To keep the pond clean. Clean the water from microorganisms and make it crystal clear, but only your own hands or a vacuum cleaner will help you get rid of debris, sand at the bottom and slippery deposits on the walls!For example, if you have a small pool, you can do DIY vacuum cleaner. Instructions here.
All units for this purpose are not cheap. That's why A DIY pool vacuum cleaner is a good way out. In addition, the design of the simplest manual vacuum cleaner consists of a brush, a tube for draining water and a handle.
For a homemade vacuum cleaner you will need:
ADVICE!Do not skimp on the length of the corrugated tube. The diameter of the pool should exceed its length by no more than 50 cm. A soot pipe will create inconvenience and significantly complicate the cleaning process.
ADVICE!Sand or file all edges of the cut pipe. It is important that sharp corners do not damage the coating of the pool bowl. When gluing and soldering, use only high-quality, water-resistant materials.
With such simple details DIY pool vacuum cleaner is ready. A homemade vacuum cleaner is an excellent budget option for a small pool.
Cleaning the walls and bottom with a homemade vacuum cleaner is necessary several times a week. Moreover, it carefully passes all areas of the walls and bottom of the pool, otherwise the water will quickly bloom and will be unsuitable for swimming. A homemade vacuum cleaner can handle this task quite well. In addition, a handheld vacuum cleaner is very convenient for cleaning hard-to-reach places and pool walls. Some models of robotic vacuum cleaners do not have this function. And this is definitely a big plus for the little helper. For a good result, the main requirement will be sufficient.
In hot weather, after dacha work, it can be nice to plunge into a cool pool. There are large and small pools, but they all have in common the need to periodically clean the water from dirt, plaque on the walls, insects, and dry leaves. And if you can simply drain the water from a small children's inflatable pool, wash it and pour in a new one, then to completely change the water in a large frame one will require too much time, effort, and the water consumption will be significant. Therefore, large pools are usually cleaned, and a special vacuum cleaner that you can make yourself will help with this.
Dirt in any country pool (inflatable, frame or stationary) not only spoils its appearance, it develops harmful bacteria and fungi. Therefore, cleaning the pool at your summer cottage is a mandatory measure. To ensure that the water in it is always suitable for swimming, two purification methods are used:
Let's look at the second method in more detail. To remove everything unnecessary from the pool, you can use a net or brush. However, most likely, the net will not catch the debris completely, and with a brush you can only collect dirt from the side, otherwise it will fall into the water.
Using a net you can only catch large debris from the surface of the water.This is why pool vacuum cleaners are popular nowadays. They are sold in hardware stores and are intended for cleaning the bottom, walls and surface of the water. Using these devices is easy. They work in this way: they suck in dirty water, pass it through special filters and pour the purified liquid back into the pool.
There are three types of pool vacuum cleaners:
A manual pool vacuum cleaner has a hose, a handle and a brush attachment that are attached to a filter. A semi-automatic pool vacuum cleaner has a membrane that helps it stick to the bottom. An automatic pool vacuum cleaner does the cleaning job on its own.
Each type has its own advantages, but they all cost money, and if you pay about three thousand rubles for a manual one, then a robot will cost a significant amount. If you have the desire and time, you can make a vacuum cleaner for the pool yourself.
There are many types of homemade vacuum cleaners.
If leaves, grass, insects and dirt accumulate at the bottom of the pool, a design with a bag for collecting large debris is suitable. First you need to prepare all the materials. They are sold at any plumbing store.
For a water vacuum cleaner you will need:
The plumbing outlet can be taken with an angle of 90 or 45 degrees 
A plastic adapter, cut at an angle, will make a brush for collecting dirt from the bottom of the pool Plumbing thread ensures the tightness of the connections A filter pump is sometimes sold complete with the pool This cartridge is enough for one cleaning A corrugated pipe, which is installed under a bathtub or sink, is suitable for making a water vacuum cleaner
Having purchased everything we need, we get to work. Procedure:
For better tightness, you can wrap all parts with plumbing thread.
The advantage of this vacuum cleaner is the low cost of components and the ability to remove both large debris and dirt and dust. However, since the device does not have a handle as such, you will have to hold it directly by the thick pipe. This vacuum cleaner is convenient for cleaning the walls of a low (up to 75 cm) pool or a small inflatable bowl. A large frame pool cannot be cleaned.
