How does a hydraulic pool cleaner work?

 

At Outlet Pool we have a wide variety of pool cleaners. Among them, we find hydraulic pool cleaners, with some of the cleaner models.

 

These have many features that make them versatile and effective, positioning them as a very interesting option for any pool.

 

The first thing we need to know is that hydraulic pool cleaners work connected to the pool's filtration system.

 

This is achieved by using a hose that connects the device to a suction point of the pool or skimmer.

 

It is important that the length of the hose is able to cover the entire pool area; otherwise, it will not reach the farthest corners from the connection.

 

Hydraulic pool cleaners, once properly connected, suck in water along with impurities from the pool, sending them to the pump's pre-filter and then to the filter.

 

Since the dirt is deposited in the pool's own filter, it is necessary to clean it properly to remove all accumulated dirt and thus avoid blockages.

Internal operation of a pre-filter

 

For the pool cleaner to move, the drive is provided by the pool pump.

 

Without a pump with adequate power, the pool cleaner will not be able to move and therefore will not clean properly.

 

Each pool has a pump of different power.

 

If the power is higher than what the pool cleaner needs, there will be no problem, but it should never be lower than the one indicated for the model purchased.

 

We should know that cleaning cycles are related to the filtration circuit. Being connected to the pool's filtration system, the pool cleaner will run until the filtration cycle of our filter ends.

 

We can say that hydraulic pool cleaners suck in dirt by themselves, so it is not necessary to guide their movements. This partially frees manual pool cleaning.

 

Considering this, their price is quite attractive and is much lower than that of more sophisticated pool cleaners such as electric ones.

 

We are facing an easy-to-install pool cleaner that does not require any electrical connection.

 

Thus, they have a very long service life, avoiding breakdowns like those that electric pool cleaners may have.

 

Types of hydraulic pool cleaners

 

Not all hydraulic pool cleaners are the same. We can differentiate between several types, although mainly we will talk about suction hydraulic pool cleaners and pressure hydraulic pool cleaners.

 

 

 

Suction pool cleaners

 

These are pool cleaners that are very easy to install, connecting them to the pool's suction port or, failing that, to the skimmer.

In this way, dirt is sucked directly thanks to the pool pump. This means that the pool cleaner does not have a filter and all the dirt will pass to the pool's own filter.

 

 

Floor cleaning

 

Within suction pool cleaners, we can find models that only operate on the floor. These models are not designed to climb walls and only clean the pool floor.

Floor and wall cleaning

 

On the other hand, there are models capable of climbing walls as well as cleaning the floor. Their design and pump power allow them to adhere to walls and clean the possible dirt that accumulates on them. Some models even reach the waterline.

Pressure pool cleaners

 

The other most common option is pressure hydraulic pool cleaners.

They operate by the water pressure from an additional pump.

These pool cleaners move by wheels and have a great cleaning capacity.

Additionally, they include their own filter bag, so the filtration system is less burdened.

Their work is excellent, which is why they are recommended for pools more prone to accumulating dirt.

Which hydraulic pool cleaner do I need?

 

Not all hydraulic pool cleaners are the same. At Outlet Pool we have a wide selection of hydraulic pool cleaners with different features.

 

 

 

By minimum required pump

 

Perhaps the most important difference is the minimum required pump.

 

Remember that these pool cleaners do not operate with their own motor. They work with the pool pump, which must have enough power for the pool cleaner to move.

 

It is true that in our store you can find hydraulic pool cleaner models that work at low power, starting from 3 m3/h (0.1 HP), but these are only recommended for self-supporting and above-ground pools.

 

Other models have an integrated rechargeable battery with longer autonomy times from 45 minutes with flow rates of 3,600 litres/hour.

 

However, if we are looking for a hydraulic pool cleaner that has no power issues and is suitable for any type of pool, it will be necessary to acquire those requiring a minimum pump of 0.5 HP or ¾ HP.

 

Larger pools or those more prone to getting dirty will need models with a higher minimum pump. Therefore, in these cases, it is advisable to look directly among models with a minimum required pump of ¾ HP.

 

 

 

By type of cleaning

 

We can also choose the hydraulic pool cleaner according to the type of cleaning we want. All hydraulic pool cleaners work for the floor. Any model will take care of cleaning this part of the pool. However, if you want more features, you should look at those models suitable for floors and walls. Normally, these pool cleaners require more power, as it will be necessary to propel them on the walls. Something similar happens with hydraulic pool cleaners that clean floors, walls, and the waterline. To clarify, the waterline is the level where the water usually reaches. It is an area where a lot of dirt tends to accumulate, increased by pool cleaning products or sunscreens and lotions. Remember that all these features should always be indicated in the models. Before purchasing one, it is important to pay attention to these details.

By filter type

 

It should be noted that although most hydraulic pool cleaners use the pool's own filter as a filter.

At Outlet Pool we have some models that incorporate other systems such as cartridges or bags.

 

This way, the filtration system is prevented from being overloaded with each cleaning cycle.

Maintenance of hydraulic pool cleaners

 

Except for specific cases, most hydraulic pool cleaners do not have their own filter.

 

This means they will use the pool filter, sending the waste they collect there. Considering this, maintenance of this type of pool cleaner includes cleaning the pump's pre-filter and washing the filter after each cleaning cycle.

 

To avoid constant filter blockage, it is advisable to: install a leaf trap in the pool cleaner's pipe sections that can retain larger impurities.

Check the hydraulic pool cleaner hose

 

It is not only necessary to perform periodic maintenance of the filter.

The hose of these robots must be checked to ensure it is not blocked.

Also, it is important to know that poor storage of these hoses can affect their lifespan and thus affect the pool cleaner's operation.

 

No sun

It will be necessary to rinse them after each cycle with clean water to remove products such as chlorine.

Once rinsed, they should be left to dry in the shade.

Finally, they should be stored in a safe place away from heat and out of direct sunlight.

 

Dry place

 

From time to time, these hoses should be checked for possible deformations, holes, or leaks that could compromise the hydraulic pool cleaner's operation.

Likewise, we must verify that the connections are completely airtight.

Not forgetting the adapters that connect the pool cleaner to the suction port or, failing that, the skimmer.

Suction port connection

 

If the hoses are found to be in poor condition, it is advisable to replace them with an equivalent spare. At Outlet Pool you can find spare parts for your hydraulic pool cleaners.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maintenance of the pool cleaner body

 

First of all, it should be clear that hydraulic pool cleaners are not electric pool cleaners.

Therefore, they do not have electrical or electronic parts that can break down and require specific maintenance.

Still, it is necessary to check it from time to time to verify that there are no stuck residues that could block mechanical parts and thus the suction power.

Gears

These periodic checks will also allow us to see if residues have perforated the membrane (diaphragm) or even observe if there is any worn part with deformations or cracks.

In these cases, the parts must be replaced with new ones for proper pool cleaner operation.

 

After each cleaning cycle, we must wash the robot with clear or slightly soapy water to remove any product residue used to treat the pool water.
