Manual pool vacuum cleaners

The Fairlocks manual floor cleaner for swimming pools is an absolute hit. This is due to its outstanding price/quality ratio and incredible durability.

The width of this Fairlocks pool cleaner is an absolute plus on account of this making the cleaning time much shorter than with other pool cleaners. In addition, this floor cleaner rolls easily across the floor, ensuring quicker cleaning.

You can also use this Fairlocks for the corners because the front can be turned through an angle of 90 degrees.

The cleaning performance of the Super Vac manual pool cleaner is excellent and the additional weights ensure that the vacuum stays firmly on the bottom instead of starting to float.

With its triangular shape, this cleaner is also handy in the corners.

The only drawback of this pool cleaner is the limited surface area it covers. This means it takes a long time to clean the entire swimming pool.

The 8-wheel pool floor cleaner is a simpler model compared with the previous models. Nevertheless, it delivers good results thanks to the brushes on the side and base.

Because of the wheels it is easier to clean with this bottom vacuum, so less time is required.

The low price makes this appliance very attractive, but the materials used are undeniably less durable. You will have to replace this device sooner (3 - 5 years).

This triangular manual bottom cleaner from the Mega Pool brand is also very attractive with regard to price, but also loses out in terms of durability. This device likewise has a maximum working life of 5 years.

Triangular swimming pool cleaners are ideal for cleaning the corners. However, they cling more firmly to the floor. This makes them harder to move and it is more difficult to get the pool clean.

This pool cleaner is the cheapest in our range. It is a sturdy cleaner that is good at removing the dirt from the corners of your pool.

The low price can be explained by two things. This floor cleaner has fewer brushes fitted than other appliances. In addition, the materials are of lower quality, meaning they don’t last for so long - around 3 years when used on a weekly basis.

The small nozzle means you’ll have to spend some time getting your pool clean. 

You can clean your pool in no time by following the steps below:

1. First and foremost, you must attach the manual vacuum cleaner to the telescopic handle. Use the simple click system to do this.
2. Then slide the floating vacuum cleaner hose onto the suction point of the vacuum cleaner.
3. Place the vacuum cleaner in the corner of the swimming pool and lower the vacuum cleaner together with the hose to the bottom of the pool.
4. Then raise the vacuum cleaner hose firmly to the water line. Push the hose down below the water line vertically metre by metre until you reach the end of the hose. This will vent the vacuum cleaner hose. If you don’t do this, the swimming pool pump will be damaged.
5. After venting the vacuum cleaner hose, you can connect the hose to the vacuum cleaner connector or the skimmer.

For proper vacuuming, the entire suction power must go to the vacuum cleaner connection point. It may be necessary to close certain pipes temporarily. These include the skimmers and the floor suction units. You can close these pipes using the ball valves on the filter installation.

N.B.:

• Make sure that the pipe to which the floor cleaner is connected remains open.
• Turn the ball valves slowly to prevent damage to the pipes. If you turn them too quickly, the pipe can contract due the suction force being generated.
• If the floor cleaner sucks too hard on the bottom of the pool, you can turn the floor cleaner pipe back halfway to reduce the suction force.
