ABSTRACT:
A device for moving the hose of an automatic pool cleaner in and out of a swimming pool using water power. The device includes a rotatable hose reel in communication with a pool. The hose reel is connected to a rotatable water wheel having vertically-oriented blades disposed around its circumference. During storage, the hose of the pool cleaner is wrapped around the hose reel. To move the hose from the storage position into the pool, a stream of water from a blow out jet nozzle tangentially swipes the coiled hose and is directed at a cleaner head attached to the hose. The water flushes the cleaner head into the pool and rotates the hose reel in a first direction, causing the hose to unwind and travel into the pool. To move the hose from the pool back into the storage position, the cleaner is first turned off then pressurized water is directed horizontally at the vertically-oriented blades of the water wheel, causing the water wheel and hose reel to rotate in a second direction to withdraw the hose from the pool and rewind the hose onto the hose reel.
