Lightweight and Efficient Cleaning Performer
The Baracuda Gotcha Robotic Pool Cleaner combines lightweight handling with efficient floor and wall cleaning for simple everyday pool care.
During its 2.5-hour cleaning cycle, front scrubbing brushes help loosen and remove dirt and debris from pool surfaces, while the cleaner operates independently from the pool's filtration system.
Plug & Play operation makes setup simple — place the cleaner in the pool, start the cleaning cycle and let it work automatically.
Weighing only 5.5kg, it is easy to handle and remove from the pool using the large carrying handle. The top-access filter canister is also easy to remove and rinse, with a transparent window for clear visibility of collected debris.

Key Features
- Thorough Floor and Wall Cleaning
Cleans both the pool floor and walls during its 2.5-hour automatic cleaning cycle, while front scrubbing brushes help loosen and remove dirt and debris from pool surfaces. - Simple Plug & Play Setup
Easy to install and operate. Simply connect the cleaner, place it in the pool and start the cleaning cycle. - Ultra-Light and Easy to Handle
At only 5.5kg, the lightweight design and large handle make moving and removing the cleaner from the pool easy. - Transparent Top Window
Provides clear visibility of the debris collected inside the filter canister. - Easy Top-Access Filter Canister
Lift out the canister from the top, empty the debris and rinse it with a hose after cleaning. - 200-Micron, 3L Filter Canister
The standard filter canister offers a 3L capacity and is suitable for collecting small, medium and large debris. - Optional Fine Filtration
For extra-fine debris such as fine dust and other fine particles, an optional 100-micron filter canister is available separately. - 14m Floating Cable
Provides suitable reach for most in-ground pools up to 8m x 4m.
Built on a Proven, Time-Tested Zodiac Platform
The Baracuda Gotcha is based on the same platform as the Zodiac FX18, bringing the familiar lightweight design, simple Plug & Play operation and floor and wall cleaning to the Baracuda range.

(*) Fine Filtration: For normal debris such as leaves, dirt and larger particles, the standard 200-micron filter canister is recommended. The optional 100-micron filter canister provides finer filtration for fine dust and other extra-fine particles. Depending on the pool surface, the finer filtration may affect the cleaner's ability to climb walls, so the 100-micron canister is best used when finer filtration is required.
(**) Tiled Pools: A special tiled scrubber kit is required and sold separately.
