Automated pool cleaner
Encyclopedia : A : AU : AUT : Automated pool cleaner
An automated pool cleaner is a robotic vacuum cleaner intended to collect debris and sediment from swimming pools. They use a random motion pattern to ensure that the entire floor surface is eventually covered.
There are three main types of cleaners, classified by the drive mechanism used:
- pressure-side driven — water outflow being returned to the pool is used for locomotion and debris suction, via the venturi effect.
- suction-side driven — water being pumped out of the pool via its skimmer or drains is used for locomotion and debris suction.
- electronic or robotic — an external electrical power cord is used to drive motors used for locomotion and suction.
