Robotic pool cleaners are great for controlling large debris in your in-ground pool. Cleaning leaves, small twigs, and nuts are troublesome for pool owners that have trees. Manually removing them requires you to use a leaf rake to create a pile and then grab them with your hands.
Using a robotic cleaner is almost effortless. You set up the program. You put them in the pool. They do the rest with minimal fuss, and at the end, you will only have to clean the collection container.
Why a robotic pool cleaner?
Robots (should) make your life easier. A robot can clean your pool automatically with minimal manual intervention. They may have a higher initial cost, but the monthly expense is modest. They use less electricity than other types of automatic pool cleaners and require less maintenance. Some units are battery powered, while other robots require a tether.
There are three types of pool cleaners available on the market: Pressure-side cleaners, suction-side cleaners, and robotic pool cleaners. The first two automatic pool cleaners use the pool’s pump and filter system to function.
A robotic cleaner can also handle small and large debris. You will find that the cleaner is more expensive, but it will have vacuum and brush motors. They can be programmed to clean in various modes, such as cleaning the pool bottom, skim the top, or clean the walls of your pool. A timer can be set, and they can repeatedly clean the pool with little intervention.
Pressure-side and suction-side automatic cleaners are prone to maintenance issues. They require quite a bit of attention. You also have to reattach the hoses to the pools inlet or outlet ports each time. The automatic robotic cleaner is self-contained. You have to lower the unit into the pool, and the robot will do the rest.
What are features you should require for cleaning large debris?
Some features that you should look for in a robotic pool cleaner that can handle large debris are:
1. Dual brushes
2. software to scan scattered debris left in the pool
3. An over-sized debris collection bag
4. Dual filter cartridges
5. Good aqua-dynamics
6. Four-wheel drive
You will find that these features will cost a little extra, but will be worth it to provide a great experience. If you run the robot frequently, you will not have to clean the large debris manually.
Dual Brushes
Rubberized brush rollers or hard-bristle brushes are adequate for small debris and some large debris. If you want to get the best result, you should use dual brushes. These will help to ensure that even the largest debris can be easily eliminated.
Special software
Many robotic cleaners have programmable options. They have cleaning cycles and scheduling options. Robots that can detect and capture scattered debris are desirable. They are more efficient and thorough.
Over-sized Collection Bag
All robotic cleaners come with collection cartridges or bags. To ensure that you do not have to intervene with the robot frequently to empty the collection unit, you should get a cleaner with an over-sized container. It will save you time and effort in the long run.
Why Dual Filter Cartridges?
Small and large debris will be picked up. Having two filters allows the robot to be more efficient.
Aqua-dynamics
The robot can maneuver expertly in the pool. It can climb the walls, skim the surface, circumvent obstacles like pool toys, and handle stairs easily.
Why Four-Wheel Drive?
Four-wheel drive allows the robot to traverse on the pool floor, climb stairs and the pool walls with ease. The unit is more stable to ensure that it can pick up the larger debris. Robots that do not have four wheels are not as steady. The better option is to have even tracks.
Final Words
Robotic pool cleaners are very useful and cost-effective in the long run. A robot that is optimized for large debris can be bought at a reasonable price online.
