Abstract: A self-contained debris cleaner for use in cleaning debris from submerged surfaces, such as the bottom of a swimming pool, includes a bottom section having a brush mounted thereon to engage the surface being cleaned, a neck section, and a pump housed in a pump housing section. The pump draws fluid into the bottom section, through the neck section, and forces this fluid into a debris collection bag via a conduit. The bag is foraminous and is removably mounted on a cage that is removably mounted on the conduit. The cage includes a multiplicity of holes, and fluid, with debris contained therein, flows into the cage, with fluid flowing out of the bag, and debris remaining in the cage.
