Zodiac Voyager RE 4700 iQ – The intelligent all-rounder for crystal-clear pools

If you have a rectangular or oval pool. If you want cyclone technology. If you appreciate Zodiac quality – but don't need the absolute top-of-the-line model.

You know the Saturday morning ritual: net in hand, pool brush ready, two hours of manual labor ahead. Vacuuming the floor. Scrubbing the walls. Cleaning the waterline. Afterwards: back pain, wasted time, frustration.

There is a better way.

The Zodiac Voyager RE 4700 iQ is built for people who understand that a pool should bring joy, not work. It's the intelligent all-rounder in the Zodiac family: not the cheapest entry-level model (that would be the MX9), not the absolute premium flagship (that would be the Vortex PRO 4WD RV 5600). But rather the sweet spot – where price-performance ratio is perfect.

What you will receive:

• Cyclone Technology™ (constant suction power even with a full filter – like Dyson vacuum cleaners)
• Two-stage filtration (150 μm coarse filter + 60 μm fine filter for crystal-clear water)
• Helix brushes front and back (remove stubborn deposits – limescale, algae, biofilm)
• Caterpillar drive (climbs walls, works on all surfaces – tiles, foil, concrete)
• Lift system (water drains away when lifting – only lifts 8kg instead of 15kg)
• iAquaLink™ app (remote start/stop, cycle time adjustment, firmware updates)
• 18m cable with swivel (rotating joint prevents tangling)
• Transport trolley included (no carrying, just roll)
• 3-year warranty (with app registration)

The result: You press a button (on the device or via app), the Voyager RE 4700 iQ cleans for 90 minutes (floor only) or 150 minutes (floor + walls + waterline) – and you enjoy your coffee. No net. No scrubbing. Just clean water.

Saturday morning, 10:00 a.m. Coffee instead of a net. While your neighbors struggle with the pool brush, your Voyager is running – and you're already planning the barbecue for the evening.

The 5 most important advantages at a glance:

• Cyclone Technology™ for constant suction power : Filter full? No problem – suction power remains strong thanks to centrifugal force (like Dyson), no loss of power during cleaning, critical for long cycles (150 min).
• Two-stage filtration (150 μm + 60 μm) : Coarse filter traps leaves/twigs, fine filter traps sand/dust/algae spores – crystal-clear water, no turbidity, more efficient than single-stage filtration
• Helix brushes front and back for thorough cleaning : Spiral-shaped brushes loosen stubborn deposits (limescale, algae, biofilm), large suction opening (23cm) vacuums up immediately, more thoroughly than simple brushes.
• Lift system for back-friendly lifting : The robot comes to the edge of the pool, the water drains automatically – lifting only 8kg instead of 15kg (full of water) protects the back, especially important for weekly use.
• iAquaLink™ app with remote control : Start/stop from anywhere, adjust cycle time (90 or 150 min), track cleaning progress, firmware updates, full control via smartphone

Who is this pool robot ideally suited for?

Reality check : The Zodiac Voyager RE 4700 iQ is for people with rectangular/oval pools (up to 12 x 6m) who want Zodiac quality – but don't need the absolute premium model (with remote control like the Vortex PRO).

✓ Owners of rectangular/oval pools up to 12 x 6m
Your pool is a standard shape: rectangular (8 x 4m, 10 x 5m, 12 x 6m) or oval. No L-shape, no kidney shape, no complicated freeform pools. The Voyager RE 4700 iQ is perfect for such standard shapes: pre-programmed lanes cover everything.

✓ People who want cyclone technology (constant suction power)
You get it: Many pool robots lose suction power when the filter gets full (blocking airflow). Cyclone Technology™ (like Dyson's) separates dirt from the air using centrifugal force – suction power remains constant. This isn't a marketing gimmick, it's physics. And you want it.

✓ People who want crystal-clear water (two-stage filtration)
"Clean" isn't enough for you – you want "crystal clear." No turbidity, no suspended solids, no tiny particles. Two-stage filtration (150 μm + 60 μm) filters both coarse and fine particles. Single-stage robots (only 150 μm or only 60 μm) can't achieve this.

