Hi Everyone. I am in a bit of a dilemma here in regards to the purchase of a pool cleaner. I am surely not enjoying cleaning the pool manually and would like to have this done by a robot. The question is if this will really work for my pool.
I live in Cyprus (an island close to Greece). It's pretty dusty here in the air and the main issue for my pool is not leaves or large debris, but actually fine dust that sticks to the bottom of the pool and makes it look unappealing. In combination with small algae particles it will give a greenish color to the blue tiles. So cleaning this regularly is a must.
When I clean it manually I have 2 options:
1. Have the filter on the backwash mode to throw all dirty water out. Water is expensive here on the island, so during the 30 min cleanup I end up with a lot of water waste, which costs a bit. However after this cleanup the pool looks clear and appealing.
2. Use the regular filter mode and circulate the water back into the pool. No water waste, however the pool will look cloudy after this cleanup and it will take more than a day for it to settle. The reason is that the small dust particles manage to come back into the pool, so the cleaning is not fully efficient.
Now the question in regards to the pool cleaner: Will any of those models work in this case? My concern is that if my main sand filter still allows some of that dust to come back into the pool, will the robot have a proper fine filter to stop it all inside? Otherwise it's useless and defeats the purpose if all he dust goes through the cleaner and comes back into the water. It will just make it all cloudy and clean nothing. All videos I watched on pool cleaners just show how the basket is full of leaves and large debris when they pull it out. That's not helpful for my case.
Can you guys give me any feedback on this if you're already using any of those cleaners and maybe an idea on which model you would recommend?
Thank you and wish you all Happy Holidays!
