A pool can be a great asset in the warmer months, providing a venue for family fun and activities such as barbecuing or just a place to rest and relax. However, in order to keep the pool attractive, it should be completely clean and neat. Debris will constantly find its way into your pool, especially if you have trees in your yard. Leaves, grass and other debris can make your pool look neglected and unattractive, but can also clog filters or pumps potentially causing equipment failure. Ineffective cleaning tools have caused pool owners a great deal of frustration, which is why many people are now looking to automatic pool cleaners.

Types of Pool Cleaners

Manual Tools & Pool Vacuums

There are a variety of tools and equipment available to help homeowners clean their pools. Manual tools include hand held nets and mesh baskets which can prove to be irritating, ineffective and time consuming. Some devices such as hand held vacuums can be back breaking to use and many simply move the debris around the water, allowing it to settle later.

Suction & Pressure Pool Cleaners

Suction cleaners are less labor intensive but don’t scrub to remove tougher debris such as algae.  Pressure cleaners require a specialist pump to be installed. This can be very costly to install in established pools and they are also unable to scrub the surfaces of the pool.

Automatic Pool Cleaners

These devices remove particles which contaminate your pool to keep the water hygienic and clean. There are a number of benefits of owning an automatic pool cleaner, the most common are below.
