Still looking for a gift for that swimming pool owner in your life who has everything? How about an automatic swimming pool cleaner. The pool contractors from Advanced Pool Care in Memphis, Tennessee have tips on how to choose an automatic pool cleaner. These devices keep the pool cleaner between pool service contractor visits and keep your free time free for swimming — not working!
A wonderful swimming pool upgrade is to add an automatic pool cleaner. You can have an automatic pool cleaner installed during the pool construction project, as part of an upgrade or remodel, or as a stand alone project. Talk with your pool contractor from Advanced Pool Care and find out the costs and complexity of the project for your unique pool type and style.
Depending on the climate in which you live, you may be blessed enough to use your pool almost year-round. If you hire a pool contractor to do pool maintenance you’ve already taken the steps to keep your pool water clean and clear. When you install an automatic pool cleaner you may cut back on the costs of pool maintenance and you will certainly cut back on the time it takes you to clean the pool between visits.
The area in which your pool is located — in a shaded area, for example — can mean you’re continually cleaning up leaves and other debris. An automatic pool cleaner, in that case, will be an ideal option for the pool owner in your life. In addition to dirt and debris in your pool, falling leaves or other tree-related items can clog the filter and can even lead to discoloration of the bottom of the pool. Debris in the water will also put the pool water chemistry out of balance.
How to choose an automatic pool cleaner
There are many types of pool cleaning devices available — hand held, in-pool auto cleaners and those that look like the in-house automatic cleaners — the Roomba. In some cases, pool owners don’t want to take the time necessary to slowly use the handheld vacuum across the pool floor — especially if their free time is limited. This is a task the pool owner leaves up to the pool contractor with whom they’ve contracted.
The answer to not having to be too actively involved in between-service visit cleanings is the use of the automatic pool cleaner. The robotic pool cleaner is easier to use and is usually less expensive to purchase and doesn’t require a pool construction project.
Robotic pool cleaner benefits include:
- Ease of installation
- Complete pool cleaning including scrubbing and the application of cleaning chemicals
- Independence from cleaning
- Lower price point