If you close the pool with a lid immediately after swimming, large debris will not get into it, so you can get by with a simpler design of a vacuum cleaner that only collects dirt from the walls and bottom.
For this design you will need:
Procedure:
The homemade vacuum cleaner is ready, turn on the pump and carefully vacuum the bottom of the pool. After cleaning, you need to replace the filter and wash the pump.
The advantages of the design include ease of manufacture and a minimum of components, as well as the ability to clean frame and even stationary pools. The disadvantages are the inability to collect leaves, grass and insects.
To clean the bowl as efficiently as possible, it is better to proceed in this order:
Typically, cleaning an average-sized pool takes no more than an hour.
Even when using a vacuum cleaner, the work of cleaning the pool takes energy and time, which is usually too little for relaxation: after all, we often come to the dacha only for the weekend. Simple measures will help your pool stay clean longer:
A swimming pool at the dacha is not only a pleasure, but also a concern. Keeping the structure clean will be easier if you use a water vacuum cleaner. You don’t have to buy the device; you can make a pool vacuum cleaner with your own hands using simple components.
Ecology of consumption. Estate: A vacuum cleaner for a swimming pool is an excellent invention for cleaning its surfaces. A DIY pool vacuum cleaner is a simple invention that is even fun to work with.
A pool vacuum cleaner is an excellent invention for cleaning pool surfaces. Regardless of the quality of the installed inlet filter, plaque forms on the walls of the pool and on its bottom. In addition, dirt often gets into the pool in the form of leaves and dust, which, when deposited, creates an unpleasant layer on the surface. Such stains can be removed in many ways, but one of the best is a pool vacuum cleaner. Making it with your own hands is quite simple, and today DachaDecor.ru will help you decide on this task.
Pool cleaning methods
There are many ways to keep your pool clean. One of them is constant replacement of water and filling the pool through special filters. In this case, the water will not have time to stagnate and pathogenic organisms will not be able to quickly develop in it. However, this method is very expensive, because the water will have to be changed at least 1-2 times a week... and there can be a lot of it.
Depending on the size of the pool, even if even a small frame is installed at the dacha, the amount of water can reach tens of cubic meters. Even an average pool with dimensions of 4x2 m and a depth of 1.2-1.5 m is already more than 10 cubic meters of water. Just calculate how huge the expense will be. But that is not all. Of course, with water from a pool that has been in it for only a few days, you can wash your car, irrigate trees, rinse even the façade of a house, or water all the beds in your garden. But how much water will it take? A cube or two? Where should the rest of the water go? Pour it down the drain?
It’s good if so, but often there is no central sewage system in the country. Then the water is drained into the nearest ditch, but this is fraught with many problems - from the development of harmful microorganisms there to the creation of a small swamp with frogs and snakes.
In general, this is not an option, unless you have a pool at your dacha that only holds a cube or two of water, for example, an inflatable pool for children. Then, in principle, the question of cleaning it disappears. But we are talking about medium-sized pools, and therefore we need to look for the right method.
As you can see, cleaning a pool that is filled with water is no longer as simple a task as it was previously thought when purchasing a pool. Here it is necessary to use complex methods, one of which will be a vacuum cleaner for the pool.
This equipment, without going into too much technical specifications, is a pump for distillation and purification of water with several filters. From the main pump unit there is a long hose with a handle and a brush, through which dirt and plaque are collected. By wiping the bottom and walls of the pool with a brush, bristles or the rubber base of the brush, you remove dirt from the surface, which, along with the water, goes into the hose and reaches the pump, where it is cleaned by passing through a filter or several filters. Depending on the power and general purpose of the pool vacuum cleaner, the filters inside it can even be changed several times during one pool cleaning, it all depends on the severity of the contamination.
A pool vacuum helps with removing sediment as well as buildup that builds up along the waterline.
Most often, these are gray and yellow spots, or even a film that needs to be rubbed well so that it comes away from the walls and the bottom of the pool.
If you work with a pool vacuum cleaner correctly and systematically, it can serve you for quite a long time. In addition, each individual pool cleaning will take much less time.
