    Abstract: A swimming pool circulation and cleaning system includes a first zone with a plurality of stationary wall inlet nozzles and a second zone with a plurality of pop-up nozzles. The stationary wall inlet nozzles are strategically located in the walls of the swimming pool. Each stationary wall inlet nozzle comprises several tangential openings for directing the forced water flows downwardly towards the pool floor. The pop-up nozzles are strategically located in the pool floor to work in conjunction with the stationary wall inlet nozzles to continue the water flow from the stationary wall inlet nozzles in a direction towards the main pool drain. The pop-up nozzles may be non-rotating or rotating only about 90 degrees. A water recirculation system can be operated to re-circulate and deliver the swimming pool water either sequentially or simultaneously to the stationary wall inlet nozzles and the floor pop-up nozzles.
