Four Types of Automatic Pool Cleaners
Suction
The first type of cleaner is the suction design. These automatic pool cleaners are simple to operate and the least expensive. They attach to the suction area of the pool’s circulation system. They move around the pool randomly while sucking up debris. One of the problems with these automatic pool cleaners is that they may not clean all areas because they move around randomly.
Pressure
One of the next types of automatic pool cleaners is the pressure design. These cleaners use high pressure water to remove debris from the bottom of the pool. After the debris rises to the surface, it can be removed by the pool’s filter. These automatic pool cleaners also have their own filter that can catch debris. This will reduce the workload of your pool’s filter and allow it to last longer.
In-Floor
There are also in-floor cleaners. These are the most expensive automatic pool cleaners that you can buy. This cleaning system use water jets located all around the pool. When you turn the system on, the jets produce high pressure water that moves debris towards the pool’s drain. Their expensive lies in the fact that these automatic pool cleaners must be custom made for each individual pool. However, they are fully automatic, so there is no work required on your part in order to keep the pool clean.
Robotic
One of the final types of automatic pool cleaners is the robotic design. Unlike other designs, these cleaners don’t use your pool’s circulation system in order to operate. They are plugged into a standard electrical outlet, so they have to have long cords to ensure they can reach all areas in the pool. You can even program them to remember the size and shape of your pool. These automatic pool cleaners can also be operated by a remote control, so you can simply operate the cleaner while standing on the side of the pool.
These are the different types of automatic pool cleaners. Suction designs are the least expensive, but they move around randomly and may not clean all areas of the pool. In-floor automatic pool cleaners are the most expensive, but they require no work on your part because they are fully automatic.
