We all love a pristine, sparkling pool but it can take a lot of scrubbing and scooping to get it looking that way. If you enjoy the look of clear water (who doesn’t?) but aren’t keen on the amount of effort that goes into it, an automatic pool cleaner could be the perfect solution. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of investing in an automatic pool cleaner.
Types of automatic pool cleaners
There are two main types of automatic pool cleaners – suction cleaners and robotic cleaners. Suction cleaners attach to your skimmer box and rely on the power of your pump to randomly move around the bottom and sides of your pool. The debris goes to your skimmer box and then through your pump to the filter. Robot pool cleanersare essentially an automatic pool vacuum that uses advanced technology to clean the sides, steps, and bottom of your pool. They operate independently of the pool’s filtration system.
Benefits of suction pool cleaners
Cost-effective – One of the main benefits of a suction pool cleaner is that they’re relatively easy on the budget and the initial outlay won’t break the bank.Work well with most debris – Suction cleaners are particularly effective with finer debris, such as smaller leaves and sentiment. However, larger leaves and gum nuts are often problematic for a suction cleaner.Can be left in the pool – Although you can certainly take your suction cleaner out of the pool, it’s fine to leave them in there which is convenient for many pool owners. Be aware though that anything left in the pool will degrade quickly if the water is not balanced and the chlorine levels are too high.
Benefits of robotic pool cleaners
Advanced technology – Robot cleaners use advanced computer technology to map the layout of the pool so there are no missed spots and no getting stuck in corners. The technology extends to timers and Apps that can control your pool robot.Energy-efficient – Robots might be more expensive initially but they tend to save you money in the long run due to them being highly energy efficient.Run independently – You don’t need to rely on your other pool equipment with your robot cleaner – just plug it in, drop it into the pool and turn it on.Highly effective – Thanks to the advanced technology of your robot, they offer superior cleaning and you’re left with crystal clear water.
