What is the Pool Cleaner Roller?
The Pool Cleaner Roller is made for the robotzoo Blue Swimmer pool cleaners. Rollers come in two varieties:
-
- Nylon Rollers.
These are made of a soft but durable pvc material, with large flaps.
They are designed to rub against the pool surface as it rotates, so wiping off any surface algae or stain on the pool walls (or floor).
Nylon rollers are suitable for most pool surfaces, but where the surface is very smooth, foam rollers should be considered.
-
- Foam Rollers.
Made of a dense, water absorbing sponge material, foam rollers will give better traction on all pool surfaces.
And so the cleaner will go a bit faster, and cover more area during its cleaning run.
Foam rollers are essential for pool surfaces that have large gloss tiles, where the nylon rollers will be prone to slippage on the ultra-smooth tile surface.
More importantly, pools with large gloss tiles will normally have a square (right angled) boundary between the pool floor and the walls.
A pool cleaner with nylon rollers will have difficulty negotiating this boundary.
That’s because the nylon roller will have trouble gaining enough traction on the pool wall, to be able to pull the cleaner up onto the wall.
A pool cleaner with foam rollers will have no trouble negotiating this boundary.
