One should always think twice before taking a dip in a dirty
pool. The lack of sanitary conditions of the pool water can cause illness to
the users. However, spending a few hard hours cleaning the slime, grime and
leaves is a difficult thing to do. Therefore, the easy solution is to invest in
a good pool cleaner that will allow you enjoy more time in the pool.
Before investing in a pool cleaner and some pool cleaning products, have a look at
these important tips that will help you make a wise purchase.
Do your research
before diving in
Pool cleaners are kept
in the sun and chlorine for long hours. Some
of them run a few hundred kilometres a year cleaning pools. Hence, it is
essential to choose a good pool cleaner that can withstand weather elements and
last the distance. Moreover, some pool cleaning products contain alkali and
mild acid that have potential to damage high-resistant things such as insertion rubber, fabricated foam and
so on. For this reason, you need to look for a good pool cleaner that has not
only good resistance to alkali and mild acids but also moderate resistance to
abrasion.
Decide between
suction, pressure or robotics
The most popular pool cleaners are suction, pressure and
robotics.
·
Suction
A suction cleaner is one of the most used pool cleaners,
which is attached to a hose to the
skimmer box and uses suction for the
filtration process. There are two types of suction pool cleaners including inertia driven suction cleaner and a geared
suction cleaner. Many users prefer to choose these cleaners because of their
lower cost of other pool cleaners and easy installation process.
·
Pressure cleaners
Compared to suction cleaners, pressure cleaners are more
powerful as they have an additional booster pump. This booster pump requires a
separate hosepipe in the pool wall. Since retrofitting the model is expensive,
it is advisable to look at another model if your pool does not have one. One
key benefit of choosing a pressure pool cleaner is that it can reach into tight
corners.
·
Robotic
or electric self-propelled cleaners
As robotic pool
cleaner is run on electricity, it is also
known as an automatic pool cleaner. Before buying this model, make sure that
you have a power point close to your pool. It is ideal for large pools.
