A swimming pool can be cumbersome to clean, and if you pay a professional pool cleaner to come regularly, it can be expensive, too. Instead of getting a pool cleaner, it is often more cost-efficient to purchase an automated pool cleaner which can take out dirt and other debris with minimum effort on your part.

2. A swimming pool can be a chore to maintain, and if you pay a professional pool cleaner to come on a regular basis,
it can be pricey, too. As an alternative to getting a pool cleaner, it is sometimes more cost-efficient to purchase an
automated pool cleaner which can take out dirt and other debris with minimum effort on your part. There are three
common types of automatic pool cleaners used in domestic pools, and these include, pressure, robotic, and suction.
Pressure cleaners are connected to the pressure or return side of your swimming pools circulation.
The pressure coming from the return side drives
the cleaner around the pool. Pressure cleaners
don’t suck the leaves and debris into your pool
filter and this means that your pump basket will
not be overworked. They are a good choice for
pools close to trees or those that have significant
debris. However, they usually demand high
levels of flow for movement, and consequently
may require a devoted pump. They have fallen
out of favor mainly because of the substantial
cost of a dedicated pump, and the cumbersome
nature of constantly modifying return flows.
Robotic cleaners work independently from the filter and pump, and are propelled by an electric motor within the
unit. The device itself has an internal filter which traps dirt and debris. Since they are more advanced, they generally
are pricier than the other two variants. Better ones are priced at over AU$1,000. As opposed to the other two, they
also are powered by electricity. Suction cleaners are the most bought automated pool cleaners since they are more
affordable and less troublesome to use. They work as a skimmer and function together with your pumping and
filtration system. If you are considering purchasing suction pool cleaners, take a look at two products that dominate
