How to choose an underwater vacuum cleaner for the pool? Types of underwater vacuum cleaners for swimming pools
The construction of the pool is a cherished dream of many owners of country houses and summer cottages. However, few people think that having built a pool, having installed the necessary equipment and having considered all the nuances of arrangement, it is unlikely that you will have to wholeheartedly enjoy water procedures or swimming. And the reason for this lies in the fact that initially crystal clear, clear water begins to cloudy due to an incomprehensible mud and suspension appearing on the surface, and a variety of debris not only violates the pristine purity of the water source, but can also damage filter equipment. But there is no need to despair, because rapidly developing technologies will be able to take all the hard work for themselves, and you just need to buy an underwater vacuum cleaner for the pool, the owners of which are not burdened by the frequent change of water in an artificial water source.

Underwater vacuum cleaners. Main advantages
Underwater vacuum cleaners for pools are characterized by a lot of advantages that allow you to:
1. To remove pollution of any nature from the bottom of the pool bowl and its walls;
2. To exclude the need for flushing during sanitary-hygienic measures, as the name indicates that this equipment operates under water;
3. Even a beginner can cope with cleaning the pool, because they are convenient and easy to operate.
However, there is an important nuance that prevents the widespread use of vacuum cleaners for the pool in the domestic market, and this is the high cost of this equipment. But many consumers consider the purchase of an underwater vacuum cleaner to be a worthwhile investment, since using this device significantly simplifies cleaning the pool and extends the life of filtering equipment.
Varieties of underwater vacuum cleaners. Hand constructions
According to the current classification created by professional experts, all underwater vacuum cleaners can be divided into the following types:
1.Manual underwater vacuum cleaners, located in a fairly affordable price range and characterized by ease of use. They will be the most optimal choice for owners of small pools or ponds, the cleaning of which will be greatly simplified using this equipment.
The main structural elements of a manual underwater vacuum cleaner are a telescopic rod made of metal, a corrugated hose, a motor with high power characteristics, a brush and an electric cable. A feature of this device is a direct connection to the pool skimmer or through a specially designed adapter to a vacuum nozzle of an artificial reservoir. Sanitary measures in the pools of various types.
The correct selection of an underwater vacuum cleaner necessitates taking into account all the parameters of the pool bowl and, first of all, its depth, since the depth of the pool and the length of the telescopic handle of the underwater vacuum cleaner are directly correlated.
The use of various modification options for telescopic tubes and corrugated hoses allows you to practice sanitary and hygienic measures using this vacuum cleaner in various types of pools.
A great idea for handymen will be the creation of a home-made underwater vacuum cleaner for hand-held pools, consisting of a brush, a special hose and a rod. For this purpose, a brush is put on one side of the rod, and a hose is attached to the other side, the opposite end of which is connected to the skimmer. After turning on the filter equipment using a brush, the manual method can easily collect all the debris present at the bottom of the pool. Another design option involves the use of a self-priming pump instead of a filter unit.
Semi-automatic vacuum cleaners for pools
2. Semi-automatic vacuum cleaners for the pool are an order of magnitude higher than manual vacuum cleaners, which can be argued by reading their power characteristics and a number of functional parameters. Their design provides for hydraulic traction and the ability to control the speed of the water flow.
A distinctive feature of semi-automatic bottom vacuum cleaners is the presence of a bag for collecting garbage, as well as direct connection to the skimmer without the use of additional and secondary tools, typical for individual models.
The unique design of bottom semi-automatic vacuum cleaners simplifies work in pools characterized by a flat bottom and the presence of troughs.
Another important feature of semi-automatic equipment that increases its efficiency is the presence of a valve that can be easily rinsed. This contributes to the automatic regulation of the water flow, high speed cleaning of the walls and bottom of the water structure, as well as the effective removal of bottom sediment formed during operation of an artificial water source.
The use of a semi-automatic underwater vacuum cleaner for the Intex pool is important for cleaning a variety of water sources, characterized by both collapsible and stationary structures. As mentioned above, the connection of such equipment to a skimmer without the use of additional equipment. In the domestic market there are also models equipped with a kind of collector for garbage collection.
Vacuum cleaning robots - a new step into the future
3. It is impossible not to talk about automatic underwater equipment or a vacuum cleaner-robot for a pool. They are the brainchild of innovative engineering technologies and are designed for stand-alone operation for 8 hours without the presence of a person. The principle of operation of the robot vacuum cleaner is based on computer technologies that allow you to set certain program parameters, which will ensure complete shutdown of the equipment at the end of cleaning. In fact, the robot vacuum cleaner is an autonomous programmable mechanism designed for high-quality water filtration, as well as for cleaning the bottom and walls of the pool from various contaminants and mucus deposits. The operation of the robot vacuum cleaner is carried out using the remote control.
Robotic vacuum cleaners have a lot of advantages, among which the first place is the cleaning of the most inaccessible areas of the pool, as well as pools of intricate shape. Bestway automatic pool vacuum cleaners will even cope with cleaning pools with steps, which are also within their competence. Owners of rather deep pools with a complicated configuration have no reason to worry, because the presence of wires equipped with special floats allows you to use this cleaning equipment at different depths. But the advantages of robotic vacuum cleaners do not end there. In addition to the above points, they are characterized by a lot of advantages, among which:
1. Lack of need for additional installation, as well as connection to the engineering systems of your pool;
2. The presence of automatic settings, making autonomous functioning possible;
3. The possibility of continuous scanning of the qualitative characteristics of water and uninterrupted cleaning of the walls and bottom of the pool;
4. The presence of an additional function, which consists in filtering water;
5. Development corresponding to energy-saving technologies, which allows to significantly reduce energy consumption and save costs on this item.
