A Robot Can’t Replace a Human Giving a F*ck
In this episode, Sarah Bero walks through the pros, cons, and must-know facts about the most common pool cleaning systems—suction cleaners, pressure cleaners, robotic cleaners, and in-floor cleaning systems. With a no-BS approach, Sarah breaks down what each system does, what they don’t do, and why no machine will ever fully replace the trained eye (and grit) of a human pool tech.
💡 Takeaways:
- Suction cleaners are effective for light debris but require caution to avoid safety hazards.
- Pressure cleaners can be powerful but come with added costs and maintenance.
- Robotic cleaners offer convenience but aren’t perfect for every pool.
- In-floor systems vary in success depending on design and upkeep.
- Human pool techs deliver a level of care and detail machines simply can’t.
- Regular upkeep is critical no matter what cleaning system is in place.
- Choosing the right cleaner depends on your pool’s size, layout, and debris load.
- Safety considerations should always be front and center.
- Investing in quality tools and systems saves headaches down the road.
