In-Floor Cleaning

About

In-Floor Pool Cleaning Systems In-floor pool cleaning systems are automated cleaning systems designed to keep swimming pools clean by circulating water and removing debris from the pool floor. These systems typically consist of a network of cleaning heads strategically placed on the pool floor that pop up and release jets of water to push debris toward the pool's main drain or skimmer. Frequently Asked Questions How long should an in-floor pool cleaning system run? Depending on the pool size and pump speed, an in-floor pool cleaning system typically runs between 4 and 12 hours. Where does the pool debris go in an in-floor pool cleaning system? Pop-up heads push debris underwater, where it is removed by the AVSC channel drain. When planning a pool with an in-floor pool cleaning system, designers know the cleaning radius of each pop-up head and provide a layout plan where all the pop-up heads work optimally together to remove debris. Why is an in-floor pool cleaning system more favorable than other pool floor cleaners? An in-floor pool cleaning system is often preferred to hose and robotic cleaners, which generate suction to pull debris into the pool’s filtration system and require manual guidance. This means steps, benches, spas, and other hard-to-reach places may be prone to staying dirty. As these types of cleaners don’t typically have a lifetime warranty, a customer can expect to replace them every five years on average. Alternatively, in-floor pool cleaning systems are custom-designed to your specific pool shape and automatically clean hard-to-reach areas. Why are the three C's of pool care so important? The three C's of pool care are important to ensure a well-maintained pool. The three C's are generally called circulation, cleaning, and chlorination (or sometimes, chemicals). Circulation is important because if a pool isn't well-circulated, it is not clean. Without proper circulation, pools are more prone to poor chemical distribution, cold spots, and wasted en
