Whether as an additional tool in your pool cleaning arsenal or your main line of scum-fighting defense, a swimming pool vacuum head or handheld pool vacuum can do wonders for your above ground or inground pool maintenance. Perfect for cleaning an entire small pool or managing quick touch-ups, a vacuum head is something you won’t want to overlook.
As you make your selection, make sure that it’s compatible with your pool’s surface to avoid potential damage. Consider the power source and make sure you have enough hose to get you anywhere you want to go in your pool.

Depending on your budget and pool size, an automatic cleaner might be excessive. Handheld vacuums offer a more affordable alternative while providing complete control over the cleaning process. They are ideal for small to medium-sized pools, although some individuals may still prefer an automatic cleaner. Both types of vacuums effectively spot-clean the pool and reach challenging areas.
A pool vacuum plays a crucial role in keeping your pool free from scum and debris throughout the season. Whether you choose a handheld vacuum, a manual vacuum head, or an automatic pool cleaner, you'll quickly realize the indispensable nature of your vacuum. Prevent the formation of algae on your pool's floor, walls, and steps by maintaining its cleanliness, benefitting both you and your guests.
When selecting a vacuum, ensure compatibility with your pool's surface and power source. After purchasing a vacuum, start by assembling it and verifying that the hose length is sufficient to cover your entire pool. If the vacuum includes a debris bag, make sure it is empty and securely in place.
If your vacuum relies on the suction power from your pump and filter system, the next step is to secure the hose. Remember to turn OFF the pump while doing so. Once everything is set, you are ready to commence vacuuming. Move the vacuum slowly around the pool to minimize debris disturbance, and go over spots multiple times for thorough cleaning.
