Does the idea of a robotic pool cleaner make you think of some futuristic world where jobs are done by machines instead of men? If so, then you may have a pretty accurate picture of just what one of these automated pool cleaners can do for you.

Tired of mixing chemicals and balancing your pool water? Maybe there is another solution.

Pools using ozonators are reported to have cleaner water overall, since dirt and debris wind up in the filter system much more quickly. We have the basics of a swimming pool ozonator so you can decide whether this is a viable option for you.
