Greetings TFP Members,
I've been scouring the forum here for a possible answer but just had the wife poke her head in room in disgust remarking "you're still on the computer?". So, here's my question to you all.
As a new pool owner I have no pool sweep in my pool. I learned through a pool company who came out to look at my pool that I have a pressure system(?) and need a pressure type pool sweep. However, they have advised me that a suction pool sweep is a bit better (takes work off the filter, etc.).
I have a choice to make and that is do I buy a pressure type pool cleaner (think I was quoted about $450) or do I have them perform some work on the pipes by the filter to convert to a suction type system and buy a suction pool sweep (about $600 for work and cleaner)? My worry is that I buy a pressure cleaner and then later find I should have converted to a suction and am now out the money for a pressure type pool sweep.
Thanks in advance for any insight. I've read alot of posts but couldnt' find a definitive discussion.
As for my pool, it's in-ground and midsize (couldnt' tell you the gallons) and kidney shaped. (If any of that helps).
Cheers.
