While suction cleaners harness the power of water, robotic cleaners just blow water around the pool. They do not directly take it to your pool’s specially designed filtration and sanitising system. A poor choice in cleaner could leave sections of your pool stagnant, creating the perfect conditions for algae to grow.
In this way, are robot pool cleaners worth it?
