The cheapest type of Automatic Pool Cleaners are the 'Suction Devices'. These entry level pool cleaners are a great way to help assist you in cleaning your pool. These units are plugged into the skimmer box and subsequently are powered using your current circulation swimming pool pump.

Acting seemingly with a mind of its own, in a random pattern the suction cleaner stays in close contact with the surface of the pool lining. Debris is carried through a flexible hose into the pool circulation system with large items being collected by the skimmer basket or pump strainer basket and the finer particles trapped by your swimming pool filter.

As these are controlled by your swimming pool filtration process the suction type devices are automatically started when your filter and pump is in operation.
