How to clean your pool properly ?
The importance of choosing the right pool cleaner
Your next robot will become your best friend, a real ally in the maintenance of your pool! A clean pool is essential for a safe and enjoyable swimming experience. Choosing the right pool cleaner can make all the difference to the ease and efficiency with which you maintain your pool. Whether you have an above-ground or in-ground pool, each type of pool has its own cleaning challenges that require specific equipment.
Types of pool cleaner: Wired or wireless?
There are two main types of pool cleaner on the market: cordless and corded.
Cordless robots: These robots offer great freedom of movement and are ideal for pools of all shapes and sizes. They are particularly useful for pools with complex configurations or access ladders where a cable could get tangled. Cordless robots use batteries to operate, which means they need to be recharged periodically. Although their autonomy is limited by the running time of the battery, their flexibility makes them a popular choice.
Corded robots: Corded robots provide constant power without the need for recharging. This makes them suitable for long cleaning sessions, guaranteeing extensive pool coverage without interruption. They have no battery problems, but require careful cable management to avoid tangles.
Compatibility with swimming pool surface
It is crucial to select a cleaner that is compatible with your pool’s surface. Robots are equipped with different brushes or cleaning systems designed specifically to treat surfaces such as liners, painted concrete, tiles or fibreglass. Choosing the wrong type of cleaner can damage your pool lining, leading to costly repairs. Read the product information carefully before making your choice!
Robot features and control
Controlling your pool cleaner by phone – what a technological breakthrough! This feature allows users to customise cleaning programmes, adjust settings according to the specific needs of the pool, and even control the robot remotely. This ability to adjust settings can significantly improve cleaning efficiency by targeting specific areas or responding to changing conditions in the pool.
Durability and maintenance of pool cleaners
Durability is an important consideration when buying a pool cleaner. Obviously, you choose a robot to last as long as possible. Well-built models like those from CF can offer many years of reliable service. Look for robots made from high-quality materials that are resistant to chemicals and wear. In addition, ease of maintenance, such as easy access to filters for cleaning and availability of spare parts, are key factors that affect long-term durability and ease of use.
Energy and cost considerations
Choosing a robot rather than cleaning your pool manually has many advantages in terms of time saved, but it does have one disadvantage: the cost of energy, which is another important consideration. And this is all the more true in recent years, when the cost of electricity has risen considerably. So this criterion is really important, to ensure that maintaining your pool doesn’t cost you more. Energy-efficient pool cleaners not only reduce the impact on the environment, they also cut running costs by using less energy. What’s more, by minimising the need for chemicals and reducing water evaporation through efficient cleaning, they can offer significant savings over time. All good stuff!
In conclusion, by taking all these aspects into account, you’ll be able to choose a pool cleaner that not only cleans effectively, but is also tailored to your specific needs, economical to operate, and durable over the long term. A well-chosen robot is an essential investment in the cleanliness and maintenance of your aquatic space, ensuring that your pool remains a place of relaxation and pleasure for years to come. Enjoy the pleasures of swimming in crystal-clear water…
