How do I choose which machine is right for me?

1st: Decide if you want a floor cleaner only or a machine that will clean the floor and the walls.
(We suggest that commercial facilities look at floor cleaners only. Walls should be brushed weekly by a lifeguard or pool attendant.) 

2nd: Determine the size of your pool and narrow the search to machines that are sized accordingly.

3rd: Check the slope of your pool and the radius of the pool floor to wall. If there is a large radius or a very steep slope from deep to shallow, steer away from bottom only cleaners as they may not be able to navigate the pool bottom.

4th: Determine how the machine will be used to clean the pool. 

If it will be used daily you may want to consider a remote control for quick spot cleaning, otherwise the additional money may not be necessary.

5th:  Narrow the search by the finish of your pool. Tile and vinyl lined pools will need PVA brushes to clean the surface. Concrete and plaster finishes will need rubber brushes or sponges.

6th: If you are still not certain, ask your local warranty center or distributer if they will provide an on-site demonstration or provide a loaner for you to use before you commit to purchasing.

7th: Whenever possible, purchase from a local warranty center or distributer that actually works on these machines so that problems or questions can be addressed in a timely manner by qualified technicians that understand how the machine should operate.
