Answers to Your Pool Cleaner Questions

For most pools, running an automatic pool cleaner two to three times per week is enough to help maintain clear water. The ideal schedule can vary based on pool use, debris, weather, and the time of year. Pools that see heavy use or collect a lot of leaves may benefit from more frequent cleaning. Your local Pinch Pro can help you determine the best routine for your pool. Shop All Cleaners

  • Suction pool cleaners are best suited for small to medium-sized pools with minimal debris.
