Having a swimming-pool can be mean many hours of leisure or many hours or hard work. While many people dream of having a swimming pool, most fail to measure the pros and cons of owning a pool. One consideration of having your own pool is the issue of cleaning. In fact, pool cleaning could be a tedious and extensive process, and people often hire someone else to handle that chore.
However, there are other ways of cleaning your pool besides hiring a professional. We will discuss swimming pool cleaners, which can clean your pool easily and efficiently. In fact, there are different types and sizes of pool cleaners available on the market.
Different kinds of swimming pool cleaners:
Swimming Pool Cleaners can be divided into three types: Manual, Vacuum and Pressure Cleaners. Swimming pool vacuum cleaners can be manual or automated. Manualswimming pool cleaners rely on you to operate them to remove debris from the pool.The vacuum is attached to the end of a pole and the pool is vacuumed row by row. Automated vacuum swimming pool cleaners work with your filter to remove dirt and debris. These cleaners are attached to a suction line of the pool, either in the skimmer or a dedicated line in the side of the pool, and dirt is captured by your filter. The filter is removed and washed off with a hose to keep it clean and functioning optimally. Pressure pool cleaners rely on pressure to drive the pool cleaner. Often dirt is collected in a bag on top of the cleaner and a tail moves dirt around to allow the filter to remove the finer particles. The bag will require emptying periodically.
Each method has some advantages and some difficulties. Manual vacuums require your time and effort to clean the pool whereas automated vacuum pool cleaners run while the pump is on. Vacuum pool cleaners often use a leaf canister to remove leaves, and will require emptying when full. Pressure driven cleaners will require emptying of the bag and cleaning of the filter similar to vacuum pool cleaners.
Automatic pool cleaners, either the vacuum or pressure type, often will get caught on the main drain, light, ladder or get caught in a corner. Some have backup valves to help resolve these issues. When building a pool always make sure that there are no sharp corners, which will help minimize these issues.
