Frequently Asked Questions About Automatic Pool Cleaners,
Swimming Pool Filters and Swimming Pool Maintenance:

1) How difficult is it to set up the automatic pool cleaner?

Each automatic pool cleaner comes complete with hose to set it up and a video that shows you exactly what you need to do. You will not need any tools to get the job done and typically it will only require 5 to 10 minutes to setup.

2) What do I have to do to make my automatic pool cleaner work?

Most of what you are paying for on a monthly basis with a swimming pool is to keep it clean. Just run your swimming pool filter 3 to 4 hours a day along with the automatic pool cleaner and the majority of your swimming pool maintenance is done. Check the swimming pool chemicals once a week with one of our testing kits and in most cases the only other pool maintenance you will need is once a year pool filter cleanings. This is not a difficult job but it is a little messy, so most swimming pool owners call in a pool maintenance professional to get it done.

3) What else can I do to keep my swimming pool clean?

For most swimming pools just sweeping down your pool steps, cleaning your swimming pool straining filter (basket filters), checking and correcting your swimming pool chemicals once a week will keep your swimming pool in good condition and your pool maintenance to a minimum.

4) How do I know if my swimming pool filter needs cleaning?

Check your swimming pool filter pressure. Most pool filters have a red line on the gauge. If the pressure gets above the red line then the pool filter is getting dirty. This means the pool filter either needs a cleaning or a back flush. When you see the pool filter is above the red line it is time to maintain (clean or back flush) the filter, or you may call a pool maintenance professional.

5) How do I check my pool chemicals?

It is very simple. The swimming pool testing kit has gauges that tell you exactly how much water to scoop up from your swimming pool. You just add the recommended drops of the testing liquids included in the kit and it tells you what you need to add to the pool. It is about a 2 minute job once a week.

6) Will this eliminate the need for all pool maintenance service?

You still might need a call for annual swimming pool filter cleaning, or help after a major storm. Also if your pool chemicals get out of whack, you might need to buy some additional pool chemicals. Most pool supply companies will tell you what you need if you bring them a sample of your water.
