Automatic Pool Cleaners are a great way to clean a swimming pool and reduce long-term maintenance costs. After a long day at work, the last thing a pool owner wants to do is spend an hour cleaning up after a wind storm, a swimming dog, or the neighbor’s tree-trimming incident. Automatic Pool Cleaners are valuable investments to anyone looking to maximize the enjoyment of their swimming pool and minimize the maintenance. A clean swimming pool is more inviting and creates the backyard environment that was originally envisioned. The whole concept of the backyard swimming pool is enjoyment, not labor! There are three different types of pool cleaners on the market today. The Suction-Side Cleaner is the most energy efficient and popular cleaner available today. The Pressure Cleaner uses the pressure of pool water to remove debris to and attached bag. Finally, Robotic Cleaners are self contained units that clean the entire pool with no hoses.
The Suction-Side Cleaner
This cleaner roams the bottom of the swimming pool, gobbles up dirt and debris and traps it in the pool pump and filter system. This type of cleaner duplicates the work that a swimming pool service provides, automatically. The suction cleaner can be a challenge to set-up correctly, but the experts at PoolSupplyUnlimited are happy to provide the requested guidance. An improperly installed suction cleaner will not provide desired results. At the end of the day, a suction cleaner can reduce the amount of time spent manually vacuuming a pool. Less work = Happy Pool Owner!
The Pressure-Side Cleaner
Pressure Side cleaners benefit from huge popularity and household names such as Polaris, Letro, and Hayward. The concept uses the return line (the port that pushes water into your pool) instead of the skimmer, which is sucking water into your filter. A pressure side cleaner is designed to work with a separate booster pump or through the water returning to the pool from the pool pump. Water pressure powerfully sends water , which includes dirt and debris, into a bag instead of into the pump basket or filtration system. Pressure Cleaners are perfect for backyards that have plentiful foliage such as Oak trees, California Peppers, shedding dogs or children, etc.
The Robotic Pool Cleaner
Robotic Cleaners are quickly gaining in popularity. They do not require complicated installation instructions or extra pumps. This cleaner combines the power of a suction-side cleaner with the speed of a pressure-side cleaner. The ease of installation and use comes with a price as the Robotic Cleaner tends to be 30 to 50 percent more expensive than Suction or Pressure Cleaners. Robotic Cleaners clean the swimming pool independently and quickly which justify the extra cost to many pool owners.
Regardless of the type that is chosen, an Automatic Pool Cleaner is a valuable investment to any backyard swimming pool. They provide a clean, enjoyable swimming pool that reduces the amount of labor required for maintenance. More time and a more enjoyable backyard oasis? That sounds like a win-win!
