Why Suction Side Pool Cleaners Are the Best

Suction cleaners are the top-selling cleaners in my service area in Southern California. There are several reasons for this. 



It will also leave your clients pool-ready each week, which is excellent if you find them using the pool throughout the season. Again, get the image of you vacuuming their pool all day, and you can see why it will be good to go at any given time. No more manually vacuuming each pool every week on your route. This will allow you to focus on more important things like the pool chemistry.

 Having a cleaner running can also prevent staining on the pool surface. Sometimes, dirt will have metal ions, and leaves will undoubtedly stain the pool bottom if left there for an extended period. A staple or other small metal piece can also fall into the pool, and I have seen pools saved from rust stains by an automatic cleaner picking up small metal items. The fact that the cleaner will keep the pool floor and walls clean each week ensures a better overall look for the pool.

 Suction side cleaners are the most familiar type of cleaner for most consumers and the most popular type. A suction cleaner works off your pool's existing pump and is attached to the skimmer or a side/ vacuum port in your pool. Depending on the pool and type of debris, this can be the most cost-effective cleaner for you. Most suction-side cleaners retail for $400 or less.

 The suction side cleaner is the most popular on my pool route as it is affordable and effective, and there are a lot of different models to choose from. In most cases, I suggest an excellent suction side cleaner since they are also easy to set up and easy to repair when something breaks.

 A suction cleaner is also great because you can use the hoses already in the pool to spot vacuum the pool. Remove the cleaner head, attach your manual vacuum head, and easily vacuum a pool.
 You can easily equip your entire route with suction side cleaners by selling your customers low-priced models like the Zodiac Ranger or the Pentair Lil' Rebel. Many service companies include an automatic cleaner in their business model; add $15 to the monthly service, and it will pay for itself in a year. The time savings will reap dividends, and you can service more pools each day because of the automatic suction side cleaner.

 I like to drop a demo cleaner in a pool and let the customer try it for 2 weeks. Rarely, if ever, will I get a customer who says they didn't like the cleaner or how nice the pool looks each week with the cleaner running in it. It is usually an easy sell, and I highly recommend having an automatic cleaner in every service account.
