Does Passion Recommend a particular brand of pool cleaner?
Yes. We recommend "The Pool Cleaner" from POOLVERGNUEGEN and it is only available through a pool service like Passion Pool Care.
Why do we recommend them?
Because they are reliable. They pick up more debris making your pool cleaner AND they don't break down as often as the most common cleaners on the market today saving you money.
Cost: Aproximately $450 installed.
Here are the basics:
The Pool Cleaner has three different models. One for pressure side cleaning, and two for suction side cleaning. The two for suction side cleaning are different only in that one is designed for play pools (a two wheel model) and one is designed for diving pools (a four wheel model.)
The following is the description of the most common, the 2 Wheel POOLCLEANER™ designed for play pools and the features that make it unique and why we recommend them:
SELF ADJUSTING TURBINE VANES
All the POOLCLEANER™ cleaners have the patented self-adjusting turbines, which maximizes the power from the water flow. This turbine is similar to a paddle wheel with blades that are adjustable. This feature allows the POOLCLEANER™ to still move at low suction and low pressure. In addition the folding vanes of the turbine allow for the easy passage of larger debris through the cleaner.
STEERING SYSTEM
The 2x Suction POOLCLEANER™ has an internal programmed steering system, that causes the left wheel to periodically reverse, allowing the POOLCLEANER™ to turn and then move into another direction. For the 2x Suction POOLCLEANER™ there are five different programmed turns ranging from 90 to 450 degrees. This feature allows the POOLCLEANER™ to cover not only the deep end, but also the shallow end. The POOLCLEANER™ has no problem with uneven surfaces or strange shapes. It won’t stick in a corner, or get hung up by a main drain.
ROBUST TIRE TREADS
One look and you will see that the patented tire treads give the POOLCLEANER™ better climbing ability and obstacle maneuverability. The tires come with tread wear markers that show you when to replace your tires. The front tires of the POOLCLEANER™ have humps (raised treads) that allow the POOLCLEANER™ to overcome any reasonable obstacles such as the main drain and uneven surfaces. This makes the POOLCLEANER™ ideal for all pool surfaces and shapes.

ADJUSTABLE SKIRT
The POOLCLEANER™ has patented adjustable skirts that allow the cleaner to maintain optimal suction under the machine even when it encounters obstacles. When the POOLCLEANER™ encounters an obstacle one (or more) of the skirts will lift up (adjust) over the obstacle while maintaining suction under the cleaner.
