Here Are the Top Robotic Pool Cleaners in 2021!
No one wants to be spending their free time manually cleaning the pool, right? This is where robotic cleaners step in and take care of it all for you. Robotic cleaners are the ultimate cleaning device for swimming pools and if you are considering an upgrade or need an automatic cleaner for your new pool, here are some of the latest models that are worth a serious look.
Why Choose A Robotic Cleaner Over Other Types Of Pool Cleaners?
A robotic cleaner can give you the cleanest pool for a fraction of the cost. Other types of pool cleaners such as side suction cleaners and pressure cleaners work by connecting to the pool skimmer and the suction from the pump enables them to move along the surface of the pool. Robotic cleaners differ as they run using electricity. You may be thinking if they use electricity, they must be expensive? This couldn’t be further from the truth; they consume around the same amount of energy as a standard light globe. They can pick up all kinds of contaminants in the pool, from fine particles of dirt to large leaves and debris. Robotic cleaners scrub and climb every inch of the pool to give you a superior clean and the highest water quality. They can save you money on water and chemicals. Some models are compatible with smart technology which can simplify your pool cleaning even more so.

Energy Saving
Look for a robotic cleaner that has a 12- or 24-volt motor as they use 90% less energy than other types. This can save you a significant amount of money over the years.

Maintaining Your Robotic Cleaner
Robotic cleaners are expensive, so once you have chosen a system, it’s important that you take care of it. While they are virtually self-sufficient, they do need a little care to keep them in tip-top shape. Here are some simple ways you can protect your cleaner:
- Check your brushes after each cycle to ensure there is no debris preventing them from rotating sufficiently. Over time the brushes or tyres may wear and will need replacing. Check the condition of these regularly to ensure they aren’t overly worn.
- Don’t leave your robotic cleaner out in direct sunlight when it is not in use. UV rays can damage your cleaner, and it may crack, so to prevent this from happening, keep it stored in the shade, preferably in a storage shed/garage etc.
- Once your cleaner has completed its cycle remove it from the pool. This makes it safer for people to swim in the pool as they won’t get caught up in the cleaner and accidentally damage it. Plus, you’ll protect the motor of the robotic cleaner by taking it out after it’s done its job. The chemical-laden water can have an adverse effect if it’s left in the water 24/7.
