Types of Pool Cleaners

Suction-side

This pool cleaner uses the natural suction of your pool filter to create a vacuum for your pool cleaner. This type is usually the cheapest and easiest to operate. Adversely, larger debris may cause the skimmer to clog. You will need to adjust different settings and set-ups to make sure your entire pool area is covered. If your pool cleaning needs have mostly to do with dirt and not debris, a suction-side cleaner is the answer. This cleaner is Inexpensive and reliable, and is a great option for the casual or smaller pool owner.

Pressure-side

This type of cleaner uses the water pressure from a booster pump connected to a pool return to create vacuum under the cleaner to vacuum your pool. Water that is pumped or “pushed” back to the pool propels this type of cleaner, which have their own hydraulic power plant inside.

Being on the pressure side and not the suction-side or vacuum side, pressure cleaners have distinct advantages:
They are helpful in distributing clean filtered water around the pool
Having their own debris bag means that they don’t compromise the filter system.
Even when bag full, a pressure cleaner still operates, stirring up debris from the bottomof the pool

Making sure you empty this bag on a regular basis will allow it to take care of pool debris. Keep in mind you will need a booster pump to create adequate pressure.

Robotic

This pool cleaner has a self-contained filtration system and operates completely independently of your pool pump and filter. These devices can clean your pool faster and more effectively than other cleaners. They can be programmed or operated by remote control to customize their cleaning for your specific pool. If you have a larger pool or areas that can be difficult to clean, the extra expense of this pool cleaner can be easily justified.

Additionally, there are robotic technology and designs available with additional features that address the special challenges of bio and natural pools.
