Telescoping Pole
This is the ol' manual style pool cleaning system. The telescoping pole is set at the end of brushes, handheld vacuums or skimmers to reach the deeper ends of the pool. As mentioned before, the cleaning process is manual scrubbing which gets of the algae and grime. While this method is time consuming and labor intense, it is also cheap and a great upper body work out. If you are looking for a good pool cleaning technique AND a fit summer body, telescoping poles are for you!
Suction Pool Cleaners
As the name suggests, these types of cleaners work using the principle of suction. They're usually installed on the sides and they connect to the main filtration system. They suck out the debris and grime and guide them towards the drain. Running this type of cleaner maybe hefty because they use electricity and your bills may increase. If you don't mind spending a few extra bucks to have a pristine, clean pool, then suction pool cleaners are for you!
Pressure Pool Cleaners
These are almost independent identities because they come with their own filtration bag and uses the pump's power to operate. This type of pool cleaner doesn't pressurize the pools circulation or filtrations systems at all.
Robotic Pool Cleaners
These are considered to be the most energy efficient types of pool cleaners. They have their own power source and are also independent of the pool's circulation system. Robotic pool cleaners usually have a built in filter and motor, which allows them to clean up small particles form any pool surface. These pool cleaners are particularly good for above ground pools with a skimmer basket.
In-Floor Cleaning Systems
This type of pool cleaners are generally a good idea for people who are considering getting a new pool because it is easier to install before the pool has been built. This type of pool cleaner uses water currents to "wash" grime and dirt off the floor and the walls of the pool.
