Powerful Cleaning Performance with Pressure Side Pool Cleaners

When it comes to reliable, heavy-duty cleaning, few options perform as well as pressure side pool cleaners. Using the water pressure from your return jets or booster pump, these cleaners deliver powerful debris removal while reducing strain on your filtration system.

At Benchmark Pool Supply, we carry top-rated pressure side cleaners from trusted brands like Polaris® and Pentair®. Known for their durability and efficiency, these cleaners are the go-to choice for pool owners who need consistent performance and strong suction for leaves, twigs, and stubborn debris.

Why Choose a Pressure Side Cleaner?

• Handles Heavy Debris – Perfect for pools near trees, landscaping, or windy areas.

• Reliable Power – Booster pump-driven models provide consistent performance.

• Reduced Filter Load – Collects debris in its own bag instead of clogging your pool’s filter.

• Durable Construction – Built to withstand daily use and tough conditions.

• Proven Track Record – Polaris pressure side cleaners have been industry leaders for decades.

How Pressure Side Pool Cleaners Work

Unlike suction cleaners that rely on your skimmer line, pressure cleaners attach to a return line. The water pressure propels the cleaner around the pool while sweeping, scrubbing, and vacuuming debris into a dedicated bag. This design keeps dirt and leaves out of your filter, extending its life and reducing maintenance.
