Abstract

An automatic pool cleaner (10), comprising a pump unit (230), a control unit (280) and a sensor (60), the sensor (60) configured to detect foreign objects in the pool. The control unit (280) configured to activate the pump unit (230) at a first power level which is less then full power when a foreign object is not detected by the sensor (60), and further configured to activate the pump unit (230) at a second power level, which is greater than the first power level, in response to a signal from the sensor unit (150) indicating the detection of a foreign object.
