Pool Cleaners Basics

Let’s start with the basics—what is a pool cleaner? It’s a tool that helps keep your pool clean by removing dirt, debris, and algae. While your pool filter works to circulate and filter the water, a pool cleaner focuses on cleaning the pool’s surface and floor where dirt builds up.

Why do you need one?

  • It saves you time by doing the cleaning work for you.
  • It keeps your pool clean and safe to swim in.
  • It helps reduce the need for too many chemicals by removing dirt and debris directly.

Key Components of Pool Cleaners

👉 Hoses and Cords
Each pool cleaner comes equipped with hoses or cords (for powered cleaners) to allow it to reach across the pool's surface and depths. These should be long enough to cover the entire pool area.

👉 Brushes/Filters
Depending on the cleaner, you may find rotating brushes to scrub surfaces or filters to capture smaller debris like leaves.

👉 Vacuum Mechanism
The vacuum function is critical for sucking up debris. Whether it’s powered by suction, pressure, or robotics, this serves as the centerpiece of all pool cleaners.

👉 Navigation System
Advanced pool cleaners, particularly robotic ones, feature internal navigation chips and sensors to move efficiently and avoid obstacles.

Types of Pool Cleaners

1. Robotic Pool Cleaners

Robotic pool cleaners are often considered the best choice by many homeowners because they combine advanced technology with excellent cleaning power. These devices are self-contained and run on electricity, so they don’t depend on your pool’s filtration system to work.

Pros: Cons:
  • They clean your pool efficiently, removing dirt, leaves, and even small particles.
  • Smart navigation systems help them cover the entire pool effectively.
  • They save energy in the long run.
  • They cost more upfront than other types of pool cleaners.

2. Suction Pool Cleaners

Suction pool cleaners attach directly to your pool’s filter system, using suction to vacuum dirt and debris. They work best in pools with minimal debris.

Pros: Cons:
  • Affordable and easy to set up.
  • Great for routine cleaning of smaller debris.
  • Limited ability to handle large debris or tough stains.
  • Depends heavily on your pool pump’s power.

3. Pressure Pool Cleaners

Pressure-side cleaners attach to your pool’s return jet and use water pressure to move around and clean up debris. Some models include their own filter bags, which help reduce the work for your pool’s filtration system.

Pros: Cons:
  • Effective at removing larger debris like leaves.
  • Durable and less reliant on your pool’s filter.
  • Requires a booster pump for optimal performance in certain cases.

4. Automatic Pool Cleaners

Automatic cleaners are a broad group of devices that help clean pools with minimal effort. They don’t require you to do the work manually but only offer basic features. They are a good choice for pools that don’t need heavy cleaning.

Pros: Cons:
  • Cost-effective option for light cleaning.
  • Eases manual cleaning effort.
  • Limited efficiency compared to robotic or pressure-side cleaners.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Pool Cleaners

Choosing the right pool cleaner can feel overwhelming with so many options available. To make the decision easier, consider these important factors:

✅ Pool Size and Shape
If you have a large or irregular-shaped pool, a robotic cleaner with advanced navigation might work best. For smaller, rectangular pools, a suction-side cleaner could be enough.

✅ Type of Debris

  • If your pool is near trees or plants, you may need a pressure-side cleaner to handle leaves and twigs.
  • If your pool mostly collects dirt or sand, a suction-side cleaner might be a better fit.

✅ Maintenance
Robotic cleaners are easier to maintain since they collect debris in a basket you can empty quickly. Suction and pressure-side cleaners rely on your pool’s filter, which will require more upkeep.

✅ Budget
Pool cleaner costs depend on their type and features. Think about how much you’re willing to spend and consider the long-term benefits of having a cleaner pool.

✅ Energy Use
If energy costs are a concern, robotic cleaners are often more energy-efficient than pressure-side cleaners, saving you money over time.

Pool Cleaners FAQs

What is the best thing to clean a pool with?

The best way to clean a pool often depends on the specific cleaning needs of your pool and personal preferences. A combination of a good quality pool cleaner—whether robotic, pressure, or suction—along with manual tools such as skimmers, brushes, and handheld vacuums ensures comprehensive cleaning. Additionally, maintaining the right chemical balance is crucial to keeping the pool water clean and safe.

Is it cheaper to clean your own pool?

Cleaning your pool can be more cost-effective than hiring a professional service, especially in the long term. While the initial investment in cleaning equipment and chemicals may be significant, the ongoing costs are generally lower than paying for regular professional cleaning. However, it requires a time commitment and a good understanding of proper pool maintenance techniques.

What are pool cleaners called?

Pool cleaners are generally categorised into three main types: robotic, pressure, and suction cleaners. Each type has its specific advantages and operational methods, offering different levels of automation and cleaning efficiency. Additionally, there are manual cleaning tools like skimmers, brushes, and vacuums for more hands-on maintenance.

What is the best product to keep a pool clean?

A multi-faceted approach is best for keeping a pool clean. High-quality pool sanitisers such as chlorine or bromine are essential for maintaining water cleanliness and safety. Additionally, algaecides, water clarifiers, and pH balancers help maintain the pool's chemical balance. Regular use of a reliable pool cleaner, whether robotic, pressure, or suction, complements these products by removing physical debris and contaminants.
