My pool is about 18 x 45 and I need an automatic pool cleaner, the inside is concrete and I am wondering which one is the best. There are just way to many to find out which one to get. Please help, thanks in advance.
Answer
depends on wether you get mostly dirt or mostly leaves and large debris.
for dirt,suction type cleaners are the best:kreepy krauly is my favorite not many parts....some people like hayward navigator and sta rite pool shark
for leaves and large debris,a pressure type cleaner such as polaris or viper is good...they have bags which trap debris

Which is CHEAPER to install, a fiberglass pool or concrete pool.?

Also, which is easier to maintain and keep clean. I've been doing research but have found mixed messages. Some people say concrete is cheaper and some say fiberglass is cheaper. Please help!Confused...
Answer
To be honest, neither is cheaper - it depends on what company you go to and what extras you want with your pool (eg: pool lights, fencing, landscaping, automatic cleaners, chlorinator etc...)
In the long run a fibreglass pool is easier to maintain. If heating the pool the fibreglass will retain the heat longer whereas a concrete pool will suck alot of the heat into the ground.
Fibreglass also use next to nothing with chemicals. You treat them maybe once a month depending on the season but with concrete you need to use alot more chemicals such as hardener and calcium remover etc. Fibreglass pools dont grow calcium as quick as a concrete. You will normally have calcium in a concrete pool within the first year and fibreglass is normally 7 years.
Another thing to note is installation times. Fibreglass will normally be installed within two weeks and concrete can take up to 6 months or more depending on the weather. So site costs can add up if the site is open longer.
Personally i prefer fibreglass. It is much nicer towards you swim wear and after 8 hours of continuous swimming it wont hurt your feet (Pebblecrete rips up your feet!)
Its personal preference really. The bad thing about fibreglass is that its pretty much what you see is what you get, in terms of sizes and shapes.
Good luck!
