Swimming Pool Supplies and Pool Cleaner Accessories

Key Decision 1: In-ground vs. Above Ground

Proper maintenance requires the right set of swimming pool supplies for your particular pool. When choosing your pool cleaner, first consider what type of pool you have. In-ground pools and above grounds pools have fundamental design differences such as water volumes, depth and pool lining materials that determine which type of swimming pool cleaners they require.

In-ground Pool Cleaners - In-ground pool cleaners are specifically designed for submersion in deeper swimming pools and cleaning the wide variety of pool lining materials such as fiberglass, gunite and reinforced vinyl.

Above Ground Pool Cleaners - Above ground pool cleaners are designed to clean shallower pools and thinner, more fragile pool walls lined with vinyl. And, because above ground swimming pools are more exposed to the elements, their pool cleaners need to be able to tackle larger debris and dirt deposits.

Key Decision 2: Pool Size

Often larger and featuring a deep end, in-ground pools typically hold a higher volume of water than above ground pools, which are smaller, shallower and level-bottomed. Using an automatic pool cleaner designed for a larger volume of water can be a waste of money while using one that’s too small can quickly burn out the motor. Choose one that’s appropriate for the size of your swimming pool to help avoid needless expense and replacements.

Important - Some pool cleaners indicate a “Recommended Pool Size” instead of a “Cleaning Coverage”. To convert a recommended pool size into an estimable cleaning coverage, simply square the indicated length of the pool (ex: 24’ squared = 400-800 sq. ft.).

Key Decision 3: Pool Cleaner Type

Pool filters can only do so much but when used as part of a complete set of appropriate pool supplies, the right pool cleaner help extend the life of your pool’s filtration system. From quick spot cleaning to removing deep-set dirt and algae, all swimming pool cleaners are designed to perform a particular level of clean.

Handheld Pool Cleaner - Compact and lightweight, handheld pool cleaners are ideal for spot cleaning and picking up small debris and light coverings of dirt. Unlike automatic pool cleaners, handheld pool cleaners are designed for quick, light work, and many models can be used for both in-ground and above ground pools.

Robotic Pool Cleaner - Robotic pool cleaners are completely self-contained automatic pool cleaners with their own built-in filtration system and battery supply. This type of pool cleaner uses built-in sensors to navigate around your swimming pool as they clean, saving wear and tear on your pool’s existing filtration system.

Suction Side Pool Cleaner - Suction side pool cleaners are highly popular, especially among first-time pool owners, because they’re economical and easy to use. These automatic pool cleaners use a dedicated suction port or attach to your pool skimmer and as they clean your pool, deposit dirt and debris into your pool’s built-in filter system.

Pressure Side Pool Cleaner - Pressure side pool cleaners work with your swimming pool’s built-in filtration system to pick up dirt and debris and distribute clean water throughout the rest of your pool. By utilizing their own debris bag, pressure side pool cleaners a conduct deeper pool cleaning than suction side pool cleaners without comprising your pool’s existing filter or interfering with the pool skimmer.
