         2 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid conduit is connected between a seal adaptor and a bottom jet unit nozzle. 
     
     
         3 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 2 , wherein the bottom jet unit nozzle extends from the housing bottom fluid jet outlet. 
     
     
         4 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , comprising an inner housing for storing electrical components and one or more motors, wherein the bottom fluid jet unit comprises a mechanical adaptor for attaching the fluid pump to the inner housing. 
     
     
         5 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottom fluid jet unit comprises a mechanical adaptor for attaching the fluid pump to the inner housing, wherein the mechanical adaptor is detachably coupled to the fluid pump. 
     
     
         6 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , comprising an inner housing that comprises a bottom surface and legs that extend from the bottom surface to the housing bottom, wherein at least a portion of the fluid conduit and the bottom fluid jet outlet are located between the bottom surface and the housing bottom. 
     
     
         7 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 5 , wherein the inner housing further comprises a bottom protrusion, wherein the fluid conduit follows a non-linear path within a space formed by the housing bottom, the bottom protrusion and the bottom surface. 
     
     
         8 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid conduit comprises a first segment, a second segment that is downstream to the first segment and a third segment that is downstream to the second segment, wherein the third segment is curved and has an outlet that is lower than the first segment and the second segment. 
     
     
         9 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , comprising a fluid pump float located above the fluid pump. 
     
     
         10 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 9 , comprising an additional float. 
     
     
         11 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , comprising a sensor for sensing that the pool cleaning robot goes downstairs and wherein the controller is configured to control an outputting of the fluid jet from the bottom jet outlet when the pool cleaning robot goes downstairs. 
     
     
         12 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid pump comprises a fluid inlet at a top of the fluid pump. 
     
     
         13 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 1 , wherein the fluid pump comprises an additional fluid jet generation and distribution unit for generating one or more another fluid jets and outputting the one or more other fluid jets from locations that differ from the bottom of the housing. 
     
     
         14 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 13 , wherein additional fluid jet generation and distribution unit is independent from the bottom fluid jet unit. 
     
     
         15 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 13 , wherein the additional fluid jet generation and distribution unit is configured to selectively output the one or more other fluid jets from opening located at an upper portion of the pool cleaning robot. 
     
     
         16 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 13 , wherein the additional fluid jet generation and distribution unit comprises a rotating nozzle configured to distribute the one or more other fluid jets through additional fluid outlets. 
     
     
         17 . The pool cleaning robot according to  claim 13 , wherein the additional fluid jet generation and distribution unit is configured to propel the pool cleaning unit using the one or more other fluid jets.
