Automatic pool cleaners are broken into three categories, namely suction side cleaners such as the Kreepy Krauly E-Z Vac, pressure side cleaners and robots.
Suction Side Cleaners:
These suction side cleaners attaches to the suction side of your plumbing. The suction side refers to the pipes and fittings that bring water out of the pool, to be filtered. The water is sucked out of the pool by the filter pump.
Pressure Side Cleaners:
These cleaners are those that attach to the pressure side, or return side, of your circulation system. The water that is being pumped or pushed back to the pool, powers these units which have their own hydraulic power plant inside. Being on the pressure side, these units have distinct advantages. They are helpful in distributing clean, filtered water around the pool and having their own debris bag means that they don't compromise the filter system.
Robot Cleaners:
This is the most expensive type. They are self contained electric cleaners which are put into the pool when there is a need for cleaning. Common brand names include Kreepy Krauly, Aquabot, Dolphin, and AquaVac. The advantages to owning a robot cleaner include their self contained filter, which is easily cleaned. They also provide great cleaning coverage for your pool. Some units are computer chip controlled, and some even have remote controls.
