Manual pool cleaners are tools designed to help maintain the cleanliness of swimming pools. They typically consist of a long pole attached to a cleaning head that can be maneuvered by hand. Users can easily guide the cleaner along the pool floor and walls to remove debris, dirt, and algae. These cleaners often use a combination of brushes and nets to capture particles, making them effective for small to medium-sized pools. Unlike automatic cleaners, manual pool cleaners require physical effort and regular attention, but they can be more affordable and allow for precise cleaning in hard-to-reach areas.
