1. A pool cleaning robot, comprising:
- a main housing configured to be submerged in a pool;
a propulsion unit within the main housing configured to move the pool cleaning robot along a pool surface;
one or more germicidal light sources positioned on a bottom of the main housing such that light generated from the one or more germicidal light sources pass outside of the main housing through the bottom of the main housing, the one or more germicidal light sources configured to disinfect at least a portion of a pool surface by permitting the light generated from the one or more germicidal light sources to pass to the pool surface outside of the main housing; and
a power unit configured to power at least the propulsion unit and the one or more germicidal light sources.

12. A pool cleaning robot, comprising:
-
a main housing configured to be submerged in a pool having a bottom side configured to be adjacent to a pool surface; a propulsion unit within the main housing configured to move the pool cleaning robot along the pool surface; an elongated transparent fused quartz tube attached to the bottom of the main housing; a short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light emitting source, configured to emit a germicidal light to disinfect at least a portion of the pool surface, housed in an air tight environment within the elongated transparent fused quartz tube; a pump unit, including; an inlet in the bottom of the main housing, configured to intake water; and a pump motor configured to pump water from the pool through the inlet; and a power unit configured to power the propulsion unit, the short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light emitting source, and the pump unit. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
