Dolphin S300i - "Regular" vs. "Ultra Clean" - what's the difference?

[Auburn02]

So my S300i has 4 cleaning modes - Regular, Floor Only, Fast Mode Ultra Clean, and Water Line.

Regular "Cleans the floor, walls and waterline" and Ultra Clean "Cleans the floor, walls and waterline extra carefully." What does that even mean? They are both 2.0 Hr runtimes, so it's not even like it just runs for longer to ensure it didn't miss anything. Does anyone know how it performs any differently to clean "extra carefully?" Maybe it kicks the motor(s?) up to a higher RPM for a higher suction rate is all I can come up with, so it might use more energy and put more wear on the machine in that case, otherwise for the same runtime why not just do Ultra Clean all the time?

02,

I suspect that the main difference is "Marketing"...

Thanks,

I asked the same thing, and Maytronics said it spends more time on the floor and less time on the walls/waterline vs the regular clean. Marketing hype...

I thought I saw somewhere that in Ultra clean, the unit moves more slowly.
