Keeping your swimming pool clean all summer is a chore and no one likes doing it. For some it means dragging out the vacuum hose and telescopic pole, hooking everything up and standing there for hours in the hot sun while you move a vacuum along the bottom of your swimming pool.

Robotic pool cleaners solve this very problem by cleaning the bottom, sides and even the stairs of your swimming pool. These cleaners are not only great, since you don’t have to do the work, but they are also fast and save you money on your energy bill because you don’t have to run your filter system to operate.

These automatic pool cleaners plug into a standard outlet (yes! they are electric) and just drop into your pool. There are two motors that power the cleaner. One motor pushes the cleaner around the bottom of your pool and the other motor controls the pump that sucks in water.

When it sucks in water it brings in debris, sand and even rocks. It’s pulled through a filter bag and clean water jets out of the top of the cleaner. The filter bag filters just as good as a standard sand filter, so it’s like your pool has two filters, but the robotic pool cleaner filter is cheaper to run.

After it’s done cleaning just open it up and empty the bag of debris and presto your pool is clean!
