SUCTION SIDE POOL CLEANERS
The suction side pool cleaners are the next topic of discussion as we delve further into the buyer's guide. A suction side pool cleaner relies on the suction produced by your pool pump, as opposed to robotic pool cleaners, which are totally independent of your pool plumbing. These cleaners are connected to the pool skimmer or special suction line. Keep your skimmer basket, pump basket, and pool filter clean and clear of extra debris since your pool equipment filters the debris using this kind of automatic cleaning. These cleaners are the most affordable and need less upkeep over time, which makes them a popular option for many pool owners.

Using twin cyclonic technology, the MX8 Elite actively combats debris regardless of the surface. This low-flow, energy-efficient suction cleaner outperforms other high-end mechanical suction cleaners with its complete, comprehensive clean thanks to its wide cleaning path and convertible vacuum inlet, which allows for larger debris to pass through.

PRESSURE SIDE POOL CLEANERS
Last but not least, we've come to the segment of our buyers guide with pressure side pool cleaners. Compared to a suction side cleaner, this type of automatic pool cleaner puts less stress on your pool filter. However, in order to function, pressure side cleaners still rely on the pressure produced by your pool pump. In order to propel trash into the onboard filter bag or canister, they attach to the pressure side of the pool's return line. They can also aid in more dispersing heat more effectively from your pool heater because they draw from the return line. A specific booster pump can be needed if the pressure from your pump is insufficient. Because many models are built with a large capacity debris canister, these cleaners are great for pools surrounded by leafy trees.
