- are powered by the water that is returned to the pool after filtration, or by a separate, dedicated pump
Either it fits onto one of the return jets or it is attached to its own dedicated return socket on the side of the pool
They spread clean filtered water around the pool and, because they have their own debris bag, the dirt/debris does not get into the pump strainer and pool filter which reduces the need to clean the filter and thus saves time and water
Even when the bag is full a pressure cleaner still disturbs dust on the bottom and puts it in suspension in the pool - giving the regular filter a fighting chance of catching it
Advantages of a Pressure-side cleaner with dedicated pump
- Reduces time between backwashes therefore saves water
- Is unaffected by a clogged pool filter
- Improves circulation and overall distribution of filtered water
Disadvantages of a Pressure-side cleaner with dedicated pump
- A separate pump is an extra expense, both to purchase and to operate
- Inefficient at cleaning walls
Advantages of a Pressure-side cleaner with non-dedicated pump
- Reduces time between backwashes therefore saves water
- Some models are a little cheaper than other cleaners, but not much
- Cheaper to install as no separate dedicated pipe-work is required
- Is unaffected by a clogged pool filter
- Improves circulation and overall distribution of filtered water
Disadvantages of a Pressure-side cleaner with dedicated pump
- Not very good at catching small particles
- Not very efficient at scrubbing pool surfaces
