Pool Vacuum Cleaners

A pool vacuum cleaner will keep your pool looking sparkling clean and inviting all season long and most will do it while you're away or sleeping. With the many different types of vacuums available on the market you really have lots of choices depending on your budget and needs. If you are looking for complete automation there are great robotic automated cleaners that will clean your pool during downtime so it's nice and clean when you're ready to use.  

There are also many great automated cleaners that operate either from the suction or pressure side of your pool system. They add an element of convenience because they operate on the same timing system as the rest of your pool hardware. A battery powered handheld cleaner is a great supplement to automated cleaners and can be used as the primary source of cleaning for smaller pools or spas. 

Technology has advanced in leaps and bounds in the pool vacuum cleaner industry, today’s models are more efficient, more reliable and last longer than ever before. An automated pool vacuum will make your pool maintenance so much easier and allow you more time to enjoy your pool. There are several options available when considering how to keep your pool spotless so be sure to follow the links to learn more about the amazing options as well as our recommended picks for salt water pool owners. 

Types of Pool Vacuum Cleaners

There are four main types of pool vacuum cleaners that operate using different types of power. A suction pool cleaner uses the intake pressure caused by the pool pump in the circulation system. A pressure cleaner uses the opposite force, it derives power from the outward pressure created by the pool pump on the return line. A robot pool cleaner is an independent unit that uses corded electricity while a battery powered cleaner is self explanatory but may use regular or rechargeable batteries.

Suction Pool Cleaners

All suction pool cleaners are operated by simply attaching the flexible hose to the return line of your pool system. They draw vacuum power and mobility from the suction produced by your pool water pump. The intake line acts very similar to how a central vacuum system works in your home. When the pump is operating you can be sure that your pool vacuum cleaner will be able to draw enough suction to keep your pool clean all season long. 

Pressure Pool Cleaners

A pressure pool cleaner utilizes the water pressure from your existing pool water pump to power its movement as well as the onboard turbine that vacuums debris into the unit. It's called a pressure side cleaner because they are designed to work using forced water from the pressure or return side of the pool circulation system. The cleaner can be attached to your existing plumbing system or it can be run off of a dedicated line with a separate booster pump. 

Robot Pool Cleaners

A fully automated and self-contained robot pool cleaner that runs on electrical power is the most advanced way to keep a pool clean, and they work. They don't rely on the intake or return line of pool making them completely independent of your existing pool system. This means that they won't hinder the pools circulation system and can operate on their own schedule. They can be operated by a remote control or set to work in a pre-determined pattern that won't miss any corner of your pool. 

Battery Powered Pool Cleaners

A battery powered pool cleaner is the ultimate in convenience and ideal for spot cleaning or even keeping an entire small pool or hot tub clean. They operate on typical AA batteries or more commonly in recent years, rechargeable lithium ion batteries that can be recharged over and over again. You can let your automatic pool cleaner do the dirty work and when you need to do some minor cleaning or get in those hard to reach areas, a battery powered cleaner is perfect.

If you are in the market for a pool vacuum cleaner you are faced with many choices but the good news is there is a cleaner that's perfect for your pool. We hope that this helps you make an informed decision and you can enjoy your crystal clear pool for many years to come.
