Swimming Pool Manual Vacuums and Their Uses

Guest Blogger — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 19:23:05 +0000

In addition to your automatic pool cleaner why would one need to consider one of the many swimming pool manual vacuums available also? Well, all of us vacuuming is a chore, so the faster we can get it done the better, right? That’s the story I’m stick to at least.. LOL

Once a week, i run my automatic cleaner for about 3 hours. It does a great job of cleaning the bottom and sides of the pool. It just runs around in a random pattern and picks up all the debris. What it doesn’t pick pu is the dirt and debris that is on the sun shelf, the top steps, and the cut-out indentations that enable your swimmers to sit at the edge of the pool. So this is where swimming pool manual vacuums can pick up the pace and help.

There are a few types of swimming pool manual vacuums available and they are,

Pool vacuums that you hook up to your pool filter,

These types use a telescopic pole that hooks to a vacuum head. From the head, you connect a hose that runs to the inlet side of your pool skimmer. This hand held version uses your pool filter to suck up dirt and debris. It is very effective for larger areas of your pool, where your automatic cleaner cant get, but what do you do if you have a small area and/or a spa that needs to be cleaned out?

Low and behold, you can use a portable pool cleaner,

These types of swimming pool manual vacuums are completely self-contained and run on their own battery power. They are small, similar to a dust-buster that you would use in your kitchen and home, and some models have rechargeable batteries. I have this kind in addition to my automatic pool cleaner, because it is so portable and handy to use. I keep mine plugged in all the time so when i need a quick clean in the spa, I can run it through quickly.

These are your two basic choices when regards to swimming pool manual vacuums. Purchase one today and make quick clean ups a snap.
