Backwashing and rinsing your filter regularly will also help. Many factors impact upon the performance of your pool cleaner, including dirty filters, excessive chemical use, unbalanced water and incorrect suction levels.

Talk to your local Swimart pool and spa specialist about how to maximise the performance of your pool cleaner year-round.

TIP: Clean your skimmer box and pump basket and backwash your filter regularly to keep your cleaner in top condition.
