Automatic Pool Cleaner Overview
Suction Side Cleaners:
This is the most familiar type of cleaner to most consumers and the most popular type. A suction cleaner works off your pool's existing pump and is attached to the skimmer or a side/ vacuum port in your pool. Depending on the pool and type of debris, this can be the most cost-effective cleaner for you. Most suction-side cleaners retail for $500 or less.
The suction side cleaner is the most popular on my pool route as it is affordable and effective, and there are a lot of different models to choose from. In most cases, I suggest an excellent suction side cleaner since they are also easy to set up and easy to repair when something breaks.

Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaners VS Corded Robotic Pool Cleaners
Просмотров 55115 часов назад
Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaners Cordless robotic pool cleaners represent the convenience of modern technology. Their primary advantage lies in their ease of use. Without the constraint of a power cord, these cleaners can move freely throughout the pool, unhindered by tangling or needing to stay within a specific range of a power outlet. This mobility simplifies the cleaning process and ensures t...
Common Swimming Pool Misconceptions

There are many misconceptions about swimming pools, and many are still believed today. I cover a few to separate fact from fiction in this podcast recording. Many still believe their Salt Water Generator (SWG) is a chlorine-free pool. The process is quite complex, but the SWG will convert the salt into chlorine. A saltwater generator produces chlorine through a process called electrolysis. In t...

Controlling and Adjusting pH in a Swimming Pool

RMany things can cause the pH to rise in your pool. A Saltwater generator produces a byproduct that causes the pH to increase rapidly. Any spa spillway or water feature will cause the pH to rise through aeration. The pool surface in itself can cause the pH to rise. High Alkalinity in the pool can cause the pH to stay high. pH is the most critical test factor for your swimming pool, and if it ge...

Borates: The Borate in the water at 50 ppm helps reduce chlorine usage by eliminating Carbon Dioxide and keeping the pH stable. Chlorine lasts longer when the pH is right at 7.6-7.8. When the chlorine is in the ideal range, the killing element in chlorine, the HOCI, is at the most balanced percentage, so the chlorine in a pool with a pH of 7.4 is 30% more effective than in a pool with a pH of 8...

    Its garbage. The weight of the batteries will snap the 1/16 inch thick adapter on your first or second use. The batteries cost 14 dollars and die after 1.5 hours of use. Its not returnable to the store, and the manufacturer never answers the phone. Not to mention the exhaust for suction points down and rustles up everything you want to vacuum. It deserves a negative 5 stars.

      Almost every cleaner with a cord has a swivel for anti-tangle. It's not a problem with any Polaris, Dolphin, or BWT cleaner. Many pressure cleaner owners go to a robot since you are used to the 2 hour cleaning cycle.