✓ People with stubborn deposits (limescale, algae, biofilm)
Your pool has hard water → limescale deposits on the walls. Or: You've had algae problems → a green film is firmly attached. Or: Biofilm (a slimy layer of bacteria) at the waterline. Helix brushes (front and back) scrub this away. Regular brushes can't do it.

✓ People who value back protection (lift system)
You're over 50, or you have back problems, or you simply don't want to lift 15 kg from a depth of 1.5 m (bent over, arms outstretched). Lift system : A robot comes to the edge of the pool, the water drains away, and you only lift 8 kg. This isn't luxury – it's protecting your health.

✓ App users who appreciate remote start
You're at the office. Guests are arriving in 3 hours. You open the iAquaLink™ app, select "Floor + Walls + Waterline, 150 min". The robot cleans (it must be in the pool). When you get home: the pool is sparkling clean. This is 2026 – no more manual control required.

✓ People who have all types of surfaces (tiles, foil, concrete)
Does your pool have tiles? A liner? A reinforced liner? Polyester? Painted concrete? The tracked drive works on all of them. The rubber coating ensures grip – even on smooth tiles. You don't have to worry: "Will the robot fit my pool?" It will.

✓ People who appreciate Zodiac quality + 3-year warranty
Zodiac has been building pool cleaners since 1958 – the Voyager RE 4700 iQ is based on proven technology. A 3-year warranty (with app registration) demonstrates Zodiac's confidence in its own quality. This is not some no-name product from China.

✓ People who appreciate swivel (no cable clutter)
18m cable – without the swivel, it would twist like a coiled telephone cord. With the swivel: the cable stays straight, no tangling. Transport trolley included: lift the robot out of the pool, place it on the trolley, and roll it to the shed. No need to carry it across 10m of lawn.

Product description: When cyclone technology meets helix brushes

The concept: The intelligent all-rounder

Zodiac has a clear product hierarchy: entry-level (MX9, basic), mid-range (Voyager RE 4700 iQ, intelligent), and premium (Vortex PRO 4WD, luxury). The Voyager RE 4700 iQ is the perfect middle ground – where you get all the essential features without paying for extras you'll never use.

What distinguishes the Voyager from cheaper models?

Cyclone Technology™ – cheaper robots don't have this → Suction power decreases when the filter is full
Two-stage filtration – cheaper robots have a single stage → less thorough filtration
Helix brushes – cheaper robots have simple brushes → less effective at removing debris.
Lift system – cheaper robots don't have this → lifts 15kg instead of 8kg
iAquaLink™ app – inexpensive robots don't have an app → no remote control

What distinguishes the Voyager from premium models (e.g., Vortex PRO)?

No remote control – premium models have joystick control via app (for targeted steering to dirt).
No 4-wheel drive – premium models have 4WD (even better wall grip)
No advanced AI – premium models have adaptive algorithms (learning from each cycle)

However, for 95% of pool owners (rectangular/oval pools, standard use), these premium features are unnecessary. The Voyager RE 4700 iQ delivers 95% of the performance for 70% of the price .

Cyclone Technology™ – Constant suction power, constant cleaning

The problem with conventional pool robots:

Filter fills up with dirt (leaves, sand, algae) → airflow is blocked → suction power decreases → poor cleaning at the end of the cycle.

Specifically: After 60 minutes, the filter is half full. Suction power: Only 70%. After 120 minutes: Filter almost full. Suction power: Only 40%. The last 30 minutes of the 150-minute cycle are almost useless – the robot just pushes dirt around and barely picks it up.

The solution: Cyclone Technology™ (patented by Zodiac, similar to Dyson vacuum cleaners)

How it works:

The drawn-in water is set into rapid rotation (cyclone). Centrifugal force flings dirt particles outwards (into the filter basket). The cleaned water continues to flow in the center. The airflow remains unobstructed – even when the filter basket becomes full.

The result: Consistent suction power throughout the entire cleaning cycle (90 or 150 minutes). The Voyager RE 4700 iQ has the same suction power in minute 150 as in minute 1.

