Not all the dirt or leaves that fall into a pool will be removed by the filter system and a variety of brushes and cleaners are available to help with maintenance.

All our new pools are provided with:

A pool broom for brushing the floor of the pool. This can be used to move any dirt on the floor towards the sump so that it is then removed from the water by the filter.
A scrubbing brush for helping to dislodge any algae that may have become attached to the walls or floor.
A leaf skimmer or leaf rake for removing any leaves that are floating on the surface of the water or which have sunk to the floor of the pool.
A vacuum cleaner to keep the pool floor clean. The vacuum head is connected by a flexible floating hose either to the skimmer or to a special vacuum point in the pool wall.

Automatic cleaners are also now available. These do essentially the same job as a vacuum cleaner but without the manual input! The most popular model on sale is the "Baracuda". It operates in a similar manner to a vacuum cleaner, the only difference being that the "Baracuda" moves around the pool in a random pattern.