You can buy such equipment without any problems. Today, vacuum cleaners for swimming pools are available from companies offering swimming pools and complete equipment for them, as well as from many wholesalers, online stores, and even in standard retail. But the price tag may vary significantly.
At first glance, you can pay several thousand rubles for a miniature vacuum cleaner, but will it do the job? On the other hand, is it worth purchasing powerful equipment and reproaching yourself for such serious waste for a long time? Probably, it is necessary to determine some alternative method with the help of which it will be possible to find a solution to the issue for minimal money.
If we continue the conversation about the prices of vacuum cleaners for swimming pools, they can reach hundreds of thousands of rubles. For example, robotic vacuum cleaners for swimming pools that independently move along the bottom of the bowl and clean its surface. The same powerful vacuum cleaners from recognized pool manufacturers, recommended, but terribly expensive. Well, and other options, which often cost more than they should.
We decided to continue the theme, starting from small pools for summer cottages. Let it be inflatable or frame pools, because most often these are the ones we have installed. Today we will skip capital and composite pools, since we are absolutely sure that when purchasing a pool for a million or two, no one will bother with a device for cleaning it. The complex system will be purchased on the first day of purchasing the pool.
Let's continue about small plastic plunge pools, inflatable and frame pools. They need to be washed and cleaned, because pool water heated in the sun is an excellent environment for many disease-causing pathogens. Therefore, we get rid of them in several effective ways:
Yes, it will take time, but there is no way around it, especially if you want the procedures to be pleasant and not negatively affect your health.
So that you don’t have to purchase expensive equipment, we will give you advice on how to make it yourself for pennies. You will only need to spend money on high-quality filters for the pump, as well as chemicals for pools.
We decided to bypass several models where the base is created independently. We don't need to think about the design of the pump, because we already have it. But we have thought through the cleaning system to the end.
It's really simple and we'll only need to combine the pump we already have with a few extra parts.
The brush is that part of the overall surface cleaning mechanism that will remove plaque from the walls of the pool. It can be used for daily cleaning if necessary, or for tougher dirt if you clean much less frequently.
The brush can be made with your own hands from different materials, or simply purchased at the store. This is far from the most expensive piece of equipment, and therefore everyone can afford the purchase.
If you want to make a brush yourself, there are several options:
When creating a brush, you need to make all edges without sharp corners so as not to scratch or tear the surface of the pool. You also need to work only with high-quality glue and soldering for polypropylene pipes, so that with minimal force under water the brush does not fall apart. Please also note that the slot in the water intake pipe is offset, depending on the angle of the brush to the walls or bottom of the pool, and the rubber band or bristles that we installed on the brush for scraping off dirt should not get into the slot and interfere suck up dirt.
Now we need the homemade water vacuum cleaner to work. To do this, it must be airtight, first of all.
We take a simple transparent corrugated hose, which in plumbing work is installed on siphons under sinks, and fix it to the place where water is taken from the pool. Usually it is already there, since through it the pump draws water from the distillation bowl.
Our hose can be connected quite simply, and there are several ways to do this. The first is to use a sewer adapter, choosing it exactly in size so that the elastic fits tightly to the water intake and also tightly grips the hose. And, secondly, use an ordinary plunger, in which you need to make a hole exactly in the middle, where you can install another piece of plastic pipe. Next, the plunger can be put on the water intake, and the vacuum cleaner will be ready to go!
Please note that it is much more convenient to work with rubber sewer adapters or other plumbing parts, since due to the large assortment it will be much easier for you to make the right choice in size.
Another essential part is the handle for the vacuum cleaner. This could again be the same polypropylene pipe 1.5-2 meters long, which will be installed on the brush. With its help, you can set the entire cleaning mechanism in motion.

When our equipment is ready, we install it and check its functionality after turning on the pump. If everything is normal and the water is sucked in, passes through the filter and is discharged back into the pool, we begin cleaning it.
It would be much more correct to start by cleaning the walls. It is advisable to immediately wash those parts that are above water, which can be done with a regular brush. Next, walk along the waterline and vertical walls in the water. And only after finishing cleaning the walls, you can move on to removing dirt from the bottom.
