The 3 Kinds of Above Ground Pool Vacuum Cleaners: Picking The Right One

The Three Types

Many people often are not sure which type of above ground pool vacuum cleaner would be best for them. In this article I will explain all that you will need to know each kind so that you will be able to make an informed choice on the above ground pool vacuum that will be best for your pool setup.

You will find 3 kinds of above ground pool vacuum cleaners. They include: manual, automatic, and robotic. Each kind varies in certain unique ways. Certain ones require more effort and time compared to the others, while some are more of a simple 'set-it-and-forget-it' type. Let's look closer:

Manual Above Ground Pool Vacuum Cleaners

Manual cleaners are definitely the most affordable type. But these kind take more time, and if you consider that time is money, then these models are certainly not what you will want! The manual vacuum connects to a pole. The device connects to the pool's filter by way of a hose-pipe. It sucks the particles from the bottom surface of the swimming pool and sends it to the pool's filtration system. During this whole process, you must manually push the pole so that it covers the whole floor of the swimming pool. It requires some physical effort, and might also require more strength and energy, especially if the pool is big. Beside that, it might not be fun to stand out under the scorching heat of the sun every day as you vacuum your swimming pool.

Automatic Above Ground Pool Vacuum Cleaners

Automatic cleaners come in the moderate price range. They have become quite popular and common everywhere. They propel themselves and move across the bottom of the pool, collecting leaves, twigs, and other objects. They send the dirt to the filtration system via a hose which is attached to it. They are hugely popular because they need very little time and energy. All that you are required to do is lower it into the pool and return to pull it out when it is done. You may do whatever you please while it vacuums the pool. Or you can just relax and enjoy the warn weather outside or the cool air conditioning inside. This kind is relatively inexpensive, and it is also an excellent deal if you take into account the time it will save you with its 'set it-and-forget' advantage.

Robotic Above Ground Pool Vacuum Cleaners

Robotic cleaners are similar to automatic ones simply because they are self propelled. Just like the automatic ones, they require almost no attention. It really is as simple as dropping it into the swimming pool and returning to remove it when it is finished. They are the most expensive among the three types of cleaners. However, they are the most efficient kind. Unlike the other two kinds, they do not send the dirt through the pool's filtration system, but instead, store it inside themselves. Once you remove it from the pool, you can empty its container. This helps to prevent deterioration of your pump and filter, letting them last longer and run more efficiently. This kind of vacuum will clean perfectly, leaving the floor of the pool spotless.

Now you know all about the three different kinds of above ground pool vacuum cleaners. I hope this information has helped you to make your decision!
