A pool system works by continuously circulating water to keep it clean, clear, and safe. Water is drawn from the pool through the skimmer box and main drain, which collect surface debris and deeper water. This water is then pulled into the pump, which is the main driving force of the system.
From the pump, the water is pushed through the filter where dirt, debris, and fine particles are removed. Once filtered, the clean water passes through the heat pump (if installed), where it is warmed to the desired temperature.
After heating, the water flows through the chlorinator cell, which sanitises the water by producing chlorine to kill bacteria and algae. Finally, the clean, heated, and sanitised water is returned back into the pool through the return jets, creating circulation throughout the entire pool.
An in-floor cleaning system works by circulating water through a series of pop-up jets built into the pool floor to automatically clean and move debris. Water is drawn from the pool through the suction ports and then pulled into the pump, which powers the entire system.
From the pump, the water is pushed through a centrifugal filter, where dirt and debris are separated out before reaching the cleaning system. Once filtered, the water flows into the in-floor module (also known as a valve), which is designed to spin internally and switch between different cleaning zones.
As the module rotates, it directs water to different sections of the pool one at a time. This process activates groups of in-floor jets in sequence, pushing debris across the pool floor toward the main drain or collection points.
The water is then returned back into the pool through these in-floor jets, creating a powerful, rotating cleaning action. This continuous cycle helps keep the pool floor clean, improves circulation, and reduces the need for manual vacuuming.
