It's Simple, When Considering The Total Time
It Takes To Clean Any Pool

      Ninety percent (90%) of the time, a Pool Blaster will clean even a large pool, far faster than any automatic pool cleaner can.   This is so, because the time it takes to clean a pool is not simply limited to the actual time the cleaner is in the water, but often as much as an eight (8) step process.   The Total Time  includes (1) Removing the cleaner from storage; (2) Setting it up, by attaching power cords or installation of hoses; (3) Placing the unit in the water; (4) Warm up time if any; (5) The Actual Cleaning Cycle; (6) Cooling off time, if any; (7) Removing the unit from the pool; and, (8) Returning the cleaner to storage.

     Suction-side and Pressure-side cleaners must be installed by connecting the cleaner to the hose and the hose to the suction or return line, connected to the main filter pump or a booster pump.    This time can be saved by leaving a Kreepy Krauly or Polaris in the pool, all the time.  The disadvantages of this are two-fold: (1) Many who enjoy the beauty of their pool do not want an ugly cleaner and bulky hoses to be in the way; and. (2) Having the cleaner always attached reduces the efficiency and adds wear and tear to the main filtering system, and uses an enormous amount of energy. 

      Robotic cleaner do not generally require any installation, but they are much larger and bulkier and storage time is a factor.  They still need to be connected to a power outlet, and the manufacturer's recommend a cool down period before removing the unit from the pool.

      A lightweight Pool Blaster requires no set-up or cool down periods and can be stored in any convenient place, quickly and easily.  However, the greatest time savings is in The Actual Cleaning Cycle.

      Automatic pool cleaners do not necessarily clean faster than the traditional manual method; they clean automatically, saving effort and the actual cleaning time of the pool owner during the cleaning cycle. However, they clean huge expanses of the pool, most of the floor and some of the walls, and sometimes portions of the steps. (but not the corners, in and around ladders, and only pass over clogged drains).   In other words, they cover portions of the pool that might not even be dirty!

      No pool cleaner is designed to clean a neglected pool.  Every manufacturer recommends the pool owner first manually clean the pool, and start with a relatively clean pool.   Pool cleaners best maintain the cleanliness of a pool, preventing build up of leaves, dirt and algae.

       In reality, leaves, dirt and algae collect in only certain areas of the pool ... leaves on the surface until sinking, and everything in the corners, creases and crevices, on the steps and around obstructions like ladders, or at the entrance to the main drain or skimmers.

Except in a totally-neglected pool, that cannot be effectively cleaned with a pool cleaner, leaves, dirt and algae
tend to collect in only a small portion of the pool.  Automatic pool cleaners don't know the difference, and
spend more time and effort cleaning areas that do not need to be cleaned.

        With a Pool Blaster, you clean ONLY THE DIRTY AREAS!   And often the dirtiest areas are routinely missed by the automatic pool cleaners.  Fast and Efficient is synonymous with "Pool Blaster."
