Keeping a clean pool can be a major chore. Manual cleaners and vacuums can do a terrific job cleaning your pool, but they are time consuming if you clean your pool yourself. Another DIY option is an auto pool cleaner. There are several types of auto pool cleaners that can reduce the manual labor needed to keep your pool clean, including robotic, suction and pressure models. But there are issues that can occur with these auto pool cleaners. Knowing the limits of these devices can help you determine whether they are the right option for your pool cleaning needs.
Cleaning Ability
An auto pool cleaner can help reduce the amount of the manual cleaning needed and reduce strain on the pool filtration systems. They collect and remove debris and can help keep a pool maintained. However, they do not all scrub the walls and there are areas they do not reach that will still need manual cleaning.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Auto pool cleaners can help reduce the amount of time you spend cleaning your pool, but they do need maintenance and repairs. Common issues that occur can include the hose becoming tangled, clogged filters, clogged pumps and broken parts. Auto pool cleaners are one more piece of equipment that will need maintenance and repairs as part of the upkeep of your pool.
While auto cleaners can be effective, manual cleaning is still needed for areas they do not reach and for scrubbing the walls. A pool service can be another way to keep your pool clean without spending hours of your free time each week. Talk to your local pool service about options in auto pool cleaners and ongoing pool service to decide which would be better for your needs.
