The Kreepy Krauly really is the Granddaddy of the dolphin automatic pool cleaner, in fact it’s really the granddaddy of all automatic pool cleaners, and it wasn’t born in the USA as you may expect, but in South Africa, the brain child of Ferdinand Chauvier, who himself had travelled to South Africa from the Belgian Congo.

Chauvier quickly spotted a demand for an easier and more efficient way to clean swimming pools, and in 1974, 23 years after moving to South Africa, and around ten years before the Dolphin pool cleaner came into being, the Kreepy Krauly was born.  The company is now America owned, and offers a range of other pool maintenance products, but the Kreepy Krauly itself remains true to the original concept, and while not as smart perhaps as the fully automatic, robotic pool cleaners offered by the likes of the Dolphin pool cleaner, the Kreepy Krauly is without doubt a great time saving pool servicing tool.

To be honest, it could happen.  If global warming is as serious as many suggest, then the future is going to be a hotter one.  People who never previously dreamt of installing a pool in their yard, or purchasing an above ground pool for seasonal dips could well be tempted by ongoing hotter than before summers.

When you purchase a pool, or get your pool installed, it can be amazing.  A great feeling, taking a swim whenever you feel like it, have your friends and family around to join in with you, pool parties.  But the reality can quickly set in and the dark cloud of pool maintenance can loom high on the horizon.

Maintaining your swimming pool can become a really time consuming and arduous task, and certainly takes the edge off of the fun of being a swimming pool owner.  And a swimming pool is no foot spa purchase, you can’t just tuck it under the bed or hide it in the attic when you’ve had enough of it.

A cleaning system such as the Dolphin automatic pool cleaner robotic cleaners can save you a heap of time and trouble, if you chose the right system for your pool then cleaning your pool can be as easy as vacuuming your carpet, hands free!  Who wouldn’t find that idea attractive?

The Dolphin automatic pool cleaner claims to be the market leader in robotic pool cleaning solutions, their parent company Maytronic have been around making pool owner’s lives easier, for 25 years. It seems incredible that such a clever innovation and time saving application has been available in one form or another for so long, and we kind of wonder why not every pool has a dolphin pool cleaner system already?!

The main objection buyers probably have to wrangle with is the cost of a dolphin automatic pool cleaner, however dolphin offer a range of options available from many resellers around the globe, and you can often find a bargain on eBay, which is one reason why we created our own Dolphin pool cleaner store page to help you find a bargain.

Maytronics, who produce the Dolphin pool cleaner, have worked hard to build an international reputation for producing quality pool cleaning systems for both residential and public swimming pools. There’s a wide range of offerings to suit many budgets, that’s not to say there’s a “cheap” Dolphin pool cleaner, but with the effort, and more to point time they can save you, more time to enjoy your pool, they could be considered very good value for money.

The dolphin automatic pool cleaner is a member of the robotic pool cleaner family. These are probably the ultimate cleaning aid and big boys toy in one.Robotic pool cleaners are basically computer and/or remote controlled self contained vacuum cleaners for your pool that can even happily handle any size and most shapes of pool. Cleaners like the Dolphin pool cleaner can operate independently of your pools pump and filter system, pretty much a complete solution for the busy pool owner.

An alternative swimming pool cleaner type is the suction side pool cleaner. These usually use suction from your pool skimmer to suck filth from your pools floor, sending it round to be cleaned by your pools filter, pretty much as a vacuum cleaner sucks air in, filters it, and blows it out again. These are obviously less flexible, but more affordable than robotic pool cleaner types such as the dolphin pool cleaner.

Finally we have the pressure side pool cleaner, which use either the pool’s water return, or often a separate booster pump’s return pressure to force the debris and gunk into a bag attached to the cleaner. Smaller particles of dirt are basically stirred about and, with luck, dealt with by the pool filter.

The only downside to automatic and robotic pool cleaner systems is most appear unsuitable for above ground pools. More information on Dolphin pool cleaner and alternatives will be published shortly on CleanerPoolsOnline.com soon
