Abstract
A system for stowing a swimming pool cleaner robot in a location has a deployment piston connected to the robot and suitable for moving in a pipe of the swimming pool. The system also has a device to generate extra pressure in the pipe during a cleaning stage during which the swimming pool is cleaned by the robot in such a manner as to drive the deployment piston to a first position in the pipe; and a device to generate suction in the pipe during a filtering stage during which the water of the swimming pool is filtered, while the robot is inactive in such a manner as to suck the deployment piston to a second position in the pipe, making it possible for the robot to be stowed in the location.
