Choosing the Right Automatic Pool Cleaner
- Choosing a pool robot can be overwhelming with so many options available. This guide is here to help! We’ll break down the key factors to consider, making it easier for you to find the perfect pool robot for your needs.
- This guide is unlike any other – we’ll cut through the confusing lingo and explain things in a way that makes sense. We’ll focus on the features that truly matter for how well the product works and how happy you’ll be with it. Here’s a surprising example: most pool robots only have mesh screens, not real filters, which means they miss small dirt particles. Let’s dive in!
Regular filtration compared to ultra-fine filtration
Most people don’t realize that the filter is essential for a pool robot to function well. If the filter isn’t good enough, it won’t trap tiny particles or algae. Regular filters, also called fine filters, aren’t effective against the most common pool problem: green algae. These filters use a sieve-like system with holes that are too big to block small debris. The cheapest pool robots, especially those sold online, typically come with this kind of basic filter. While it can handle big things like leaves, it lets all the small stuff through.
100% Easier to Clean.
The new robot takes seconds to clean, thanks to its one-handed filtration bin. Just lift the top panel, and a handle pops up for easy removal. Turn the bin over, and debris falls out effortlessly, leaving you with a clean bin in a flash. No more struggling with dirty filters or time-consuming cleanups.
Previously, cleaning these pool cleaners was a messy chore. You’d have to open two small cartridges and touch six parts, often requiring spraying them down with a hose.
The new Series robots are a game-changer. With a single, easy-to-open trap door, you can simply grab the convenient handle and empty the bin. A quick rinse with the hose takes care of any fine debris. Cleaning your robotic pool cleaner has never been easier!
The Chemistry Behind a Sparkling Home
There’s a 3rd advantage that cannot be overlooked. Polyester has a tendency to absorb oil. That’s a good thing because you don’t want sunscreen creating an oil slick on the surface of the pool or scum lines on the tile. When oil is caught in the robot’s Nanofilter, it forms a transparent sheath over the trapped debris. This gunk is then washed off when the filter is cleaned, providing a valuable method to improve turbidity and improve the transparency of the water.
Do You Need a Swivel?
Tired of wrestling with a tangled mess of cord after cleaning your pool? A robotic pool cleaner with a 360-degree swivel is the answer. This nifty feature eliminates the frustration of knotted cords, letting your cleaner move smoothly and efficiently. No more wasted time untangling – the swivel keeps the cord free and prevents tension build-up, allowing your pool cleaner to roam freely and get the job done.
