Vacuum cleaner for the pool - how to choose

Pool cleaning is a whole range of activities providing for many procedures using chemicals and special equipment. Underwater vacuum cleaners are very popular, which are devices for the care of the walls and the bottom of the pool. The vacuum cleaner through special nozzles sucks water with contaminants from the surface of the bowl, filters it and the already cleaned returns to the pool.

Despite the high cost of underwater vacuum cleaners, the benefits of their use are obvious:

Lack of need to drain water from the pool;
Efficiency and elementality of the operation of the device;
High efficiency of application compared to manual processing;
Allows you to extend the life of the filter installation.

Underwater vacuum cleaners on the principle of operation and in terms of cost indicators are represented by three categories: manual, semi-automatic and automatic. When choosing a submarine vacuum cleaner, take into account the following pool parameters and devices:

length, depth of the pool, water volume - these characteristics determine the length of the rod, hose and cable, as well as the working cycle (temporary);
the presence of a skimmer in the pool, which is necessarily necessary for the operation of a manual vacuum cleaner, in exceptional cases - for semi-automatic and automatic;
the view and shape of the pool determines the type of nozzles;
the presence of a remote console in a robot vacuum cleaner.

The cheapest underwater vacuum cleaners are manual, as they have a simple configuration, include cable, pump, handle, brush at the end of the corrugated pipe, which connects to the filtration station installed in the pool. The use of manual vacuum cleaners is limited by small basins, and power - 16 cubic meters per hour.

In the average price category are semi-automatic underwater vacuum cleaners. Among the main characteristics that determine the advantages and disadvantages are allocated:

The ability to clean not only the bottom of the pool, but walls and depressions.
Some have a garbage collection bag, while others require connecting to a skimmer.
The main advantage is the saving of a person who carries out the pool, because Work occurs offline up to 3 hours.
Suitable for operation in pools up to 80 m² depending on the length of the cord.
Automatic water flow control, high purification speed and efficient bottom sediment removal due to hydraulic traction.

Thanks to a special improved configuration, the use of the latest computer technologies, automatic underwater vacuum cleaners are the most powerful, maneuverable and efficient. However, their cost is several times higher than the prices of manual and semi-automatic, which is the only disadvantage of this category. The advantages and distinctive features of autonomous vacuum cleaners for cleaning pools are as follows:

Maintaining different types of pools having a large area.
The ability to connect directly to the filter station or the use of bags intended for collecting pollution.
Cleans the entire basin bowl, including hard-to-reach areas, and waterline.
They have high power and battery life up to 8 hours in the pool with an area of \u200b\u200bup to 1300 m².
Ability to program work using the control panel.
Automatic scanning of water characteristics, its filtering.
The best variant of the material from which the brush is manufactured is polystyrene foam, because It has high strength.
The operation of the automatic vacuum cleaner in different planes is ensured by the presence of a fan that provides movement on vertical and inclined sections of the bowl.
