Things to consider before buying a cleaner

Before explaining what are the types of existing devices to clean the bottom of your pool, you must take into account a number of factors:

1. How is the surface to be cleaned ?: You must analyze the material with which the floor has been manufactured and choose accordingly. In addition, if you also want to use it on walls, you should take a look at its technical data sheet to see if they offer this option. It is generally only available for hydraulic and electric models, which we'll talk about later.

2. What shape is your pool ?: The cleaner that you should use for a square pool is not the same as for a round pool or with rounded corners. Keep this in mind and always choose a model that has the appropriate accessories.

3. What is the pool ladder like ?: Ask yourself if the ladder is built, in which case you will find a manual or battery-powered cleaner better, or if they are attached to the edge. In the latter case, an automatic robot will be your best option.

Beyond this, you should also take into account, before choosing a specific model, the depth and type of construction used in your pool. In fact, the ideal would be that, if you have not yet built it, you would have in anticipation everything that we have discussed before to know that you can choose a fully effective cleaner that fully meets your needs. Do not forget to choose one with an antibacterial filter as this will save you a lot of maintenance work and reduce risks.

The first thing you need to know before choosing a device with these characteristics is that there are two different types. Are these:

Clean manual background

It is the most affordable option, but at the same time, the most uncomfortable since it requires time and effort. In addition, when using it, the pool loses water that you will have to replace. You should also know how to attach your brushes to the handle depending on the type of dirt present and your hose to the suction nozzle or hose. As if that were not enough, you will have to rebalance the pH of the water after each one.

Clean automatic background

Within this category of devices to clean the floor of your pool, there are also several types:

1. Hydraulic: they take advantage of the energy given off by the purification system of the pool. They move autonomously on surfaces with little slope and planes. They usually operate by suction and their performance will depend on the power of the suction pump. This must have at least 0.75 CV of power.

2. Electric: without a doubt, the most effective and prestigious are those of Zodiac. They are programmable and totally autonomous. In fact, they do not need to be connected to the purification system, contrary to what happens with hydraulics. They stand out for being very quiet and valid to clean the floor of all types of pools. They also act on the walls. They have a filter in which dirt accumulates and must be washed regularly. They also do not adjust the chlorine or pH levels and usually have antibacterial filters.

3. Battery: they are a variant of the electric ones that can also be found in the Zodiac catalog. Its main difference is that they have a battery that, when charged, provides them with a long autonomy. Undoubtedly, they are the most suitable for maintenance of swimming pools located in elevated places or that do not have treatment plants. They are also perfect for inflatable and removable pools.

In short, you already have in your possession all the information necessary to choose the pool cleaner that best suits your pool and your needs in order to leave the water completely crystal clear. In this way, you will always be ready for the bath.
