Abstract: A pool cleaner having two tilted pumps pointing in opposite directions, which propel the pool cleaner. In an embodiment, the pumps are turned on alternatively to alternate the direction of travel of the pool cleaner. In an embodiment, each pump has a discharge opening facing upwards at an angle, covered by an adjustable flap. The flap can be adjusted to open to different degrees to change the speed of the pool cleaner. The flap is attached to a ring that rotates and thereby rotates the angle of the orientation of the flap. Adjusting the angle of orientation of the flap of the pool cleaner changes the extent to which the pool cleaner moves sideways while moving forwards or the extent to which the pool cleaner turns.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a submersible pool cleaning vehicle (PCV) having both cleaning and scrubbing structures. The PCV includes spaced wheels and wheel covers over the wheels include scrubbing elements. The PCV also includes a cleaning brush which dislodges particulates and facilitates the particulates being sucked into the intakes and then a filtering member. In one exemplary embodiment, the PCV includes wheel covers that have embedded scrubbing elements. In another exemplary embodiment, the scrubbing elements extend from the wheel covers and have a plurality of circular members.
