Are you in the market for an automatic pool cleaner? Well before you buy? Let's talk about them. There are many different options out there, but how do you decide which one is best? Well, there's? Actually, only three types of automatic pool cleaners number one - is pressure side pool cleaners which are among the most popular on the market for pool owners. Some highly recommended ones include the polaris 65 for above ground pools and the polaris 3900 sport for in-ground pools a pressure side. Cleaner uses, the water from your pump and filter system to power.
The cleaner and some cleaners do require an extra pump to power. The cleaner. Now, when the cleaner runs around the pool, that's powered by water pressure, and so is the water vortex that it creates to lift debris off the ground and into a filter bag located on the cleaner itself. I highly recommend pressure side cleaners for a few reasons: number one: they clean up large debris, pretty easily they're low maintenance, they're very durable and they don't move the dirt into your filter system.
It's all in a self-contained unit. Number two is robotic pool cleaners, which are by far my favorite pool cleaner on the market, because they don't use your pump and filter system to clean your pool. In fact, they use a low voltage transformer that you plug into an outlet. You drop the cleaner in and the cleaner has its own motor to drive the wheels and its own pump to lift debris off the ground and into a filter basket.
Some robotic pool cleaners are really really smart. In fact, they have computer chips inside them that actually monitor your your cleaners activities to teach it to be more efficient when it cleans your pool. Also, there are cleaners out there like the polaris 9550 that are remote controlled, so you can power them yourself. Now, as the technology evolves, robotic pool, cleaners are becoming more affordable and more efficient and the best parts about them are a few things number one.
They clean up large debris and small debris pretty efficiently number two. They scrub the tiles and the walls of your pool, and even the stairs and number three is that they are self-contained units. They do not require your filter system to run and they also filter the water. So when your filter system's not running you're, getting that extra filtering power and lastly, number three is suction side pool cleaners which are pool cleaners that require your pump and filter system to run.
And it moves the cleaner along the bottom and the sides of your walls. To clean the debris off the ground and into your filter system now i only recommend getting a suction side pool cleaner if you're on a budget and you're just looking to get something to get started. So that's all of the automatic pool cleaners that are out on the market today, they're all different types, there's all different brands. But how do you choose? Which one is best for you and the type of pool that you have well, let's say: you're a do-it-yourselfer and you just want something. Super simple super easy. I recommend going with a pressure side pool cleaner, whether you have an above ground or an in-ground pool. Now, if you're a little bit more budget-conscious, you can go with a suction side pool cleaner and, if you're just getting started, maybe suction side's the way to go and if you're, if you've got a budget to work with and you're. Looking for something that's efficient and is just an excellent cleaner, i highly recommend going with a robotic pool cleaner.

What about silt? My area is dusty and windy znd I'm getting tired of vacuuming up silt just to see it settle again within an hour
If I get one of these pricey robotic cleaners
Do I still have to manually sweep the pool ?
I need something to pick up the dirt from the mountain that fall inside the pool, I keep brushing the pool and the dirt just move from one side to another and the thing that I use to vacuum is not picking up the dirt. Also something that won’t be that expensive.
We live in the country and have the fire department tanker bring our water. The problem in the beginning is mustard algae. Mustard algae is a very fine dust. After watching this video I'm thinking that I need a vacuum that goes through my pump in order to contain this mustard algae. Please advize.
Really informative. Service area Barrhaven??
Hey man, you could collab with a sailing channel and test which one of these units was happy to buff the underside of a boat without falling off! It'd be fun!
Are you in the market for an automatic pool cleaner? Are you in Nepean ?
You didn't include infloor pop ups. Just saying
In other words, you highly recommend a pool cleaner. Really?
If you are going to run a timer two times a day for 12 hours what times would you run it during?
Recommendation for fiberglass pool?
I have owned two different Polaris robots, terrible! Constantly in the shop, switching back to pressure side this season. The new Polaris Quattro has most of the benefits of a robot without the electronics to fail, I may try that or go with trusted p280.
