Why Automatic Pool Cleaners Are Awesome

Friday, February 27th, 2009


Its great to have your very own swimming pool right in your backyard. There is nothing like jumping into a clear cool pool on a hot summer day. You can enjoy swimming in your backyard with privacy and comfort. Maybe you want to exercise, swimming is a great way to exercise without the mess of sweating.

But with a pool comes maintenance. You don’t want to spend all day vacuuming and cleaning your pool so that you can swim in it. It’s a pain but there is a simple solution.

What is an automatic pool cleaner and what does it do? Well its a device that literally cleans the bottom of your pool automatically. And the greatest thing is that they are affordable. They use to be expensive but technology has gotten better so now they are all competing which means you save.

Nowadays there are hundreds of different types of automatic pool cleaners that have flooded the marketplace. You can get yourself an automatic cleaner for about $50 or you could get a really nice one for about $1,000. But whats the difference.

The most popular of all the automatic pool cleaners is the pressure side cleaner. This cleaner uses the power of water pressure to blow dirt and debris off the bottom of your pool and into a bag you can later empty. Its not really a vacuum at all, its like blowing dirt on to a dust pan. But it works, thats the best part

If you choose a suction side cleaner then you use the filter skimmer to suck the debris of the bottom of your pool. It works just like when you manually vacuum your pool except it moves around by itself. I do not recommend these since they are hard to setup and don’t have an easy to empty bag.

If you can afford it, the go for the robotic pool cleaner. It has the power of a suction side cleaner with the ease of a pressure side cleaner. It literally sucks the debris off the bottom of your pool and into a bag but all using electric. It’s the best.
