Best Vacuum for Intex Pool

Aquabot is an automatic pool cleaning robot vacuum cleaner, and one of the best above ground pool vacuums. It can cover 5400 sq. ft. per hour, removing everything from algae to larger leaves.

The robot vacuum cleaner features a jet-propelled system that helps clean all the slopes and the floor with ease. The vacuum cleaner takes it less than an hour to cover a 24′ pool.

This Intex vacuum cleaner comes with a 19-quart micro filter bag that’s reusable and easy to clean. It ensures that all that you’ve vacuumed stays within the robot pool cleaner without going back in the water.

Another important thing to note is that this Intex vacuum cleaner is easy to assemble and use. It has a guidance system that allows you to clean the pool regardless of the shape. Also, the vacuum cleaner has extra-wide wheels that help with maneuverability across ripples, vinyl pool floors, and the bottom of your pool.

Specifications

• Filter Capacity: 34 qt
• Power Cable Length: 41 ft
• Weight: 27.6 lbs

This is another Pool Rover vacuum cleaner from Aquabot, but it’s slightly different than the one we reviewed above. The S240 vacuum cleaner is a robotic cleaner meant for all shapes and surfaces measuring up to 40′.

The vacuum cleaner can clean the pool efficiently and quickly, removing dirt, debris, and contaminants. It can also clean the cove and partial wall, but it requires at least 6” floor to wall radius.

This vacuum cleaner has a filter that filters 80 to 85 gallons per minute, cleaning up everything in its way. It picks up leaves, small debris, algae, and pretty much everything else that you don’t want at the bottom of the pool.

Now, Pool Rover Hybrid vacuum cleaner had a very critical issue with power cable continually tangling. This is something the S240 vacuum cleaner doesn’t struggle with thanks to the EZ swivel cable measuring some 40′.

Specifications

• Filter Capacity: 80 to 85 GAL per minute
• Weight: 22 lbs
• Cable Length: 40 ft

This vacuum cleaner is a bit different than the first two we reviewed, but it’s a bit more automatic and adjustable. It requires a pool pump with a 1,600 to 3,500 ghp flow.

The vacuum cleaner is meant for Intex above-ground pools with 1-1/2” hose fittings as it attaches to the inlet connector in the pool with a 24’7” hose.

Keep in mind though that this vacuum cleaner isn’t meant for in-ground use as it’s made to work specifically as ground vacuum cleaner. One thing you should be careful with is how you set up the vacuum cleaner. Remove all the air pockets from the cleaner hose for maximum performance.

The vacuum cleaner comes with a user manual to help you if it’s your first time using this pool cleaner. This Intex vacuum is made of durable materials and can cover pools that are 24′ and smaller.

Specifications

• Filter Pump Flow: 1,600 – 3,500gph
• Weight: 15.3 lbs
• Hose Length: 24’7″

This Intex Deluxe Maintenance Kit is a manual vacuum cleaner meant for above ground pools. It requires an Intex pump that has a flow of at least 800 ghp.

Because it’s a manual kit, it’s meant for quick cleanups and small maintenance jobs. Although it’s efficient and reliable, the vacuum cleaner cannot perform as an automatic pool cleaner.

It sucks the debris from the floor, passing them through the filter so that the water it ejects is clean and safe to return to the pool. All you have to do is attach the vacuum cleaner to the outlet connector of your pool using the 24’7” hose included.

This vacuum cleaner for Intex above ground pool comes with a few attachments such as the 110” telescoping aluminum shaft, two vacuum heads, the body, mesh skimmer net, and a wall brush.

Specifications

• Filter Pump Flow: 800 ghp
• Weight: 5.9 lbs
• Hose Length: 24’7″

This pool vacuum cleaner is among the best vacuum choices if you’re looking for a quick and easy-to-use Intex vacuum. It effectively cleans all the above-ground pools, but it isn’t recommended for those with soft sides.

This pool vacuum for Intex features a one-moving-part technology, which means fewer chances of the vacuum breaking. Plus, such design eliminates flapper and hammer noises as you work.

The deflector wheel helps prevent the vacuum from getting caught on ladders, steps, and corners. The entire thing comes pre-assembled so that you can use it immediately as it arrives.

On top of that, the Zodiac Ranger Intex vacuum features Insta-Skim Compact and Flowkeeper flow control valves.

Specifications

• Depth Reach: up to 72 in
• Weight: 15 lbs

This strong and sturdy vacuum is suitable for all the above-ground pools up to 18′ diameter. It has built-in rechargeable batteries that provide ongoing suction power.

The vacuum comes with two interchangeable brush heads, a 94” telescoping aluminum shaft, USB cable, and a shaft adapter. It’s just enough accessories to get the job done without being too overwhelmed by many extra parts.

Another thing worth noting is the automatic shut off feature. It activates when the vacuum isn’t submerged in water, serving to save battery life when not in use. The switch is IPX8 waterproof for some added protection.

With that said, this vacuum has to be submerged in order to work. Keep in mind that it’s only meant for metal frame pools, so we don’t suggest you try it on any inflatable models.

Specifications

• Depth Reach: 18 ft
• Weight: 4.7 lbs
• Aluminium Shaft Length: 94 in

Aquabug 500 is a bit different from the Wanda 900 we reviewed above. It’s an older model, so it’s not as powerful. However, it’s ideal for smaller tools that don’t usually get very dirty.

It features a unique turbine/gearing system that ensures the same well-balanced water flow. This ensures that your vacuum doesn’t make too much noise disturbing the neighborhood.

In most cases, it glides effortlessly across different pool floors such as vinyl, fiberglass, concrete, and fiberglass. On top of that, it’s really simple to set up and remove as well as to keep clean.

The contoured head makes steering rather easy, allowing the vacuum to complete the task in less time. Plus, its bumper ring ensures that it doesn’t damage the walls of your pool in case it bumps into them.

Specifications

• Warranty: 1-Year
• Weight: 15.9 lbs
• Dimensions: 40.3 x 12.9 x 12.7 in

This might appear like a very unusual machine, but it’s actually among the best ground pool vacuum cleaners. It’s an automatic vacuum meant for pumps from 1,600 to 3,500 ghp.

This is a newly designed Intex auto pool cleaner that works as a hassle-free solution for most pools. It’s proven efficient, cleaning all areas of your pool regardless of its size.

However, it only fits Intex pools with 1.5′ hose fitting. You should also pay attention to the outlet connector in the pool because the vacuum attaches with a 24.6′ hose.

It’s made of durable polypropylene plastic that doesn’t get damaged by chemical products. You can remove and clean the included skimmer basket for easier maintenance. It keeps the flow rate constant so that it doesn’t make too much noise as it cleans the floor.

Specifications

• Compatibility: for filter pumps from 1,600 to 3,500 GPH
• Weight: 22.6 lbs
• Hose Length: 24.6 ft

Dolphin Escape is one of the most advanced robotic pool cleaners. It sports a sleek design that’s attractive and eye-catching so you won’t mind showing it.

One of the most convenient things about its design is the fact that it doesn’t use any bags. It features an oversized cartridge for all the debris that it picks up from your pool floor.

Another thing worth noting is that this one doesn’t have any wheels. It uses hypergrip tracks to travel across the floor surface with improved traction. This also reduces the chances of possible scratching.

On top of that, it comes with a hyperbrush scrubbing brush, which helps scrub away some more stubborn contaminants. It’s among the best tools to get rid of sticky messes. The vacuum operates via the SmartNav 2.0 Robotic Scanning.
