You’ll have more time to enjoy swimming and less time worrying about upkeep!
What Is A Self-Cleaning Pool?
A self-cleaning pool is fitted with an in-floor cleaning system that uses strategically placed cleaning heads, jets and drains to circulate water and move debris toward a collection point. These systems are built into the pool during construction, making them far more integrated than robotic cleaners or suction-side units that need to be placed in the pool manually.
Once installed, the system works automatically and largely out of sight. Instead of relying on portable equipment or regular manual vacuuming, the pool uses its own built-in circulation and cleaning components to help keep the floor, steps, benches and other surfaces cleaner on an ongoing basis.
What is QuikClean Xtreme?
QuikClean Xtreme is the world’s most advanced in-floor cleaning system, designed to deliver a more complete, efficient and effective clean. Put simply, QuikClean Xtreme transforms your pool into a self-cleaning pool.
Cleaning is only one of its advantages. The circulation created by the system helps improve water quality and encourages more even distribution of chemical treatments and water temperature throughout the pool. This can help reduce treatment and heating costs while creating a cleaner, fresher swimming environment.
Why Fibreglass Pools Are Ideal For Self-Cleaning Systems
Fibreglass pools are already known as one of the easiest pool types to maintain. Their smooth, non-porous surface helps resist algae growth and makes it harder for dirt and contaminants to cling to the shell compared with rougher pool surfaces such as concrete.
That makes fibreglass pools an excellent match for self-cleaning systems. When you combine a low-maintenance fibreglass pool shell with an automated in-floor cleaning system, you create one of the most efficient and easy-care pool setups available.
Because fibreglass pools are factory manufactured, the cleaning heads and debris removal components can also be positioned precisely during production. This helps maximise cleaning coverage and improves the overall performance of the system.
How does it work?
The debris removal drain and cleaning heads are built into your new pool shell at the Barrier Reef factory. This ensures they are watertight, colour matched to the pool interior and almost invisible, as they sit flush with the floor, steps and benches.
The cleaning heads operate in sequence and rotate through 360 degrees, shooting jets of clean, filtered water that push dirt and debris toward the drain in the deep end of the pool. Debris is then removed through the drain and collected in a leaf canister located next to your pump. The water is filtered and cleaned before returning to the pool through the cleaning heads, where the cycle continues.
This methodical process is designed to create strong and consistent water movement throughout the entire pool. Some of the benefits go beyond visible cleanliness, because improved circulation also helps reduce dead spots and supports more balanced water chemistry.
Exclusive advantages
Not all self-cleaning pools are the same. A Barrier Reef self-cleaning pool is superior to all other systems and includes the following exclusive advantages:
- With a Barrier Reef self-cleaning pool you will benefit from complete cleaning coverage across all steps, benches and the floor area. This is not a feature of all competitor systems.
- The AVSC drain is the only single-suction drain approved for fibreglass pools. As a single suction point, the drain is more effective at removing debris and looks better in your pool because you don’t require additional suction points.
- The AVSC drain and cleaning heads are colour-matched and sit flush with your pool interior so they’re almost invisible and you won’t notice them in your pool.
- QuikClean Xtreme is the only cleaning system designed to suit variable speed pumps. The QuikSkim venturi skimmer uses just 30 litres of return water to generate a powerful skimming action equivalent to 200+ litres per minute. No other system generates such extraordinary energy efficiency.
- Not only is QuikClean Xtreme the most efficient system to operate, it will save you even more money in the long term with very low maintenance costs which are less than all other systems.
- The long-term value of a QuikClean Xtreme system is incredible. Your investment is secured with a lifetime warranty provided for the cleaning heads, saving you thousands of dollars throughout the life of your pool.
Are Self-Cleaning Pools Worth It For Fibreglass Owners?
For many fibreglass pool owners, the answer is yes. Fibreglass pools are already a lower-maintenance pool option, and when you combine that with a built-in self-cleaning system, the result is a pool that is significantly easier to look after.
If you value your time, want a pool that stays cleaner with less effort, and like the idea of better circulation and a more streamlined backyard setup, a self-cleaning system can be a very worthwhile investment. The upfront cost is balanced by the convenience, long-term cleanliness, improved water quality and greater enjoyment that come with easier ownership.
For families, retirees and homeowners who want the benefits of a pool without turning maintenance into a regular chore, the upgrade is especially appealing.
