The Zodiac Freerider FR350 iQ is the newest of the three entry-level Freeriders. It is built to the entry-level specification – two motors, 180 micron standard filtration and a 2-year warranty – but it is the entry model to pick if your pool is long, because it carries the largest pool rating in the range at 15 x 5 metres and the longest cycle at three hours. It uses smart S-pattern navigation guided by sensors rather than a random path, so it covers the pool methodically instead of hoping to bump into every corner. An optional 3 micron ultra-fine filter is available for dust and pollen.

Where the FR350 iQ sits: entry level. It is built to the entry-level specification – two motors, 180µ standard filtration and a 2-year warranty. What it does have is the longest cycle and the largest pool rating in the range, so it is the entry model to pick if your pool is long. It is still an entry-level machine. For dual-stage 150/60µ filtration step up to the mid-range FR800 iQ, and for three motors, four cleaning modes, cyclonic suction, Tap & Lift retrieval and a 3-year / 1200-hour motor block warranty go to the top-of-the-range FR1000 iQ or FR2000 iQ.

Specifications

Compare the Zodiac Freerider Range

Every Freerider is cordless, battery powered and runs independently of your pool pump and filter. The range is built in three levels. The higher the level, the more the robot does: more cleaning modes, better filtration, more motors, more ways to get it out of the water and, at the top, a longer warranty.

• Entry level – FR200, FR350 iQ, FR500 iQ. The affordable end of the range. Single-stage standard filtration and a 2-year warranty. They clean well on the right size pool, but they are the basic models.
• Mid range – FR800 iQ. The step up from entry level: true dual-stage 150/60µ filtration and a choice of cleaning modes, on the same body as the FR500 iQ.
• Top of the range – FR1000 iQ, FR2000 iQ. The best Freeriders Zodiac makes. Larger 12 x 6m pool rating, three motors, four cleaning modes, 4 L dual-stage 150/60µ filtration, a longer 2.5-hour cycle and a 3-year / 1200-hour motor block warranty. If you want the best robot in the range, buy one of these.

Warranty shown is the motor block period. Pool sizes are Zodiac’s published maximums – pick a model that covers your pool in a single cycle so the battery is not the limiting factor. Not sure? Talk to our SpaPro team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the Freerider FR350 iQ sit in the Zodiac Freerider range?

Entry level. It has the longest cycle and the largest pool rating in the range, but it is built to the entry-level specification: two motors, 180 micron standard filtration and a 2-year warranty. The mid-range FR800 iQ adds dual-stage 150/60 micron filtration and mode choice. The top-of-the-range FR1000 iQ and FR2000 iQ add a third motor, four cleaning modes, cyclonic suction, Tap & Lift retrieval and a 3-year / 1200-hour motor block warranty.

What size pool does the Zodiac Freerider FR350 iQ suit?

Zodiac rates the FR350 iQ for in-ground pools up to 15 x 5 metres – the largest pool rating anywhere in the Freerider range, including the models above it in price. Its three-hour cycle is what makes that possible.

Why is the FR350 iQ rated for a bigger pool than the FR800 iQ or FR1000 iQ?

Because it is a different generation of hardware with a larger 10.4 Ah battery and a three-hour cycle. Pool rating is not the same as build level. The FR350 iQ is still an entry-level robot: two motors, 180 micron standard filtration, one filter stage and a 2-year warranty. The mid-range FR800 iQ adds dual-stage 150/60 micron filtration and a second cleaning mode, and the top-of-the-range FR1000 iQ and FR2000 iQ add a third motor, four cleaning modes, cyclonic suction, Tap & Lift retrieval and a 3-year / 1200-hour motor block warranty.

What is the 3 micron ultra-fine filter?

It is an optional extra filter that works with the standard 180µ canister to trap very fine material – dust, pollen and dead algae – that a normal robot filter passes straight through. It is worth having if your pool sits under trees or gets a lot of airborne dust. Note that the ultra-fine filter is excluded from the wearable parts warranty.

Does the FR350 iQ need a buoyancy kit?

Only in fully tiled pools. Zodiac supplies the buoyancy kit with the cleaner and recommends fitting it for optimal behaviour on tiles. On concrete, pebblecrete, quartzon, fibreglass and vinyl it is not needed.

Does the Freerider connect to my pool pump or filter?

No. Every Freerider is fully cordless and self-contained. It runs on its own lithium-ion battery and collects debris in its own canister, so it does not touch your pump, filter, skimmer or suction line. That also means it uses far less energy than a hydraulic cleaner.

Do you actually stock these?

Yes. We are a physically stocked retailer with warehouses in VIC, NSW, QLD and WA and a showroom at Carrum Downs – not a drop-shipper. We are also an Authorised Fluidra (Astralpool / Zodiac) Dealer and Warranty Agent, and we carry more Zodiac spare parts than anyone. WWDG
