Pool cleaners are those instruments which a pool owner requires for pool maintenance. It is basically a vacuum cleaner which removes all the debris settled in the pool. Pool cleaner is a device which is used for the initial cleansing. It removes the solid impurities which makes it easier for the further filtration and disinfecting processes.
Are you wondering what kind of a pool cleanser you need for your pool? Here is little basic discretion you should know. Pool cleaners are divided into 5 types. They are listed below.
• Return side driven:
This device follows an effect called venturi effect. This effect forces the pool cleaner to move forward removing all the impurities. The impurities are collected in the filter bag. This is an old form of functionality. It has fallen apart because it has a high running cost as it requires an additional pump. It is also a tedious process as you need to adjust the flow in the pipe works.
• Pressure driven:
This is just like the return side driven cleaner. One difference is that pressure driven cleaner has a booster pump which provides extra pressure for the flow of water. This is better than the return side driven cleaner but it also has disadvantages. The running cost of pressure driven cleaner is more.
• Suction side driven:
Suction side driven cleaners are those which are attached to the plumbing pipes that take in the water from the pool to the filtration units. This device pulls in the dirt and solid impurities.
This works like the normal vacuum cleaner.
• Electronic pool cleaners:
The name itself suggests that these cleaners are driven by a motor. It constitutes of three parts. One is the motor. Second is a processor and the third is a pump. This cleaner has a pump that pulls in water from bottom of the cleaner. The water passes through the filter bag and comes out from the outlet which is situated in the top of the cleaner. It has a suction bag that is situated in such a place that it cleans the sides of the pool as well. Since this is an automatic procedure, the processor is configured keeping in mind the size of the pool.
• Robotic pool cleaner:
These are the latest mechanisms which help the pool users to clean their pools leaving behind a crystal clear pool. They have sensors attached to them on their bump bars and when these sensors come in contact with the sides of the pool, they pause for a while. They restart after a small interval and move in the reverse direction with a marginal displacement. This cleans up the whole pool with less effort and is more effective.
You have to put effort into finding out the best available cleaner and also consider various factors like the capacity, size, time taken, cost and the performance. If you buy a good capable cleaner you are assured to finish more than half the work of the cleaning process with a reduced cost. Its time saving because most of the cleaners are automatic and have a time set for the cleansing process. You need not waste your time doing all the cleansing process by yourself. Some initial investments could really make a lot of difference. So you have to think about it!
