The right cleaner makes a bi-weekly visit faster. The wrong one chews a hose, stalls in a corner, and leaves the deep end alone.
Suction, pressure, or robot
Suction-side cleaners use the skimmer or a dedicated suction line and are simple — until the pump is undersized or the filter is dirty. Pressure-side cleaners need a booster pump and shine on large, leafy yards. Robots (electric) do not steal filter flow; they need a GFCI outlet and a basket emptied after each run. We match the cleaner to the plumbing that is already in the deck, not to a box-store aisle.
Hoses and bags
A hose that is too short never reaches the far corner. A bag that is never emptied becomes a brick. If the cleaner is the only thing keeping the floor clean between our bi-weekly stops, we size it on the first visit and show you where the bag clips.
