Keeping the pool looking good in winter

If you manage a public swimming pool, then maintenance falls squarely under your purview. You are expected to keep the water and the entire facility clean at all times. Notably, most swimming pool managers use traditional cleaners that utilise a suction mechanism. While the cleaning devices do a good job, they take time to install. It is the reason robotic pool cleaners are increasingly becoming more popular. Most importantly, robotic cleaners are efficient and easy to use, which makes them a worthwhile investment. That said, you should consider specific issues when shopping for a robotic pool cleaner.

Pool Size 

The first thing you must look at when looking for a robotic pool cleaner is pool size. Public swimming pools assume different sizes, and the bigger they are, the longer the cleaning process takes. Therefore, you must match a robotic cleaner to pool size. For instance, a competition-style pool measuring 50 meters by 20 meters needs two or three heavy-duty robotic cleaners. On the other hand, a cleaning exercise will take forever if you buy a residential pool cleaner to manage an Olympic-sized pool. Besides, robotic cleaners have varying power cord lengths. Therefore, ensure that the pool cleaner you want to buy has the right cable length.

Pool Cleaner's Weight 

The weight of a robotic cleaner should also be considered during purchase. The reason is that public pools get dirty pretty fast, and regular cleaning is mandatory. Notably, heavy cleaners are difficult to carry around, and water pressure makes it even more challenging and dangerous to pull them out. Therefore, you should go with a lightweight modern cleaner. Nonetheless, some big and heavy commercial robotic cleaners use buoyancy technology and spurt out water from a buoyancy chamber, making the machine light and easy to pull out of a pool. Most importantly, you should choose pool cleaners that are light enough for staff to work with regularly.

Climbing Capabilities 

When you look at most automatic pool cleaners, you might think they all have climbing technology that allows them to clean pool walls. However, it is not the case because some cleaners do not have the capability. If you buy a cleaner that only cleans the floor, you must clean the walls manually. Alternatively, you can allocate more resources and buy cleaners that scrub and clean the walls. The climbers save pool managers a lot of time and money in the long run.
