Automatic pool cleaners for inground pools come in several types, each with distinct features suited for various pool environments and cleaning needs:

1. Robotic Pool Cleaners: These are self-contained units with their own motors and filtration systems. They are known for energy efficiency, ease of use, and comprehensive cleaning, including scrubbing walls and waterlines. Some advanced models can even be controlled via smartphone apps.

2. Suction-Side Pool Cleaners: These connect to your pool’s skimmer or dedicated suction line and rely on the pool’s filtration system to move around and pick up debris. They are generally more affordable but can add some strain to the pool's pump.

3. Pressure-Side Pool Cleaners: These attach to the return line of your pool’s pump and use water pressure to move around and collect debris in an onboard bag. They can handle larger debris and don’t clog the pool filter but may require a booster pump.

4. Solar-Powered Pool Cleaners: Eco-friendly and powered by sunlight, they use solar energy to collect debris from the pool's surface.