In practical terms, this means you don't have to empty the filter mid-cycle. A 150-minute cycle (floor + walls + waterline) runs completely through – without any drop in performance. When you take the robot out, the pool is truly clean – not "half-clean because the last 30 minutes didn't do anything".

Comparison:

• Without a cyclone (cheap robots): Suction power drops from 100% to 40% during the cycle.
• With cyclone (Voyager RE 4700 iQ): Suction power remains at 95-100% during the cycle.

That's the difference between "clean" and "crystal clear".

Two-stage filtration (150 μm + 60 μm) – Coarse and fine

Many pool robots have single-stage filtration: either 150 μm (coarse, clogs quickly, doesn't clog quickly) OR 60 μm (fine, filters thoroughly but clogs quickly). This is a compromise.

The Voyager RE 4700 iQ has two-stage filtration: 150 μm coarse filter + 60 μm fine filter – both simultaneously.

How does that work?

Stage 1 – Coarse filter (150 μm):
Traps large particles: leaves, twigs, insects, coarse sand, pieces of algae. Prevents the fine filter from clogging immediately.

Stage 2 – Fine filter (60 μm):
Captures fine particles: fine sand, dust, pollen, algae spores, the finest suspended solids.

The system: Water is drawn in → first passes through a coarse filter (large particles get caught) → then a fine filter (small particles get caught) → clean water flows back into the pool.

Why is a two-stage system better than a single-stage system?

Coarse filter only (150 μm): Leaves/sand are filtered, but fine dust/pollen passes through → pool remains slightly cloudy.

Fine filter only (60 μm): Everything is filtered, but the filter clogs after 20 minutes (leaves block the mesh) → suction power drops.

Two-stage (150 μm + 60 μm): Coarse filter catches leaves (protects fine filter from clogging), fine filter catches dust → Crystal clear water, long filter life.

Plus: Transparent filter lid. You can see from the outside how full the filters are. No need to open them to check.

Filter replacement: After each cleaning, remove both filters, rinse them with a garden hose, and reinsert them. A 3-minute job.

Helix brushes (front + back) – Remove what others leave behind

What are helix brushes?

Spiral brushes (like a DNA double helix or corkscrew). Developed by Zodiac for thorough cleaning. At the front of the robot : a helix brush loosens dirt from the surface. At the back of the robot : a second helix brush for finishing touches (if something was missed at the front).

Why are helix brushes better than regular brushes?

Simple brushes (flat nylon bristles): These only sweep away dirt superficially. OK for loose dirt (leaves, sand). Ineffective for caked-on dirt (limescale, algae, biofilm).

Helix brushes (spiral-shaped): Scrubbing in multiple directions simultaneously (due to their spiral shape). They also remove stubborn deposits.

Specifically:

Limescale deposits (in hard water): White film on tiles/foil. Simple brushes brush over it, limescale remains. Helix brushes scrub, limescale dissolves.

Algae (green film): If the chlorine level was too low, algae grow on the walls. Simple brushes will wipe over them, but some algae will remain. Helix brushes remove algae completely.

Biofilm (a slimy layer of bacteria at the waterline): Grease, sunscreen, and body oils accumulate there. Simple brushes only smear it. Helix brushes scrub it away.

The combination with Cyclone Technology™:

Helix brushes loosen the dirt → Large suction opening (23cm wide) immediately sucks up (before dirt sinks again) → Cyclone technology™ ensures constant suction power.

The result: walls and waterline are not just "clean" (superficially), but thoroughly cleaned (even stubborn deposits are removed).

Caterpillar drive – Climbs walls, masters all surfaces

The Voyager RE 4700 iQ has tracked drive (like a tank) – not wheels.

Why tracks instead of wheels?

The wheels slip on smooth surfaces (tiles, foil) when climbing walls. Result: The robot falls down and only cleans the floor.

Caterpillar tracks (rubber coating): Large contact area → maximum adhesion. Works on all surfaces: tiles (smooth), foil (smooth), fabric-reinforced foil, polyester, painted concrete (rough).

