What is a Pool Vacuum?
A pool vacuum is a device that connects to a pole and hose and is intended to clean debris that falls the bottom of the pool. The two types of vacuums for pools are manual and automatic. The pool vacuum is an essential tool for pool maintenance and cleaning. Most traditional pool vacuum models work by being attached to a long metal pole. Often, the pole can telescope to make vacuuming at the deep end or shallow end a little more convenient. The pole usually connects to the pool vacuum head via a pivoting handle. The other thing connected to the vacuum head is a pool hose, which also goes to a coupling just off the pool, perhaps in the skimmer, where the debris will be deposited. An automatic pool vacuum works by freely roaming along the bottom of the pool every so often. The cleaner may use the pool’s own circulation and suction mechanisms in order to move along the bottom, or it may be controlled by a computer chip. Any cleaner using a computer chip is called a robotic pool vacuum. Wh
