How Should My Automatic Pool Cleaner Run?
Question?
Q: Hello, how are you today. I just got a brand new pool, and it comes with an automatic pool cleaner. Sometimes it goes slow and sometimes it goes faster. Is that normal? Does the speed affect the cleaning ability of my automatic pool cleaner? That is it folks.
Thank you for your time.

A:
Super to hear from you. Many of my customers question me about automatic pool cleaners, and the various products (Hayward, Kreepy Kauly, White Shark, etc.).
 | The power of your swimming pool pump. |
|
| The amount of open valves during pool system operation. |
|
| The condition and effectiveness of your system's pool filter. |
|
| Operating speed can be adjusted manually in some automatic pool cleaners. |
The speed of the pool cleaner, no matter the product, depends on many factors.
All in all, the key to a good product is the coverage. It should gently glide across the floor of the entire pool surface. Yes, up and down the walls as it acts as a migrating main drain, helping to circulate your pool water and dispense the necessary chemicals. Ok, you have some thoughts to help.
There you go. Good day to you.
