When automatic pool cleaners first made their debut on the market place some decades ago they were viewed as real labor savers but at the same time they were rather expensive. Now however, while they are still great labor savers the cost on them when adjusted for inflation has fallen dramatically. During the initial pool planning process an automatic pool cleaner is often left out, because it can be very easy to underestimate the amount of work that goes into keeping a pool clean.
This particularly holds true if the pool is surrounded or overhung by leafy shedding foliage. The fact of the matter is that every pool owner should consider using some type of automatic pool cleaner irregardless of their landscape situation, because having one in operation means that the pool will always be crystal clear and free of debris such as dead bugs or lawn clippings that may have blown in.
Automatic pool cleaners come in a wide range of prices with the least expensive models beginning at about $150 and the most expensive models reaching as high as $800. They all come with a wide variety of functions, options and warranty packages, so the one that you choose should best fit your situation.
For instance, if your pool is going to be heavily used by children and possibly even dogs jumping in and out of the pool as well as being surrounded by landscaping that is going to contribute to the situation than going with a cheap budget model might in due time prove to be a mistake.
On the other hand, if your pool is small, gets light usage and there is not any problematic landscape situations then there is absolutely no reason that you should need a heavy duty or high performance automatic pool cleaner for the pool.
