Automatic Pool Cleaners are the ultimate pool accessory. Automatic swimming pool vacuums are perfect for the busy person who doesn't have time for weekly pool cleaning. An automatic swimming pool cleaner can take care of the everyday mess all by itself. It won't take you long to realize that an affordable pool cleaner is what you've been missing.

There are three types of automatic pool cleaners: Suction Side, Pressure Side, and Robotic Pool Cleaners.

Suction Side - These use the power of the pools own suction, usually from the skimmer, to suck dirt and debris off the bottom of the pool and send it to the filter. Think of it as a water powered vacuum cleaner. The only drawback to these is that while using them, you are tying up your skimmer which limits your ability to clean the surface of the water.

Pressure Side - These 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. Fine dirt is stirred up and eventually cleaned by the filter. The good thing about these is that they don't tie up the skimmer so your surface gets cleaned. The drawback is that they are tying up one of your return lines which can interfere with your water circulation. Also, they are not removing the dirt, but they are keeping it stirred up so the filter can get it naturally.

Robotic - These are computer-controlled self-contained pool vacuums that can scrub any size pool and operate independently of your pump and filter system. These robotic systems have an internal microchip that controls their movements. These are the most recommended as they not only reduce the wear and tear on your filter system, they can also lower your chemical costs by as much as 50%!
