Inground Pool Cleaners and Vacuums | Royal Swimming Pools

Inground pool cleaners and vacuums are designed to help maintain water clarity by removing debris from pool floors and walls. These systems support routine maintenance by reducing manual cleaning and helping circulation systems operate more efficiently. Cleaner selection is often based on pool size, shape, and surface material, as well as how frequently the pool is used. Automatic cleaners are commonly paired with inground pool equipment to support balanced system performance. Pools with layouts such as lagoon or kidney designs often benefit from cleaners that navigate curved surfaces effectively. For comprehensive care, cleaners are frequently used alongside pool chemicals to help maintain consistent water quality.

Inground Pool Cleaners & Vacuums FAQ

How do you vacuum an inground pool with a sand filter?

Attach the vacuum head to your telescopic pole and hose, ensuring all connections are secure. Set your sand filter to the ‘filter’ setting for regular cleaning, ensuring debris is caught in the sand bed.

Does vacuuming an inground pool get rid of algae?

Regular vacuuming can help remove algae by extracting spores from the pool’s surfaces before they proliferate, but chemical treatment is also necessary for complete algae control.

Can you leave a robotic inground pool cleaner in the pool overnight?

Yes, most robotic cleaners are designed for safety and efficiency, allowing them to operate unattended and overnight without risk of damage to the pool or the device.

Do you vacuum an inground pool on backwash or waste?

Vacuuming on ‘waste’ bypasses the filter and sends debris directly out of the system, which is ideal for removing large debris or algae blooms without clogging the filter.

How often should you vacuum your inground pool?

Vacuum your pool at least once a week or more frequently if it is exposed to higher debris loads or after severe weather conditions to maintain water clarity and hygiene.

Can you run an inground pool pump while vacuuming?

Yes, the pool pump should be running while vacuuming to circulate water and maximize debris removal through the filtration system.
