1. Visit your pool supply store and discuss what type of automatic pool cleaner is best for your pool. Take all information about your pool with you such as dimensions, volume, depth and filtration system.

4. Follow the instructions on your automatic pool cleaner system carefully to ensure full coverage of your product warranty. If you need help with assembly, talk to you local pool supply dealer.

5. Start your automatic pool cleaner. Most cleaners take two to three hours to complete their cleaning cycle. Check pool chemicals after cleaning and adjust as needed.

6. Use your automatic pool cleaner regularly to cut down the overall use of chemicals and to prolong the life of your pool's filtration system. These robotic cleaners are inexpensive to operate, save electricity and cut down on backwash costs.
