Spending a beautiful day cleaning the pool is not one of the things high on my list of pleasures. Luckily for us pool owners, others have felt the same way and invented nifty devices to perform this task for us. If you’re in the market for an automatic pool cleaner there are a few things you should know before running out to your local pool store and picking up one of these handy creatures. There are three basic types of pool cleaners and not all are created equal.
While any automatic pool cleaner will make life easier, the right pool cleaner can save you time and money.
Suction side and pressure side pool cleaners both use the swimming pools’ filtration system to operate. While some pressure side pool cleaners use a booster pump to enhance their cleaning abilities, it is still necessary that the pool pump be running while they are in use. Almost all of these two type cleaners use a random cleaning pattern and spend a great deal of their time re visiting areas of the pool they have already cleaned , All that wasted time makes it necessary for the cleaner to operate longer in order to cover all areas of the pool.
An automatic suction side cleaner is like your old manual pool vacuum minus the pole. It moves around the pool, vacuuming up debris while you sit back in the chair waiting for it to get hung up on something. Hey that’s what you can use your old pole for.
Pressure side cleaners operate off the return or pressure side of the swimming pools’ filtering system. Many of these cleaners have wheels that are driven by a water powered motor, others use the water pressure like a jet propulsion system. Pressurized water is forced up through a venturi creating a suction on the bottom of the cleaner. A bag is attached to the top of the cleaner to capture any debris that it sucks up. Since water flows through the cleaner this type helps to circulate pool water a little more effectively than a suction type cleaner.
Robotic pool cleaners run off electricity and are completely independent of the pool filtration system.Now you’re probably thinking, electricity and water!! There’s a combination that could make for an interesting afternoon!! Not the case, they use a transformer to reduce the voltage to 24 volts. Still it necessary to keep swimmers out of the pool while the robot performs it’s task. Robotic pool cleaners have their own pumps, drive mechanisms and filtration systems built right in. Many of these cleaners also have some sort of guidance system incorporated in them to more effectively cover all the pool surfaces without re visiting already cleaned areas as often as random type cleaners.
