Pool Cleaner Review

A clean pool is a safer pool.  If you are currently a pool owner and you manually clean your own pool, it is likely that you know that it can be a long and difficult process. In the amount of time that it may take you to manually clean your pool, there are probably a million other things that you can be doing.

That's where automatic pool cleaners come in.  However, deciding on the best pool cleaning equipment can be a daunting task because of all the good choices available.  To understand the benefits of an automatic pool cleaner, you must first learn how they operate. 

First, there are three main types of automatic cleaners. They are:

• Pressure Cleaners
• Suction Cleaners
• Robotic Cleaning Systems

While all types of automatic pool cleaners will help to keep your pool clean, they work in different ways.  Before making a decision as to which type of automatic pool cleaner you would like to purchase, it's good to quickly familiarize yourself with each.

Pressure Pool Cleaners

Automatic pressure cleaners often work in a way that is similar to a pressure washer, and are hooked up to the pressure side of your pool's plumbing system. This is the side that is returning filtered water to your pool. With these cleaners, high pressure water is used to stir, mix, and bring dirt and debris up from the bottom of the pool floor. Once this debris has been brought up to the surface of the water, it then can be removed through the pool’s filter. Popular brands include:

• Polaris
• Letro

Suction Pool Cleaners

Suction side cleaners, work in a way that is similar to a traditional vacuum cleaner. Special hoses attach to your pool's plumbing on the suction side, usually at the pool skimmer, creating suction that is used to lift dirt and debris up from the bottom of the pool. These hoses may then be connected to the pool’s filtration system. Popular brands include:

• Hayward
• Polaris
• Kreepy Krauly
• Dirt Devil
• Manta Ray
• Baracuda

Robotic Pool Cleaning Systems

Robotic cleaners are vacuums that have their own filter bags and can operate without the assistance of a pool’s filtration system.  They are self-contained units that you put in the pool when they are needed. Some models swim around randomly, while others can be programmed to follow a specific pattern.

Although robotic cleaners tend to cost more than other pool cleaners, they can also end up saving you money in the long run because they don't require you to run your pool's filtration system. Top robotic cleaners include Aquabot, Aquavac, and Dolphin.

Popular brands include:

• Smartpool
• Aquavac
• Aquabot
• Dolphin

Whether you are manually cleaning your own pool or hiring a professional, you are advised to at least consider purchasing an automatic pool cleaner.  After you take the time to examine the pool cleaners that are available for purchase, you may start wondering why you waited so long to get one.
