Swimming pools can be exciting additions to your backyard until you realize just how much maintenance they require. No one likes swimming in a pool filled with dirt and debris, and it can be damaging to your pool pump, but carefully cleaning and skimming your pool each time you want to swim can be less appealing as well. We at S & H Pools like to recommend pool vacuums to make pool cleaning and maintenance easier.

How to Decide if Swimming Pool Vacuums Are Right for You

Here are three things to consider to help you decide if swimming pool vacuums are right for you:

  1. Do you prefer swimming over cleaning? If you dread getting into the pool each time because you have to spend more time cleaning the pool than you actually spend swimming in it, swimming pool vacuums can be the perfect compromise. Whether you choose a manual vacuum or automatic vacuum, you can achieve a cleaner pool in less time and effort and have more time to swim and enjoy the clean pool water.
  2. How bad does your back ache? Skimming the pool can require you to bend over the pool to reach across and skim the debris out of the water, and you might often have a sore back as a result. With automatic swimming pool vacuums, especially, you don’t have to put any additional pressure on your back because the vacuums will take care of the cleaning for you. There’s even a robotic cleaner option that can clean on a set schedule for you while you’re not home, so you have a clean pool to enjoy the moment you get home or wake up.
  3. What type of filtration pump do you have? This last consideration is only to help you decide what type of swimming pool vacuum you might want. Some of our vacuum options require specialized booster pumps while others do not. We can assess your pool and help you determine what pumps you have available and which type of vacuum might be best for you.
