How hydraulic suction pool cleaners work
Hydraulic suction pool cleaners are devices that connect to the pool filtration system and use the power of the water to move and clean. Their design and operation allow for efficient pool cleaning without the need for constant supervision.
- Connection to the filtration system: They connect to the pool's suction inlet or to the skimmer, using the power of the filtration pump to move. Water is sucked through the pool cleaner, taking dirt with it, which is filtered and returned clean to the pool.
- Mobility and coverage: Most models move randomly, covering the entire surface of the pool. Some advanced models have mechanisms to ensure that hard-to-reach areas are also cleaned.