You will only need about an hour of time for an average pool to get it in order. Now the water will be clean and safe, naturally, subject to the integrated approach that we talked about earlier.
By spending just half a day purchasing everything you need, drawing up a drawing and the assembly itself, you will save a lot of money, and you will be able to clean your pool at any time. But if you have other thoughts about our homemade equipment, we'd love to hear them. Write to us in the comments to the article... we will be very grateful!
Cleaning a swimming pool is a mandatory hygienic procedure, without regular and timely implementation of which the reservoir will simply become unusable.
The interval between cleanings directly depends on how often it is used, the size, and location of the pool (outdoor, indoor).
For example, one located outdoors should be cleaned at least once every three days, since leaves and other large particles of debris get into it.
Even the most modern water filtration systems are not able to absorb such sediment and prevent the accumulation of sediment in the pool.
If cleaning the water itself in the pool is not a problem, then cleaning the sides and bottom of silt will require a lot of effort. One way is to completely empty the pool and clean it by hand.
However, such a procedure will take a lot of time and effort, in addition, it is not advisable from an economic point of view, especially if it is necessary to drain water from a large reservoir. 
Another option is cleaning with submersible sump pumps, which come in manual, semi-automatic and automatic types.
A submersible pool vacuum cleaner equipped with an automatic cleaning system is the best option available on the market today. It does not require control, effectively cleaning the pool area along a trajectory specified by the program using special brushes.
The disadvantage of such vacuum cleaners is their rather high cost, therefore, as a rule, they are used only in public swimming pools.
Today, the most common and economical option are vacuum cleaners for manual use. Such devices are a structure of a rod with a brush and are divided into two types.
The first type requires connection to the pool filtration unit using a hose, while the second type is autonomous, equipped with a garbage bag and a pump.
The operating principle of both types of vacuum cleaners is simple - after starting the pump, dirt is cleaned from the bottom and sides, which is instantly sucked in and deposited on the filter. The only disadvantage of this type of cleaning is the need to clean the filter frequently.
In addition, it is important to remember to promptly change the vacuum cleaner bag if the design requires its presence. Regular Interskol PU 32 1200 bags will be an excellent solution in this case.
Despite this, this unit is an excellent solution for small water containers; in addition, this hand-held vacuum cleaner can clean inflatable and frame film pools.
Among other things, you can make such a vacuum cleaner for the pool with your own hands, which does not require any special skills.
Making your own water vacuum cleaner takes little time and is within the power of anyone. All the materials you need to create it can be easily found at any plumbing supply store.
Having visited ours, you can see that there are a lot of different options for creating homemade vacuum cleaners for the pool, but they are all united by the same design principle.
To create a vacuum cleaner you will need:
The diameter of the pipe, hose and sealing rubber are determined depending on the diameter of the filtered water supply hose. You should also not skimp on the length of the corrugated hose; it should be only half a meter less than the diameter of the pool itself, otherwise it will not be possible to clean the entire area of the reservoir. .jpg)
It is necessary to disconnect the skimmer - water intake - from the inlet valve of the pump-filter. Next, you should attach the purchased corrugation using a sealant.
The free end is connected to a polypropylene pipe, also with a rubber seal. An intake nozzle is placed on the end of the resulting system.
It should be noted that in attachments such as a plunger and a fitting, it is necessary to make several slits along the diameter of the neck, which will prevent the vacuum cleaner from being sucked to the bottom.
It is much more convenient to use a brush, since variations in existing sizes and shapes allow for high-quality cleaning in hard-to-reach places. This is especially required for water tanks that have built-in LED pool lighting, which requires more thorough yet gentle cleaning.
If the pump has a paper filter installed, it is better to remove it before using such a homemade vacuum cleaner, since it is not capable of retaining the smallest particles of sediment from the bottom of the pool.
This way the unit will work “directly”, and the pumped-out sediment can moisten the landscape.
Using the same principle, you can clean by connecting a vacuum cleaner to a portable pump.
The disadvantage of this “direct” cleaning is the need to further replenish the pool with water to the previous level. For example, a water container with a diameter of 5 meters, on average, will need to be filled to 15 cm.
