Enjoying your in-ground or above-ground pool is a favorite past time during the hot summer months. In order to keep your pool water clean and fresh, you must properly maintain your pool by cleaning the skimmers and filters, adding the proper chemicals, and vacuuming the bottom and sides of the pool. One tool that can save you time and work is an automatic or robotic pool cleaner.
Automatic pool vacuums roll around the bottom and sides of your pool vacuuming up all the dirt, leaves, and debris that has accumulated in your pool. This allows you to spend more time relaxing in your pool than working on your pool.
When looking to purchase an automatic pool cleaner, there are several things that you need to be aware of:
- Is the cleaner battery powered or does it need to be plugged in?
- Does the filter have its own on-board filter or does it attach to the pools vacuum system?
- Does it climb the walls of the pool to clean or does it only clean on the pool floor?
