across the water.
The result is a pool that doesn’t just stay cleaner — it looks better while you’re enjoying it too.

BUILT TO CLEAN MORE THAN JUST THE POOL FLOOR
CLEANING DESIGNED INTO THE POOL
Vantage cleaning heads are positioned throughout the pool to create targeted water movement where it’s needed.
Unlike a robotic or suction cleaner that moves around the main floor, an in-floor system can be designed to provide circulation and cleaning across areas such as steps, benches and shallow zones.
When they’re not operating, the cleaning heads sit flush with the pool surface, keeping the pool looking clean and uncluttered.
No hoses. No cleaner sitting in the pool. Just discreet cleaning built into the design.
SELF-CLEANING POOL OR ROBOTIC CLEANER?
BOTH CLEAN YOUR POOL. THE DIFFERENCE IS HOW THEY DO IT.
A modern robotic cleaner can do a good job of removing debris from a pool, and for many existing pools it can be a practical solution.
A Vantage in-floor system takes a different approach. Rather than placing a cleaner into the pool, the cleaning and circulation system is designed into the pool from the beginning.
The choice isn’t simply about which one cleans — it’s about how you want your pool to work and look every day.
ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER
Added to the pool
A separate cleaner that is placed into the pool to collect debris.

Visible while cleaning
The cleaner and its cable remain in the pool while it operates.
Good floor cleaning
Modern robotic cleaners can be very effective at collecting dirt and debris, with some models also designed to clean walls and the waterline.
Requires handling
The cleaner needs to be put into the pool, removed, emptied and periodically cleaned.
Ideal for existing pools
Can be added at any time without needing to be incorporated during construction.
VANTAGE IN-FLOOR SELF-CLEANING
Built into the pool
The cleaning and circulation system is incorporated into the pool during construction.

Virtually invisible
Cleaning heads sit flush with the pool surface when they're not operating.
Cleans while it circulates
Filtered and sanitised water is returned through strategically positioned cleaning heads throughout the pool.
No cleaner to handle
There is no robotic unit to put in, take out or store between cleaning cycles.
Designed into new pools
The system is planned around the pool's shape, steps, benches and other features before construction.
WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you’re building a new pool, Vantage gives you the opportunity to build cleaning and enhanced circulation into the pool from day one.
A CLEANER POOL WITHOUT THE CLUTTER
No cleaner sitting on the pool floor. No hose trailing through the water. No robotic cleaner waiting beside the pool between cycles.
Vantage is largely hidden from view, allowing the pool itself to remain the focus.
For homeowners who care just as much about how their pool looks as how it performs, that’s one of the biggest advantages of building the cleaning system into the pool.
Because a beautifully designed pool shouldn’t need a cleaner sitting in the middle of it.
BETTER CIRCULATION SUPPORTS MORE EVEN HEATING
MORE THAN JUST CLEANING
BETTER WATER MOVEMENT
Circulation starts from the pool floor and moves upward through the water.
MORE EVEN HEAT DISTRIBUTION
When used with pool heating, in-floor circulation helps distribute heated water throughout the pool.
ONE INTEGRATED SYSTEM
Cleaning and circulation work together as part of the pool’s normal filtration cycle.
Vantage isn’t just about removing debris. It’s about changing the way water moves through your pool.
IS A SELF-CLEANING POOL WORTH IT?
FOR MANY NEW POOL OWNERS, IT COMES DOWN TO HOW YOU WANT TO USE YOUR POOL.
A self-cleaning system represents an additional investment during construction, so it won’t be the right choice for everyone.
But for homeowners who want to minimise hands-on cleaning, avoid having a cleaner sitting in the pool and benefit from an integrated circulation system, Vantage can be an upgrade worth considering from the beginning.
Because the system is built into the pool during construction, the best time to decide whether self-cleaning is right for you is while you’re designing your pool — not after it’s finished.
WHEN DO WE RECOMMEND SELF-CLEANING?
✓ You want to spend less time manually cleaning your pool
✓ You don’t want a robotic or suction cleaner sitting in the water
✓ You’re investing in a premium pool and want the cleaning system integrated into the design
✓ You value improved whole-pool circulation as well as debris removal