Three motors (two tracked, one suction pump) provide powerful propulsion. It climbs walls up to 90° – that's almost vertical. Most pool walls are 80-85° – no problem for the Voyager.

Cleaning width: 23 cm – large suction opening. The robot covers more area per pass → faster cleaning.

Transmission: Gearbox – powerful, precise movement. No belts (which can break), but a mechanical gearbox.

Lift system – back-friendly, practical, patented

Zodiac's patented lift system works like this:

1. Cleaning is complete (after 90 or 150 minutes).

2. Robot moves to the edge of the pool (pre-programmed, automatic).

3. Robot climbs up wall (to just below waterline).

4. Water drains from the back (through special openings in the housing).

5. They only lift 8kg (empty weight) instead of 15kg (full of water).

Why is this important?

Protecting your back: Lifting 15kg from a depth of 1.5m (bent over, arms outstretched) puts strain on the lumbar spine. Lifting 8kg is significantly easier, even for older people or those with back problems.

Frequency: You clean 1-2 times per week. That's 50-100 times per year. Lifting 15kg 100 times vs. lifting 8kg 100 times – over a year, that makes a difference.

Included in delivery: Transport trolley. You lift the robot out of the pool, place it on the trolley, and roll it to the storage area. No need to carry it more than 10 meters of lawn.

iAquaLink™ app – Full control via smartphone

The iAquaLink™ app (free, iOS + Android) connects you to the Voyager RE 4700 iQ:

Remote start/stop: You're at the office. Guests are arriving in 3 hours. You open the app, select "Floor + Walls + Waterline, 150 min". The robot cleans (it must already be in the pool). When you get home, the pool is sparkling clean.

Select cycle time:

• 90 minutes: Floor only (for quick interim cleaning)
• 150 minutes: Floor + walls + waterline (for complete cleaning)

Track cleaning progress: "47 minutes remaining – currently cleaning walls". You can see live what the robot is doing.

Firmware updates: Zodiac improves algorithms, optimizes navigation, and fixes bugs. Updates are installed via the app – your robot gets better over time.

Maintenance reminders: "Clean filter", "Check brushes", "Next inspection in 200 operating hours".

IMPORTANT – Wi-Fi limitation (as with all Zodiac models):
The robot needs a Wi-Fi connection for app control. There's no signal underwater. Solution: Activate the lift system (the robot rises to the surface) → Wi-Fi connection established → app works.

18m cable with swivel – No tangling, no knots

18 meters of cable are sufficient for pools up to 12 x 6m (diagonal approx. 13.4m + reserve).

The swivel (rotating joint at the cable end) prevents the cable from twisting. The robot turns and changes direction while cleaning – without the swivel, the cable would coil up like a telephone cord. With the swivel: the cable stays straight, no tangling.

The control box (included) is placed at the edge of the pool, the cable is connected, and a power supply (230V) is connected. The box regulates the power supply and communicates with the app.

Compared to battery-powered robots:

Advantage of a corded model: Unlimited runtime (no battery that runs out after 2 hours). You can run a 3-hour cleaning cycle (for very large/dirty pools).

Disadvantage of the cable: The cable can get tangled (but the swivel minimizes this). You need a power outlet at the pool.

Safety systems – protection against incorrect operation

Dry-run protection: Robot switched on outside of water? Automatic shutdown (prevents motor damage).

Electronic motor protection: Overheating or blockage? Motor shuts off (e.g., if robot gets stuck on an obstacle, motor is overloaded).

Stranding system: If the robot gets stuck in one spot (e.g., on a pool ladder, in a corner)? The system detects this and automatically changes its direction of travel.

Pre-programmed movement – ​​Optimized for rectangular/oval pools

The Voyager RE 4700 iQ follows pre-programmed paths – optimized for rectangular and oval pools.

Ground mode (90 min):
Parallel strips across the entire floor. Overlapping the strips (23cm cleaning width) ensures: no gaps.

Floor + Walls + Waterline Mode (150 min):
First the ground (as above), then climb the walls (vertical tracks), then travel along the waterline (horizontal track just below the water surface).

Which pools are they suitable for?

