I have a Zodiac. Do I still need to vacum my pool to get smaller particles out?

Or will the Zodiac take care of it?|||More than likely yes.





Automatic pool cleaners, are usually a random cleaner and will take time to cover every area of the pool.





The best course of action is to vacuum the pool manually to get it completely clean, then to put in the automatic cleaner. This way the cleaner will keep your pool clean.





As for pulling out smaller particles, this usually depends on your filter type. The filter is what is removing the particles in the water. The better the filter the more it removes. Filters go from D.E. , to Cartridge to Sand. D.E. filters being the best. If the small particles are stuff that is consistently suspended in the water, you will need to add some sort of a water clarifier to remove them.





Most Zodiac pool cleaners move the vacuumed water through the filter and that is what removes the debris.


Unless you have a model that contains its own filtration. It is up to your filter to remove the particles.





So even though you may not have to manually vacuum as often, you will still have to occasionally vacuum by hand to get your pool 100% clean.
