Free up weekends to do the things you love. An automatic pool cleaner will let you focus on maintaining and using your pool.

Tips for automatic pool cleaners

Your pool’s filtration system and skimmers are your first cleaning defense. However, the walls and floor of your pool also require thorough scrubbing, and debris removal.

Is this what you want to do when you could be swimming? Probably not, so try an automatic pool cleaner.

There are three types of automatic pool cleaners: suction-side, pressure-side and robotic pool cleaners.

1) Suction-side automatic pool cleaner: this cleaner uses the suction line in your pool. The suction from the pump propels the cleaner around the pool. You will need to backwash your filtration system weekly.
2) Pressure-side automatic pool cleaner: this cleaner uses an existing pressure side line to move the cleaner around your pool. The return water fuels this cleaner to run, but you will need a booster pump to do this.

To significantly reduce your cleaning time choose a robotic pool cleaner. They require a larger initial invest, but your free time is just one benefit they provide. Robotic pool cleaners have superior cleaning power over other automatic cleaners. Further benefits include:

Reduce wear on pool equipment
They do not use existing pool equipment (use a standard GFCI outlet from your home)
Lower overall power costs (energy efficient)
Pick up large and small debris in on-board filtration system
Scrub walls, floors and water line (occasionally clean stairs)
Eliminate need to scrub walls with a brush

An automatic pool cleaner will continue to be useful all summer long. No more time consuming scrubbing, means you can make the most of summer weekends; whether that is sports, travel or relaxing by the pool.