Are any one of the types you mentioned better for pools with a liner or would any of them do the job?
Besides cleaning the pool what else should one do?
Is this sponsered by Polaris since that's the only brand you mention (and more than once)? Service area Ottawa??
Thank you for all the information. I have a question about the new variable speed magnetic pumps and a return side cleaner. Today I have a 1/2 hp pump that runs around 3450 rpm and it runs the return side vacuum fine. The newer pump I am thinking about runs at the most efficient speed of 1600 rpm. Do you believe this is enough to run the return vacuum? The newer pump has higher rpm settings but if I want the vacuum to run for many hours, I want the lower rpm for energy cost savings. Thank you
Just no to this video, just no.
The Polaris 9550 is an absolute piece of junk. Yep, looks really nice in a clear pool. People buy this unit to impress the neighbors, not to keep their pools clean, unless keeping your pool clean means having to deal with half a dozen leaves falling in each week that the skimmer doesn't pick up. Try getting it to clean a pool with some leaves and debris and watch as the 'jet engine' blows everything behind it up into the water and create clouds that will settle back down later and make it look like it never did anything to begin with. The thing barely picks up anything at all before it starts signaling that its full. Used it for a week and eventually went and got a simple $30 attachment to go on the end of the pool pole with a hose attached to the skimmer suction. In half an hour I cleaned up everything that this piece of crap couldn't manage in a week. People should file a class action law suit against Polaris for foisting an expensive piece of garbage on the public that they clearly never bothered testing properly. We bought it without even checking for reviews because we'd always been told that Polaris was the Rolls-Royce of pool cleaners. Selling this is virtually criminal because it doesn't do the job it's supposed to be designed for. Check around for other review sites. The complaints are everywhere about how this clouds up the water via the manner in which the exhaust port blows directly across the bottom of the pool as the unit moves about. If clouding up the water enough that the pool's own filtration system ends up cleaning the water then, yeah, the Polaris cleans the pool.
Thank You I just learned the differences in the various styles of cleaners and know to eliminate one right off my list!
What pressure side pool cleaners would you recommend without a booster pump?
I'm looking to get automatic pool cleaner. My problem is the pool has so much dirt. The pool walls are a 90-degree angle and it is ceramic. The dimensions are 10 meters long and 2meters high and 5-meters width. It is an inground pool. My budget is up to $500. What is your recommendation? Thank you in advance Service area Orleans??
Robot pool cleaners are trash. I've never seen one that worked well in 15 years working on pools. They require too much input from the pool owner, the need to be cleaned almost every day to work and the cords tangle to the point of missing most of the pool. Most retailers will say robots let you run your filtration system less because the robot will filter the water as it runs. This is total BS. If your pool is plumed for a suction sweep, use "the pool cleaner" 2x or 4x depending on pool size. If your pool is plumbed for a pressure sweep with a booster pump, go with a polaris 280 or 3900 sport. Read the instructions carefully and cut the hoses properly for your pool or the polaris units will tangle badly, it helps to leave the hose stretched out straight in the sun for a day or so to take the memory out the hoses as well. If your system is plumbed for an energy type sweep (pressure sweep that uses the main filter pump for pressure instead of a separate boosterpump) go with a polaris 360. Hope this helps.
I strongly disagree with your assement of pressure-side cleaners. Although they do not directly pull dirt into your filter system they do push it up off of the floor to be pick-up by the skimmers into your filter system. So technically, they DO put dirt into your filter system. Otherwise, Where Does Dirt Go? I like Polaris BUT, they are damned expensive to run and maintain!
I have used the Polaris ATV since 2003 and I've been thru 2 brand new units and 3 motors. I'm tired of them. Do I need to run the robotics everyday or every other day and also do I have to take them of of the pool after use? I'm thinking about the MX8 and after watching your reviews now considering the robots. Thanks
Which robot do you recommend for pebbletec pool?
