Many pool owners are not aware of the fact that automatic pool cleaners accomplish swimming pool cleaning tasks most efficiently and also save a lot of time.

Here’s a thing or two about Automatic Suction-Side Cleaners:

Automatic Suction-Side Cleaners

Suction side cleaner moves and vacuums debris off the floor of the pool with suction.  They also act as a moving main drain which was mentioned before.  What this does is turns more water over a shorter duration of time, because as the cleaner is under the water the suction is bringing water through the filtration system.

As it moves around the pool the suction side cleaner is agitating and scrubbing the walls reducing the amount of time needed to brush your pool.  This leaves more time for you to enjoy it.  A suction side cleaner is capable of getting smaller particles than a pressure side cleaner because it vacuums right into your filter.  If your pool is positioned in an area that large debris hardly ever gets into your pool this would be a very good choice.  Also since there are no additional pumps, hoses or plumbing it is usually less expensive to install.

A few of the disadvantages of a suction side cleaner are.  Since they vacuum debris straight to the pump basket and filter, it can be a real problem if your pool is in the vicinity of a lot of trees.  The best solution for this would be to purchase a leaf trap to capture the larger debris prior to it reaching your pump basket.  The filter can also affect the cleaner.  Since the cleaner is dependent on the suction of the main pump to operate. As the filter becomes filled, the performance of the cleaner is reduced significantly, so it is imperative to keep the filter clean.
