The article talks about the choice of cleaning equipment. And you can also find information on how to clean the bottom, waterline, walls of the structure from dirt. It tells about the types of cleaning devices.
What is a pool water vacuum cleaner?
In order for the water to be clear and clean, it is necessary to maintain cleanliness. A water vacuum cleaner for the pool does a good job of this.
With it, you can remove plaque, small debris, while saving on cleaning a large amount of time, effort and material resources.
Vacuum cleaner
Using a handheld vacuum cleaner for the pool, you can significantly increase the operational period of the filtration system.

For cleaning the bottom of the poolsTo remove dirty deposits, vacuum cleaners are needed that are used to clean pools. If we are talking about cleaning inflatable or frame options, then you can choose a manual device.

There are various models of vacuum cleaners for the pool. First, consider the manual options.
When choosing a vacuum cleaner specifically for a pool, the area of the cleaned structure should be taken into account. If we are talking about the manual version, then usually two nozzles and a telescopic rod are included. We list the types of nozzles that come with the kit:
- net skimmer net - with its help, a water vacuum cleaner removes grass, leaves, insects, small debris that has fallen into the construction area with water;
- option with a brush - with its help they clean the walls, steps, the bowl from dirt, silt; the device is connected to the garden hose before starting work, with the help of the supplying water the pollution rises from the bottom, then they accumulate in a replaceable bag located on the equipment body.

Such a device is able to clean the frame or inflatable option with a capacity of not more than 40 cubic meters. m. At the same time, it is not necessary to drain the structure or drain the water during the cleaning period.
If the design is stationary and it is of impressive capacity, then you should not use a manual water option.
This technique has nozzles that, before starting work, are connected to a water garden hose.
With this hose, which is connected to the device, when supplying water, you can remove sludge, dirt, debris that accumulate on the walls and at the bottom of the structure.
With the help of nozzles mounted on a telescopic rod, you can reach and remove the most inaccessible places.
This technique is completely safe. A skimmer or a special nozzle is used to attach the hose and rod.
We list the advantages of manual water device options:
- they are affordable;
- it’s easy to work with them;
- perfectly cope with the cleansing of small ponds;
- the device can be connected using a special adapter or connected directly to a vacuum nozzle;
- the design consists of a powerful engine, a corrugated hose, a telescopic rod made of metal, an electric cable, and a brush.
When choosing a technique, be sure to consider the size of the structure with water. Choose options with a longer handle if the design is deep. This model is very well suited for small artificial ponds.
What are semi-automatic pool vacuum cleaners?
There are models of semi-automatic water vacuum cleaners.They can change the flow rate of water.
In addition, this technique with brushes having a more complex structure. Using the above unit, it is possible to quickly and efficiently clean the construction bowl.

In this case, the device is connected to the skimmer. They can also be connected to a filtration system.
Using a membrane, the technician attaches to the selected area at the bottom of the bowl, removes dirt, debris, and then begins to clean another area - this is how the circular pool water treatment system works.
In a chaotic manner, the device moves along the bottom of a structure filled with water.
Semi-automatic vacuum options are an intermediate link between automatic robots and manual water equipment.
This technique is connected to the skimmers. It also randomly moves along the bottom of a structure filled with water.
The principle of operation of this technique is that it, with the help of special membranes, is attached to the bottom surface, removes debris, dirt and then starts cleaning in another place.
Such models are in demand for cleaning stationary, frame, collapsible structures. Some of them have special garbage bags that collect litter, silt, and dirt.
There are models that can be quickly and without tools connected to the skimmer. With this technique, you can clean faster.
It is very similar to manual models, however it is equipped with modernized special cleaning brushes that simplify and speed up the cleaning process.
Advantages of this technique:
- the ability to perform quality cleaning;
- suitable for many types of artificial reservoirs, including stationary ones;
- high-quality removal of dirt from the bottom;
- excellent cleaning speed;
- automatic regulation of water flow.
What is an automatic vacuum cleaner for pool cleaning?
This technique is also called. robotic vacuum cleaners for the cleaning. Without an operator, they can work for a maximum of 8 hours. The owner of the equipment simply sets up a specific program and after completion of the work the equipment is completely turned off.

This underwater vacuum cleaner controlled by remote control.
We list the advantages of this technique:
- well suited for cleaning various structures with water;
- indispensable for oval, round designs;
- simple operation - just install it in water, turn it on;
- a simple model will cope with cleaning only the bottom.

What to look for when choosing an automatic vacuum cleaner for cleaning the pool?
If it is important for you to clean well not only the bottom, but also to get rid of the wall dirt from a good quality, we recommend that you pay attention to the special fan on the equipment. It will allow the device to move along the side walls of the construction bowl.
When choosing a model, pay attention to the material from which the brush is made. It is better to choose polystyrene foam - it is durable.
It is worth noting that brushes need to be changed regularly, and garbage bags will occasionally need to be washed or changed.
We list the advantages of using automation:
- compact sizes;
- simplicity of operation;
- reliability.
With the help of automatic technology, you can significantly save on the purchase of various chemicals intended for cleaning.

In addition, the robot is able to improve water circulation, save electricity and water, because it performs its work quite quickly, which allows you to not overpay for the consumed electricity and save on water.

Interestingly, a garden vacuum cleaner is indispensable not only for cleaning structures filled with water, but also for cleaning small debris near the structure.
How to clean the walls, waterline and bottom of the pool from dirt using a vacuum cleaner for the pool?
The easiest way to clean is with a robot.It is simply completely immersed in water - this also applies to the electrical part.

If we are talking about cleaning with manual or semi-automatic equipment, then the electrical components of such models must be left on the surface.
Robot models are powered by a transformer that supplies low voltage. When choosing a product, pay attention to the length of the cable - the radius of the equipment will depend on it.
Directly the sides, steps, the surface of the bowl clean the brushes of the apparatus. Various pollution sucks technique.
Since automatic water models are not connected to the filtration system or to the skimmer, they easily move along the entire surface of the structure, which is very convenient.
All contaminants enter the filter. Note that after each cleaning, you need to clean the filter of debris.
You can configure the robot model to work in the following modes: it can function in a radio-controlled mode or use the program.
In the latter case, a specific trajectory of the motion of the equipment is initially set.
If the walls are too dirty, then you can use the radio mode.
Increasingly, robotic models are used to clean large areas. With their help, you can remove the entire territory in a maximum of 2 hours and perform this work very efficiently.
Such devices are relevant for the commercial use of huge structures. Robot models very quickly remove them and do not allow objects to stand idle.
