If this is your first time to have your swimming pool or a spa at home, then you probably want to save on costs by cleaning the pool by yourself. Why spend hundreds on professional cleaning service when you can do it by yourself? Sure, you can probably hire someone on a monthly basis, but what about those days when the pool gets really dirty already. Do you have to wait for them to come over?
Luckily, there is a cleaning tool that is perfect for your pool. This is what we call a spa vacuum. These come in various forms, it can be used manually or some run by motor. The manual pool vacuum works by pumping a long tube, and then releasing it to suck the air in, thereby taking the dirt with them. This is quite helpful because it works on greasy and sticky substances that get in between the tiles of your pool. It also requires minimal effort as compared to scrubbing the entire pool.
A motorized pool spa vacuum, meanwhile, makes use of electricity, either supplied by batteries or an outlet. While the entire body is water resistant, it is advisable not to immerse the machine in water. In this case, you have to select a longer pole, so that it can be used even in deeper swimming pools. It is also more convenient to get those with adjustable poles so that you can shorten them if necessary. It is quite difficult to work with long poles and you want to adjust them at arm’s length.
