It runs a single drop-and-go cleaning workflow: drop the robot in the pool, press the power button, and let it run a 200-minute cycle covering floor, walls, and waterline. The Hydro 3 is positioned as the entry point in the Chasing pool cleaner lineup (formerly Poolmate), targeting owners who want a true cordless solution without the price tag of higher-end models like the Hydro 4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hydro 3 uses a dual-inlet, dual-zone filter basket design (the world's first dual water-inlet system in this category, per Chasing) along with dual brushless turbine motors that produce 5,070 GPH of suction. A 4.1L filter basket with 180 μm nylon mesh captures leaves, sand, hair, and fine debris. The 11,000 mAh battery powers the 200-minute runtime, and the unit weighs 16 lbs (7.5 kg) dry. Adaptive path navigation cleans the pool surface evenly without RTK, vision, or external mapping hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the right pool cleaner for owners with smaller residential pools who prioritize cordless freedom and dependable basic cleaning over premium features. Compared to corded cleaners like the Hydro 4 SE (which offer unlimited runtime but require cord management), the Hydro 3's wireless workflow eliminates tangling and lets the user swim alongside it. Compared to the Beatbot Sora 10 (3,229 sq. ft. coverage), the Hydro 3 has a smaller coverage envelope but a similar feature set at a lower price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 0 0 500px; max-width: 100%; order: 2;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.image2url.com\/r2\/default\/images\/1779552629487-2d5065c5-dcd9-4888-9b6e-b3844ffdf3d8.jpg\" alt=\"Chasing Hydro 3 cordless robotic pool cleaner submerged in a residential pool\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start; flex-wrap: wrap;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 0 0 500px; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.image2url.com\/r2\/default\/images\/1779552662312-931c2b02-35ac-4777-a634-ff9b73ec4b3a.jpg\" alt=\"Chasing Hydro 3 dimensions and component layout\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 398 x 405 x 253 mm (15.7\" L x 15.9\" W x 10\" H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 lbs (7.5 kg) dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuction Power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5,070 GPH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuction Flow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 320 L\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11,000 mAh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 200 minutes per charge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharging Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 4 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak Power Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 m\/min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorking Depth Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 m to 3 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pool Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 861-1,076 sq. ft.

Homeowners with rectangular or kidney-shaped pools, simple waterlines, and pool depths between 0.5 m and 3 m will see consistent performance across full cleaning cycles. The drop-to-go workflow suits casual users who want minimal setup and no app-based scheduling complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor seasonal pool owners, vacation homes, and pools used primarily on weekends, the 200-minute runtime fits a single Friday-evening or Saturday-morning cleaning before guests arrive. Pool service contractors managing a portfolio of smaller residential properties can deploy the Hydro 3 as a lightweight transport-friendly cleaner that fits in a vehicle and operates without site-specific power outlets near the pool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hydro 3 is not suited for pools larger than 1,076 sq. ft., commercial pools, pools with extensive shallow ledges below 0.5 m, or pools with floating surface debris that requires skimming. For larger or more demanding setups, the Hydro 3S (300-minute runtime, S-shaped navigation, app control) or Hydro 4 (3,229 sq. ft. coverage, app control, hybrid cord options) match those needs more accurately. Owners with heavy organic debris loads from overhead trees should consider pairing the Hydro 3 with a separate surface skimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSetup and Getting Started\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; gap: 20px; align-items: flex-start; flex-wrap: wrap;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 300px; order: 1;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEstimated Setup Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 to 30 minutes for unboxing, initial charge, and first cleaning cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStep 1 - Charge the Battery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Connect the included charger to a 100V-240V outlet and to the Hydro 3 charging port.
