Hey guys! New pool owner and have been using a pool service for about a year now. After having to install my own pump and research a ton, I’m planning on giving the pool service the boot and doing this myself.
14k Gallon pool, screen enclosure, Florida, Hayward SWG and Tristar 900. Pool also has a dedicated vacuum port. I have 0 vacuum hardware.
The pool seems to stay very clean (when not in pollen season) Very little debris and the once a week vacuum from the pool service seems to do the trick just fine. I’m having an internal debate as to what I would need when I venture off alone. Once a week to manually get the hose out and vacuum doesn’t seem awful, but I definitely hate hoses.
Robots look neat, but seem like overkill for a screened in pool. Automatic suction look good too, but I would still want to remove the hoses after it’s done the job.
Almost like a handheld, battery, manual vacuum might be best...like a cheap hammerhead?
Any arguments either way? I’m looking to be convinced...