✓ Rectangular pools (8 x 4m, 10 x 5m, 12 x 6m)
✓ Oval pools (similar sizes)
✓ Pools with straight walls (90° or slightly sloping)

NOT ideal for:
✗ L-shaped pools (pre-programmed lanes miss corners)
✗ Kidney-shaped pools (lanes do not fit the shape)
✗ Freeform pools with many bays (robot gets stuck in bays)

For such pools: Zodiac Vortex PRO 4WD RV 5600 (with remote control, steer specifically to problem areas).

Power consumption 150 watts – Efficient

150 watts – moderate. For comparison:

• Large cable-operated pool robots: 200-300W
• Voyager RE 4700 iQ: 150W

Energy consumption per cleaning:
150W x 2.5h (150 min) = 0.375 kWh
At an electricity price of €0.30/kWh, this equates to approximately 11 cents per cleaning.

Negligible. Even if you clean twice a week (100 times a year) = €11 per year in electricity costs.

Compact dimensions, light weight

43 x 40 x 30 cm (L x W x H) – compact enough for storage in a shed/garage.
8 kg empty weight – lighter than many competitors (which often weigh 10-12 kg).

In practical terms, this means: Easier lifting (with the lift system only 8kg instead of 15kg). Easier transport on a trolley.

Why people choose the Zodiac Voyager RE 4700 iQ

"The Cyclone Technology™ makes all the difference. My old robot (without a cyclone) barely vacuumed after 60 minutes. The Voyager still vacuums strongly after 150 minutes. That's real quality."
– Mr. M., 52 years old, pool 10 x 5m

"Helix brushes are worth their weight in gold. We have hard water – limescale deposits on the tiles. The Voyager scrubs it away. My old robot (simple brushes) just wiped over it."
– Family K., Pool 8 x 4m with tiles

"The lift system protects my back. I'm 58, had a herniated disc 3 years ago. Lifting 15kg out of the pool was impossible. Now the robot comes to the edge, the water drains away, and I lift 8kg. That works."
– Mr. S., 58 years old

"The iAquaLink™ app is great. I start the robot from the office (when it's already in the pool). When I get home, the pool is clean. That's convenience."
– Mr. T., 45 years old, tech enthusiast

"Zodiac is the brand I trust. Pool cleaners since 1958 – that's experience. The Voyager RE 4700 iQ is proven technology, not a marketing experiment."
– Couple from Baden-Württemberg

Frequently Asked Questions – Honest Answers

Q: Is the Voyager RE 4700 iQ sufficient for my 12 x 6m pool?
A: Yes, that's exactly the maximum size. A 150-minute cycle (floor + walls + waterline) is sufficient for this size.

Q: How much better is Cyclone Technology™ really?
A: Measurably better. Without a cyclone: ​​Suction power drops from 100% to approximately 40% (with a full filter). With a cyclone: ​​Suction power remains at 95-100%. This isn't marketing – it's physics.

Q: Will helix brushes damage my foil?
A: No, helix brushes are suitable for foils. They are more thorough than simple brushes, but not so hard that they will scratch the foil.

Q: Can I start the robot via the app when it's underwater?
A: No. Wi-Fi doesn't work underwater. Solution: Activate the lift system (robot reaches the surface) → Wi-Fi is established → app works. Or: Robot is already on the surface (e.g., on the charging station) → start it directly via the app.

Q: How often do I need to clean the filters?
A: After each cleaning cycle (90 or 150 minutes), remove both filter baskets (150 μm + 60 μm), rinse them with a garden hose, and reinsert them. This takes 3 minutes.

Q: Does the Voyager also work with L-shaped pools?
A: Conditionally. Pre-programmed paths are optimized for rectangular/oval pools. For L-shaped pools: The robot cleans the main area, but the corner of the L may not be completely covered. For L-shaped pools: The Vortex PRO 4WD (with remote control) is a better choice.

Q: Is the transport cart really necessary?
A: No, but it's very practical. You can also carry the robot (8 kg). But with a transport trolley: lift it out of the pool, place it on the trolley, and roll it. This saves your back, especially on longer walks to the storage location.
