WHICH CREEPY-CRAWLY FOR YOUR POOL?
You are getting tired of vacuuming the swimming pool once or twice weekly, or you are going on a holiday and you don't want to find a green puddle when you come home? A creepy-crawly is what you need.
When purchasing your creepy-crawly, price shouldn't be the only thing in mind. And actually, in this matter, you get what you pay for. Your local hardware store may have this unbeatable special on a $200 creepy-crawly, but you would be well advised to have a good look at it before you buy.
Moving parts: the more moving parts there is, the higher the risk of something going wrong. Simpler is better and sturdier.
Throat size: if the intake of the machinge, or “throat” is too narrow, leaves and twigs will easily jam it and you will have to constantly supervise the thing, thus defeating its purpose. A wider throat will deal with most leaves and twigs and leave your mind at peace when you are away, knowing the job is ing done.
Your local pool shop will show you the most reliable and efficient models. But these may cost you from $500 up to $2,000 or more... Such is the price of tranquility.
