The pool in the house or on a personal plot is a luxury that not everyone can afford. But if you decide to invest in such a corner for relaxation, you need to take care of it correctly. How to choose a vacuum cleaner for the pool is the topic of our article today.

The principle of operation and the device of vacuum cleaners for the pool

At all vacuum cleaners for cleaning the pool, the principle of operation is approximately the same.

It is as follows:

  • water intake from the bowl;
  • passing it through filters;
  • dumping already purified water back to the pool.

In addition, the vacuum cleaner collects dirt, sand, small twigs and leaves that may be at the bottom of the pool.

To consider in detail the principle of operation of vacuum cleaners for the pool, you need to know their type:

  1. Handheld device. The vacuum cleaner hose is attached to the cleaning brush, which is lowered to the bottom of the bowl. And the second end of the hoses is inserted into a special hole in the skimmer (filter for water purification), which is located in each frame pool. This is where all the rubbish from the pool will fall. Next, connect the filter device, and cleaning begins. It is very important that you can turn on such a handheld vacuum cleaner only when it is completely immersed in water. Otherwise, the device may burn out.
  2. Semi-automatic. The vacuum cleaner is lowered into the water, the hose is connected to the skimmer. Such a device itself performs chaotic movements and cleans the bottom of the pool from contamination, while additional water filtration occurs.
  3. Auto. Perhaps the most convenient model. It is not necessary to connect the device to the pool systems. You only need to immerse the vacuum cleaner in water and turn it on.
  4. The robot vacuum cleaner for the pool.The device operates in two modes: from the remote control and independently. The remote control is good if the shape of the pool is unusual, does not meet classical standards. In this case, you pre-lay the route and the vacuum cleaner adheres to it with accuracy. The disadvantage of such a product is its high cost.

If there is a pool in the house or in the summer cottage, then a special cleaning vacuum cleaner is needed for it. Without it, to cope with dirt and plaque at the bottom of the bowl will not work. There is an option to completely drain the water and wash the bowl manually, but this method is very expensive.

How to choose a model for underwater cleaning

To choose the underwater vacuum cleaner correctly, you need to know what parameters to pay attention to:

  1. Power. Everything will depend on the thicket of the pool. If it is small, inflatable, for example, of the Intex model, then the device will be enough, with continuous operation no more than 2 hours. A full frame pool needs a vacuum cleaner with maximum power (continuous operation for 5 hours).
  2. The mechanism of the device (automatic, semi-automatic, manual). The last option is the cheapest. At the same time, in order to clean the bowl, you will have to lower yourself into the pool and personally control the process. While with an automatic and semi-automatic, such problems do not arise. These devices save a lot of time.
  3. Compatible with skimmer system. If the vacuum cleaner does not have the necessary connectors, then there will be no additional filtration and full purification of water.
  4. Cord length. Measure the size of the bowl. The cord length of the device must be at least 1.5 times longer. If the length is less, you will have to use an extension cord, but for safety reasons, this is prohibited.

Another important detail is the cost of filters. Immediately tune in to the fact that the filters will have to be changed quite often. Ask your consultant if such filters are available and what their price is.

Cleaning rules

For a water vacuum cleaner to last a long time, you need to know the operating rules:

  1. If the appliance hose is attached to the skimmer, this must be done reliably. If the hose disconnects during the process, work will have to be started again.
  2. The vacuum cleaner is completely sealed, so the appliance must be turned on when it is completely immersed in water.
  3. If the vacuum cleaner is manual, then you need to move with it smoothly. To clean the entire area of ​​the pool, it is better to move in the horizontal direction, focusing on the clear boundaries of the tile.
  4. Before starting cleaning from the bottom of the pool, you must remove all large elements of debris (toys, pebbles, pebbles, etc.) If they get into the device, they will simply disable the vacuum cleaner.

Do not forget about the safety rules. When operating the device, swimming in the pool is undesirable.
