Abstract: A spot cleaning vacuum head for a swimming pool cleaning system having a vacuum source and a vacuum hose. The spot cleaning head has a body having a free end, a releasable connector, a first tubular section including an outlet port and a second tubular section having free end in the form of an inlet port. The outlet port is in fluid communication with the inlet port and is arranged to be releasably coupled to the free end of the vacuum hose. The releasable connector is arranged to be releasably secured to an end portion of an elongated pole to position the spot cleaning head adjacent material, e.g., leaves, mud, algae, stones, etc., desired to be removed from the pool so that when the vacuum source is operated suction at the inlet port to pulls that material directly into the inlet port without creating a cloud of debris.

Abstract: A spot cleaning device for a swimming pool cleaning system having a vacuum source and a vacuum hose having an end portion forming a vacuum inlet. The spot cleaning device is arranged to be coupled to vacuum hose and to a pole. The spot cleaning device includes a releasable connector for releasably mounting it on the pole. In one embodiment the device includes a hollow body to which the vacuum hose is coupled and which includes an inlet port which communicates with the inlet port of the vacuum hose. In another embodiment the device makes use of the vacuum hose's inlet port directly. When either device is coupled to the vacuum hose and mounted on the pole the inlet port can be positioned adjacent material, e.g., leaves, mud, algae, stones, etc., desired to be removed from the pool so that when the vacuum source is operated suction at the inlet port pulls that material directly into the inlet port without creating a cloud of debris.

The device includes a releasable connector for releasably mounting it on the pole and has a hollow body to which the vacuum hose is coupled and an inlet port which communicates with the inlet port of the vacuum hose. A vacuum relief port is provided in the hollow body adjacent the inlet port. The device is arranged to be positioned adjacent material, e.g., leaves, mud, algae, stones, etc., to be removed from the pool so that when the vacuum source is operated suction at the inlet port pulls that material directly into the inlet port without creating a cloud of debris, and with the vacuum relief port preventing the device from becoming hung up or stuck to a surface of the pool.
