Or will the Zodiac take care of it?
Answer
More than likely yes.
Automatic pool cleaners, are usually a random cleaner and will take time to cover every area of the pool.
The best course of action is to vacuum the pool manually to get it completely clean, then to put in the automatic cleaner. This way the cleaner will keep your pool clean.
As for pulling out smaller particles, this usually depends on your filter type. The filter is what is removing the particles in the water. The better the filter the more it removes. Filters go from D.E. , to Cartridge to Sand. D.E. filters being the best. If the small particles are stuff that is consistently suspended in the water, you will need to add some sort of a water clarifier to remove them.
Most Zodiac pool cleaners move the vacuumed water through the filter and that is what removes the debris.
Unless you have a model that contains its own filtration. It is up to your filter to remove the particles.
So even though you may not have to manually vacuum as often, you will still have to occasionally vacuum by hand to get your pool 100% clean.

Professional pool maintenance - what to expect?

I recently bought my first home with a built-in pool. I have a weekly pool guy coming to maintain it on Mondays. By Thursday, the pool has a greenish color and clarity is reduced. On Monday, he spends about 10 minutes adding chems, a little brushing and netting, and leaves. By Tuesday the water quality is better, Wednesday pretty good, then it goes downhill from through weekend.
Shouldn't the pool be nice and clear for more than a couple of days? I don't have leaves or debris, my filter pump operates daily from noon til 8pm and the robot cleaner works for 2 hours each day.
Answer
Even without a nice blue hat :rolleyes: you should be getting better service than this.
If the pool doesn't stay crystal clear between visits then he isn't doing his job.
My suggestion is to get rid of him, take a sample of water to your local pool store and have them test it for the following:
Total chlorine
Free chlorine
Combined chlorine
pH
Alkalinity
Hardness
Cyanuric acid
Total dissolved solids
Metals
Phosphates
Don't purchase anything from the store right now, just bring the results back and post them here or email them to me at robandliz1992@yahoo.com and I'll be more than happy to help you get your pool cleared up and on a maintenance schedule that takes less than 20 mintues a day to maintain a crystal clear and health pool all by yourself.
Please include the gallon size of the pool, chemicals you have on hand (ingredients are best but name brands will work too), filtration system type (sand, cartridge, DE), chlorination system (pucks in the skimmer, floating chlorinator, or automatic feeder), and the above readings.
The chemicals you may or may not need are as follows:
Calcium chloride
Chlorine (calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite.. which I'll explain the difference between)
Baking soda
20 Mule Team Borax
Muriatic acid
Cyanuric acid (Stabilizer)
and polyquat (Algaecide 60 no matter what name brand).
Chemicals alone will cost you less than $200 for the entire season, so you'll start saving money immediately depending on how much your pool guy is charging per month now.
BTW, I don't charge for services or help.... just in case you were wondering. I'm just happy to be of help to anyone with pool problems.
