You can clean your pool either manually or automatically. If your pool is rather small and you can spare enough time and energy to clean your pool, using manual pool cleaning instruments, such as brush, net and vacuum cleaner is quite practicable; however, if you have a swimming pool whose size is much larger than that of regular pool, using manual pool cleaners is completely inefficient and impractical. To clean a large swimming pool, you should use auto pool cleaners because they can operate automatically and thoroughly and thus economize the labor and time needed to clean your pool.

In the beginning, automatic pool cleaners are only available in three types: one that cleans the water through suction, one that uses pressure, and one that is a robot. However, all of those automatic cleaning instruments are not considered effective to clean a swimming pool because those instruments cannot reach certain parts of the swimming pool, such as its shallow part, steps, underwater benches, and sun shelves. Therefore, pool owners often need to clean those inaccessible parts manually.

Such drawback can now be overcome by implementing in floor pool cleaner to clean the pool. This in floor pool cleaning system uses a series of popup sweeping heads that push debris towards swimming pool’s main drain and its filtration system. This cleaning system has actually been used to clean many swimming pools since about ten to fifteen years ago. Over years, there have been many enhancements applied on this kind of automatic cleaning instrument so today’s in floor cleaning system is completely different from that of ten or fifteen years ago. Therefore, if you buy automatic pool cleaner from any pool equipment shops and you hear some people talking about their dissatisfaction of using in floor cleaning system, you should know that they may use the old type of in floor cleaning system whose effectiveness in cleaning the pool is no more credible today.
