Pressure & Suction Pool Cleaners in Townsville

Suction cleaners attach to the pool’s skimmer or dedicated suction line and rely on the pump to create suction that collects debris. Pressure cleaners, on the other hand, use water pressure from a return line or booster pump to propel themselves and capture debris in a bag. Both are effective but have different strengths—suction cleaners are cost-effective and simple, while pressure cleaners handle larger debris and work well in leafier environments.

While these cleaners handle a large portion of debris, they don’t completely eliminate the need for manual care. Brushing walls, emptying baskets and balancing chemicals are still necessary. However, they reduce the workload significantly by automating daily cleaning tasks. Many pool owners find they only need occasional manual touch-ups when using these systems.

Most cleaners should be checked at least once per year, though heavier use may require more frequent attention. Hoses, bags, and moving parts like wheels or diaphragms can wear over time. Regular inspections help identify problems early and keep the cleaner working at peak performance. A properly serviced cleaner will last longer and provide consistent results.
