Suction Pool Cleaners
Suction pool cleaners are the most popular type of pool cleaner on the market due to price and availability. The term "you get what you pay for" most certainly applies to automatic pool cleaners, however, at The Pool Shoppe, we only carry the best suction cleaners available on the market! Most of our cleaners have been in our line-up for over 20 years and we support our products with a fully stocked parts department for your convenience.
In most cases, suction pool cleaners hook up to your suction line via your pool's skimmer. They install much like your manual pool vacuum using either a suction plate that covers the skimmer basket or directly into the bottom of the skimmer. Some pools are equipped with a dedicated suction line on the pool wall much like a home's central vac system. Suction cleaners work on the same premise as a manual vacuum by drawing debris into the filter, however, what makes the units move around on their own is what makes each type of cleaner much different from another. Suction cleaners are often random and do take anywhere from 4-6 hours to clean 85-90% of the pool depending on the size of the pool. Because they are hooked up to the pool's skimmer, keep in mind that the pool's surface is not being skimmed during cleaning time.

Kreepy Krauly by Pentair
Some say, once you own a Kreepy - you'll always own a Kreepy! 90% of our Kreepy Krauly sales go to those customers who owned the Kreepy generation before this one. They are one of the original units to enter the auto cleaner market and are still going strong. Most cleaners on the market today look much like a Kreepy Krauly with there long body and round pleated seal. However, the Kreepy Krauly will always be the most advanced of the "random" cleaners on the market due to it's complex design. The Kreepy uses a "hammer" mechanism which, when with applied suction, flips back and forth between two drive shafts. This motion of alternating water flow between drive shafts, causes the Kreepy Krauly to move - you always know that your Kreepy is moving by it's signature "clicking" sound that every Kreepy owner recognizes. The benefit of this dual drive tube is that it maintains constant flow of water through the pool pump. Other designs with only one drive tube requiring a diaphragm, temporarily starve the pump for water to enable the cleaner to move. These diaphragms are a very common replacement part as opposed to the Kreepy's hammer which is virtually indestructible!
