Best Automatic Pressure Pool Cleaners

One of the things I’ve learned from owning a pool is that it can be a real pain to keep it clean. We have many trees around us and we live in a valley where it just seems the wind blows constantly so leaves, dirt and dust is constantly moving around us. Eventually this debris makes it’s way into the pool and slowly sinks to the bottom where the cleaner (yes, that would be me) has to vacuum it out manually. It’s not fun at all.

I would say one of the worst jobs for a pool owner is manually vacuuming a pool. If you have a pool, you know the pains involved in cleaning it up. You need to get the hoses out, attach the hoses to the vacuum head, remove the air from the hose, attach it to the skimmer without sucking in more air and then after you vacuum up a handful of leaves, they can get stuck in the skimmer so you have to remove everything, clean the skimmer and start all over again. It’s a pain in the you-know-what. That’s where technology comes into play to make life easier and that leads us to automatic pressure pool cleaners to do the job of the manual vacuum.

I’ve compiled a list of the best automatic pool cleaners that use the pressure generated from the pool pump to automatically clean your pool while you’re inside watching T.V. or hanging with the family. Talk about set-it-and-forget-it, this is the way to go when it comes to cleaning your pool. Take a look…
