Pump and Filter Vacuum
- Image via Wikipedia
I assume you mean the pump and filter because the vacuum ( for bottom,sides)runs off of the pumps electricity not its own. If you don’t run your pump all the time you will pay the difference in electricity saved by having to buy more chemicals and time spent maintaining your pool. Make sure to have chlorine tablets floating in your pool at all times and the pump running and you will save a ton of money and time on your pool
Using vacuum pool cleaner on a color green pool
My pool turns green every summer around June and July. First year my landlord said it was the kids peeing in the pool not the fact that the pool guy skipped weeks and didn’t skim the leaves or vacuum every time he came. This year he said it was the dog that I didn’t have last year.
Not the fact that the filter was clogged by the leaves that fell from the neighbors tree before summer. Or that the landlord then broke the filter trying to clean it himself and it was down for two weeks. Had to special order parts. And the pool guy didn’t shock the pool at the first sign of algae. He just kept putting the same amount of chlorine in for two weeks and didn’t think to leave me a note about the dog then or call the landlord.
He just left the pool green after each visit. So here I am 2 months later with no pool and the landlord blames my dog. Am I crazy or does my landlord and the pool guy not know a thing about pools? Do dogs cause that much damage if the pool guy is putting in the right amount of chemicals? Help ! I need to prove my landlord wrong. Read the rest of this entry »
Pool Cleaner Vacuum | Polaris 360 | Dolphin Robotic
They are both great pool cleaners. It just depends on what you are looking for. The Polaris is less expensive and does a great job of cleaning. The Dolphin, being a robotic cleaner, is more expensive. However, it operates off a computer chip that is programmed to clean your entire pool with little or no human interference. Either cleaner is going to be a great choice.
Robot Vacuum Cleaner
My Roomba robot vacuum cleaner is being very weird. It keeps backing up a little bit, then spinning around, then backing up a little bit, then spinning around some more. It won’t clean in its normal pattern, and won’t do its normal “spot cleaning” behavior either.
I have cleaned every part of it that can be cleaned and disassembled and reassembled everything. I have removed the battery and replaced it later, and I have shut it off and let it charge back up, but it just keeps acting all crazy. Has anyone had this problem? If you got the thing to work properly again, how did you do it?
