The best suction pool cleaner depends on pool size and surface. These three picks cover large in-ground, concrete, and above-ground pools.
A pool leaf canister catches leaves before they reach the pump basket. It is most useful for suction-side cleaners and manual hoses under trees.
A pool vacuum plate must match your skimmer model, rim diameter, and hose adapter. Check those details before buying so the vacuum keeps its suction.
A weighted pool vacuum head should match your hose and pole first. Triangle heads reach corners, while wider curved heads make quicker passes on open floors.
Match hose diameter to the vacuum head and skimmer cuff, then buy enough length to reach the deep end without stretching a kinked coil.
