BWT F1 Sonic Plus Robotic Pool Cleaner

Unlimited runtime, no battery anxiety. 4L dual-layer filtration, ultrasonic SmartSensor navigation and full app scheduling.

Physically Stocked, unlike most 'drop-shipping' websites.
Shipped from VIC, NSW, QLD, WA

The F1 Sonic Plus takes the Sonic platform and runs it on continuous mains power instead of a battery. No charging window, no runtime limit and no battery to replace in three years - useful for larger pools, heavy leaf seasons or where the robot needs to run on a schedule without anyone remembering to dock it.

Three brushless motors drive it, two for traction and one for the pump, and ultrasonic SmartSensor plus gyroscope navigation handles beach entries and irregular pool shapes.

Key Features

Unlimited runtime - no charging needed, no battery anxiety
Powerful circulation - high flow suction performance
Double filtration - dual-layer baskets capture large debris and fine particles
Smart app control - customised routine, vacation mode, scheduling, manual control and real-time status
Customised routine - define your preferred cleaning path and duration
Vacation mode - keeps the pool clean while you are away
Schedule cleaning - set automatic cleaning times
Beach entry detection included
Professional modern design - minimalist industrial look

To the layperson, plumbing sizes and their names can be confusing due to the nominal sizes and naming conventions used.

This is not something we made up. Plumbers and manufacturers have used nominal (meaning ‘by name only’) sizing for decades.

Simply put, in plumbing, named sizes are often not the actual measurements of the pipe, fitting, or part. A PVC pipe called “50mm” or “2"” does not measure 50 mm anywhere. Instead, it follows nominal sizing, an internationally-standardised naming system.

Almost all fittings we use in the pool & spa industry use “pressure PVC” pipe & fittings. Do not confuse with “DWV” or other pipe & fittings and their names and sizes.

Use the Outside Diameter (OD) to check your pipe against fittings. Below is a quick reference for common spa & pool pipe sizes:

Imperial Name	Metric Name	Pipe Diameter (OD)
1/2"	15mm	~21.2–21.5 mm
3/4"	20mm	~26.6–26.9 mm
1"	25 mm	~33.4–33.7 mm
1.5"	40 mm	~48.1–48.4 mm
2"	50 mm	~60.2–60.8 mm
2.5"	65 mm	~75.2–75.5 mm

To reiterate, these are nominal sizes and are designed to fit matching fittings — not to measure what their name suggests. These are based on PVC Pressure Pipe AS/NZ 1477 Dimensions^1.

º Internal diameters vary slightly by manufacturer and class.
¹ Not all pool/spa fittings match these dimensions exactly. Some do not follow Australian or international standards. Chinese spas may use proprietary fittings.

Understanding Plumbing Sizes & Nominal Measurements

Plumbing sizes can be confusing. PVC and many other pipe systems use nominal sizes—the size is a name, not the exact measured dimension. This convention is used across most pool and spa systems and other plumbing areas so that pipes and fittings remain compatible.

Quick example: A 2" / 50 mm fitting is named for the pipe it connects to, but the pipe’s actual outside diameter (OD) is approx. 60.3 mm (typically ~60.2–60.5 mm in AS/NZ pressure pipe).

Another example: a 2” / 50mm o-ring may refer to a barrel union, etc that suits 50mm pipe. Eg: a “50mm Balboa Gasket” refers to a heater gasket that measure 74mm across, but suits a Balboa barrel union made for 50mm pipe (and the 50mm pipe does not measure 50mm either!)

Why pipe sizes don’t match the measurements

The Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) system standardises pipe dimensions so that pipes, fittings, valves, and accessories interoperate.

Plumbers work with these nominal names every day, but DIYers can be tripped up if they try to match by a tape-measure alone.

How to Measure Pipe Correctly

Pipe size is identified by:
- The pipe’s Outside Diameter (OD).
- The fitting’s Inside Diameter (ID) (socket opening).
Pipe Class / Schedule (e.g., Class 9, 12, 18 or Sch 40) relates to wall thickness and therefore the Internal Diameter (ID) and pressure rating.
The outside diameter of a fitting is not useful (wall thickness varies by manufacturer).

Important: For pool/spa work, most plumbing uses Pressure Pipe (AS/NZ standards) — not DWV. Always check OD and the pipe class against your equipment specifications.

Hose & Tube Dimensions

Common flexible hose sizes used in pool/spa systems (approximate IDs).

Imperial Name	Metric Name	Inside Diameter (ID)
3/8"	9–10 mm	~9 mm
3/4"	19 mm	~19 mm

BSP – British Standard Pipe Thread Sizes

BSP thread names are also nominal. The thread OD will not equal the nominal name.

BSP Thread Size Naming	Outside Diameter (mm / inch)	TPI
1/16" BSP	7.7 mm / 0.304"	28
1/8" BSP	9.7 mm / 0.383"	28
1/4" BSP	13.16 mm / 0.518"	19
3/8" BSP	16.66 mm / 0.656"	19
1/2" BSP / 15 mm	20.99 mm / 0.825"	14
5/8" BSP	22.99 mm / 0.902"	14
3/4" BSP / 20 mm	26.44 mm / 1.041"	14
7/8" BSP	30.20 mm / 1.189"	14
1" BSP / 25 mm	33.25 mm / 1.309"	11
1-1/4" BSP	41.91 mm / 1.650"	11
1-1/2" BSP / 40 mm	47.80 mm / 1.882"	11
2" BSP / 50 mm	59.61 mm / 2.347"	11
2-1/4" BSP	65.71 mm / 2.587"	11
2-1/2" BSP	75.18 mm / 2.960"	11
3" BSP	87.88 mm / 3.460"	11
4" BSP	113.03 mm / 4.450"	11
5" BSP	138.43 mm / 5.450"	11
6" BSP	163.83 mm / 6.450"	11
