How Does An Automatic Pool Cleaner Work?

Automatic-Pool-Cleaner-Cincinnati-OHAs any pool owner knows, over the course of a season, plenty of debris can collect at the bottom of a pool. Leaves, pebbles, and lawn trimmings can all work their way in there, and vacuuming them up on your own can get tedious after a while. An automatic pool cleaner removes this responsibility.

A suction-side cleaner, usually the most affordable option, is hooked to one of the pool’s suction ports via a hose. The device travels a random path, sending debris to the filter or strainer basket. Bursts of water provide the energy the cleaner needs to travel through the pool.

Another option, a pressure-side automatic pool cleaner, hooks up to the return side of a pool’s filtration system. Water that the filter pumps back into the pool propels the device, which, along with cleaning the pool, helps to distribute the clean, filtered water throughout it. However, their bags have a tendency to fill up quickly and need to be emptied regularly for the device to work.

A robotic cleaner might be more expensive than other models, but because it doesn’t use the filtration system for power, the filter works at maximum efficiency. Robotic pool cleaners are plugged into to a power source away from the pool and travel throughout it, cleaning up debris automatically. Some models allow you to customize the path they travel or control them via remote.
