Often times it is only when someone becomes the owner of a swimming pool that they begin to understand what owning a swimming pool really entails. Among the things that separate an ordinary swimming pool from a great swimming pool are the swimming pool accessories. They play an important role, and contribute immensely to the degree of pleasure derived from your swimming pool experience.

One of the most basic of swimming pool accessories you should have, as an owner of a swimming pool, is a swimming pool cleaner. The cost of hiring a swimming pool cleaning service may be prohibitive and if the pool is a small one it may not warrant the expense for so minor a task. There are basically three types of pool cleaners to choose from, suction cleaners, pressure cleaners, and robotic cleaners. Depending on the swimming pool size each cleaner carries its own set of advantages, including speed, ease of operation, efficiency and being economical.
