What are Some Different Types of Automatic Pool Cleaners?

There are three main types of automatic pool cleaners: suction side, pressure side, and robotic. Suction side pool cleaners 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. Pressure side cleaners 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. Robotic pool cleaners are computer-controlled pool vacuums that can scrub any size pool and operate independently from your pump and filter system. Polaris, Dolphin, Aquabot, Dirt Devil, Pool Rover, Robo-Kleen, Baracuda, Hayward, and Kreepy Krauly all make good models of pool cleaners.

There are basically three different types of automatic pool cleaners used to maintain a swimming pool. The first type is the automatic pressure-side cleaner that works by using water pressure coming from a pump. The pump may either be the main circulation pump for the pool or it can be a pump specifically set up as a booster pump for this type of cleaner. Inside the pump is a bag that collects all debris that has been pushed out by the cleaner as it moves throughout the water. This type of pool cleaner will not suck large debris such as leaves into the pool’s filter. Having a dedicated booster pump for this purpose will help keep the pool cleaner for longer periods of time, meaning less maintenance. Have a non-dedicated pump and using the main circulation pump is less expensive because you don’t need to install the extra pump. It is good to remember that pressure-side pool cleaners cannot filter small particles through the bag inside the pump. A second type of cleaner, the automatic su
