Cleaning
How pools actually get clean, what each tool does, and where cleaning stops and water chemistry begins.
Guides in Cleaning
- Robotic vs Suction vs Pressure Pool Cleaners: Which Type Fits Your Pool?There is no universally best cleaner type. Robotic cleaners operate independently from the main pool filtration system. Suction cleaners use suction from the pool pump and are often well suited to smaller debris. Pressure cleaners use the pressure side and can be useful for larger debris, but some systems require a booster pump.
- Cordless vs Corded Robotic Pool Cleaners: The Tradeoffs That MatterChoose cordless when cable-free setup is a major priority and the robot's rated runtime and coverage comfortably match your pool. Choose corded when you prefer not to manage charging and the available power-cord length reaches the pool correctly. Cleaning coverage matters more than the word cordless.
- How to Choose a Robotic Pool Cleaner Without Starting With a BrandStart with compatibility, not features. The right robot must be designed for your pool type and size and must clean the surfaces you actually want cleaned. After that, compare debris handling, filter access, cord or battery limitations, retrieval, warranty, and replacement-part availability.
