Like a vacuum for your home carpeting, a Pool Vacuum Cleaner vacuums the bottom of your pool and spa and is part of your overall swimming pool care. Before buying a pool vacuum cleaner, ask your professional these 12 important questions:
- Is the vacuum right for your pool or spa size? Some vacuums work better in small areas, while others work better in large pools.
- If you have both a pool and a spa, does the hose buoyancy and flow adjust? This is especially important if you have a large swimming pool and a small spa.
- How durable is the pool vacuum cleaner? Will it block easily? Will it last for many years with little repair?
- How does the vacuum handle angular corners? Some cleaners work best only with round pools or those with rounded corners.
- What type of cleaning pattern does it make (if robotic) – random or pre-determined? Random pattern cleaners are slower, while those with pre-determined patterns clean faster.
- Does the vacuum need to be removed after the swimming pool care is completed? Leaving some hooked up and in the pool can do damage to the filtration system.
- How easy will the vacuum install? How easy will it be to retrofit? The easier it is, the less costly and less time it will take.
- Will the pool vacuum cleaner put a strain on or damage any of the pool equipment? Some cleaners can damage elements of the filtration system over time.
- What does it clean well? Some vacuums clean dirt and minor debris best – good with no trees nearby, while some best clean leaves and twigs. If you have trees, you want a pool vacuum cleaner that does both well.
- Does it navigate steps? Very important if you have steps into your pool.
- Is the vacuum energy efficient? Pool vacuum cleaners can cover almost 600 miles annually. That’s a lot of electricity it’s burning.
- Does it operate quietly? This is important to know before buying a pool vacuum cleaner – both for the sanity of your family and that of your neighbors.
