Automatic Pool Cleaners are a lazy-man's dream come true. Automatic swimming pool vacuums and sweepers are perfect for the busy person who doesn't have time for weekly cleaning. Let one of our automatic swimming pool cleaning products take care of the everyday mess. It won't take you long to figure out that these affordably priced cleaning systems are what you've been missing. There are basically three types of cleaning systems: Suction Side, Pressure Side, and Robotic. Suction Side - These use the pools own suction, usually from the skimmer, to suck dirt & debris off the bottom of the pool and it is cleaned by the filter. Think of it as a water powered vacuum cleaner. The only drawback to these is that while using them, you are tying up your skimmer which limits your ability to clean the surface of the water. Pressure Side - These use one of the water returns or a secondary booster pump's return pressure to push the dirt & debris into a bag on the cleaner. Fine dirt is stirred up and eventually cleaned by the filter. The good thing about these is that they don't tie up the skimmer so your surface gets cleaned. The drawback is that they are tying up one of your return lines which can interfere with your circulation. Also, they are not removing the dirt, but they are keeping it stirred up so the filter can get it naturally. Robotic - These are computer-controlled pool vacuums that can scrub any size pool and operate independently from your pump and filter system. These robotic systems have an internal microchip that controls their movements. These are the most recommended.

Swimming Pool Filters are an essential part of your swimming pools operation.   The pool filter is what removes the fine particulates from the water and enables you to swim in a clean clear pool.  A quality filter provides durability and enhanced performance for a clearer swimming pool. Choosing a new filter can be a very confusing task.  After all, there are so many different types and sizes and brands of filters and you don't want to make a mistake. There are basically 3 types of filters:  Sand Filters, Cartridge Filters and Diatomaceous Earth or DE Filters. Each one can be very effective depending on your particular aquatic set up.

Now that you have a backyard swimming pool, you'll want to use it as much as possible. Make the most of your investment by adding a solar pool heater, gaspool heater, or heat pump to your swimming pool. You can extend your swimming season and spend more time in your pool because a pool heater or heat pump maintains a consistently inviting and comfortable water temperature.

Solar pool heaters allow you to take advantage of the sun's free energy. Solar heaters are extremely efficient, inexpensive to operate, and are the ultimate in environmental friendliness. When combined with a solar pool cover, also known as a solar blanket, your solar pool heater will maintain a comfortable water temperature well into the cooler months. A heat pump is another good choice for efficiently heating your swimming pool. Heat pumps take heat from the air and transfer it to the pool water. This makes the heating process ecologically safe, clean, and cost effective. In addition, heat pumps are easy to operate and can be used even in frigid conditions. Gas or propane pool heaters are yet another option for extending your swimming season. Each of our gas heaters is highly efficient, durable, and corrosion resistant. In addition, many of the gas heaters we offer are environmentally safe -- they meet national air quality standards for low Nitrogen Oxide emissions. Whether you choose a solar pool heater, a heat pump, or a gas pool heater for your swimming pool, you can feel confident that you have selected a high quality product at the best price.

Swimming pool pumps are available in several sizes for your pool and spa. Pool pumps are the heart of your filtration system and combined with the proper filter are the most important piece of equipment for your swimming pool. Pool pumps and filters keep your water clean and clear when used regularly. TCS Pools sells high quality pool pumps from Hayward, Sta-Rite and Jacuzzi.
