There are a great variety of pool cleaners available on the market today. these can be subdivided into several categories.

1 The robotic pool cleaner This type of cleaner has a power chord and is lowered into the pool. these units scrub, sweep, and vacuum dirt and debris vacuums and fi lters dirt and debris into a self-contained filter bag. the use of this type of unit spares the filtration system to some extent. this type of pool cleaner is fairly costly and tends more to be used in large or commercial pools

2 The suction side automatic pool floor cleaner This type of pool cleaner plugs into the vacuum plate over the leaf basket just behind the static skimmer There are many different variety's available. the main drawback with this type of cleaner is it cuts of surface skimming nearly altogether which is not good from disease control point of view.they tend to get stuck in corners if they are not rounded enough. However many pool owners are satisfied with their performance.

3 pressure side pool floor cleaners these use return pressure to run the mechanism that moves them around the pool and use a venturi system to pick up leaves from the pool floor and blow them into a net that is attached to the top of them. the advantage with this cleaner is that it does not interfere with the skimming of the pool especially if it has its own pump. the units that run on the filter returns tend to slow the systems water turnover down. They are very limited in the amount of litter they pick up and they blow finer materials straight back into the pool.

4 The Dragonfly floating pool skimmer. This type of pool cleaner is a recent addition to the pool cleaner arsenal, it is a skimmer that floats at the top of the water and attracts the vast majority of floating material on an average size pool from where it is taken directly to filtration via a leaf basket or in situations of excessive floating litter an inline leaf canister. this unit can be run simultaneously with a bottom cleaner where a splitter is fitted to direct water from 2 directions. disadvantages are that it does not work well during heavy rain as this tends to water log floating materials and sinks them too quickly. ad vantages are that they significantly reduce the bio-material suspended in the water leading to clearer water and more free chlorine.
