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 disposed within a tank spaced from the pool. In one embodiment, the tank communicates with the pool through an under-the-deck tunnel. In another, the tunnel extends from the tank and over the deck of the pool, for discharge into the pool. The hose reel is connected to a rotatable water wheel having vertically-oriented blades disposed around its circumference. To move the hose from the storage position into the pool, a stream of water from a blow out jet nozzle flushes the hose 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, 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.
