Choosing an Automatic Pool Cleaner for your Pool: Suction, Pressure or a Robotic Cleaner
There
are three types of cleaners to choose from for your pool care needs.
Prices start as low as $100 and if you want the top of the line
cleaner with all the bells and whistles you can spend over $1500. So
there is a cleaner for everyone's budget and in this Podcast I go
over the choices between a Suction side, Pressure side and Robotic
Pool Cleaner.
Robotic
Cleaners:

Some
of the benefits of a Robotic Cleaner are:
It
runs independent from your pool system which means your filtration
system stays cleaner and it doesn't matter if your equipment is old
or not functioning well.
There
are no hoses to worry about and once you
are
done cleaning the pool you can remove the Robotic cleaner and store
it.
They
clean the pool very well in most cases -the more expensive models
will even clean the tile
line.
The negative factors are a high price point in most cases and the need to send it out for service vs fixing any problems yourself. Most now come with at least a 2 year warranty so that is not a deal breaker. They are highly reliable and effective pool cleaners.
Pressure
Side and Return Side Cleaners:

I
have several pressure cleaners on my pool route and they leave the
pools spotless each week. If you are having your pool built or
remodeled maybe consider a Pressure Cleaner.
The
Return Side cleaner is a great option if you have a newer pool with 1
1/2" threaded return lines. This cleaner connects right into
your existing return lines and works much like a Pressure cleaner
with the exception that no booster pump is needed. I have these on
several accounts and love them.
The only major drawback is that since you need to restrict one or more return jets to generate sufficient pressure the skimming action of the pool is reduced. It is not a deal breaker but something to be aware of. So if you have lots of large debris in your pool and think a Pressure Side cleaner would work, try a non-booster pump Return side cleaner as an alternative to remodeling your pool.
Suction Side Cleaners:

The Suction side cleaner is the one most popular on my pool route as they are affordable, effective and there are a lot of different models to chose from. In most cases I will suggest a good suction side cleaner since they are also easy to set up and easy to repair when something breaks.
