U.S. Pool Supply Suction Pool Cleaner for Inground Pools — 33 ft Hose, Quiet Diaphragm

The U.S. Pool Supply Octopus is a durable, quiet suction-side automatic pool vacuum that scrubs floors and climbs walls to remove leaves, sand, and debris with a long-life diaphragm and included replacement.

Designed for residential in-ground pools (and many above-ground or self-supporting pools), this Octopus cleaner combines strong suction, a noise-reducing diaphragm membrane, and a smart deflector wheel so it cleans thoroughly without frequent jams. It comes ready to run with 33 feet of spiral-wound hose made from twenty 20" sections, plugs into a standard skimmer or dedicated suction port, and requires only a 1/2 HP pump or 1,000 gallons/hour minimum flow.

How does the Octopus suction cleaner reduce noise compared with other suction vacuums?

The Octopus uses a diaphragm membrane instead of a flapper, which eliminates the repetitive hammering sound common to older suction cleaners. That flexible diaphragm delivers consistent pulsing suction quietly and with fewer mechanical strikes, so runs are more pleasant for poolside use.

• Long-life diaphragm included plus a replacement diaphragm in the box.
• Quiet pulsing action minimizes flapper-style hammer noise.
• Solid, sealed design that keeps sound and vibration low during operation.

Will it clean the entire pool, including walls and steps?

Yes — the Octopus is engineered to move across floors, climb walls, and travel around steps while maintaining strong suction to pick up common debris. Its profile and deflector wheel reduce the chance of getting stuck on ladders, corners, or ledges, so it completes full-coverage cleaning cycles more reliably.

• Powerful suction clears sand, leaves, pebbles, and fine particles.
• Deflector wheel prevents snagging on steps, corners, and ladders.
• Balanced weight and geometry enable wall-climbing capability.

What plumbing and pump requirements are needed to operate it?

The Octopus runs from standard suction—either a skimmer or dedicated suction port—and needs a minimum pump flow of about 1,000 gallons per hour or a 1/2 horsepower pump to function effectively. Installation is tool-free and straightforward: assemble the hose sections, attach the cleaner to the hose, and prime connections for a snug, leak-resistant fit.

• Minimum flow: 1,000 gal/hour (3.8 m³/hour) or 1/2 HP pump.
• Includes 33 feet of spiral-wound hose made from twenty 20" sections.
• Tool-free assembly and easy-to-fit hose connections (dip ends in water to ease coupling).

How durable and maintainable is the cleaner over time?

Built from rugged components designed for regular backyard use, the Octopus features a long-life diaphragm and heavy-duty housing created to resist wear. Routine maintenance is simple: inspect the diaphragm and deflector wheel periodically, replace the included spare diaphragm when worn, and rinse hoses to avoid stiffness from pool chemicals.

• Replacement diaphragm included in the package for quick upkeep.
• Spiral-wound hose becomes more flexible with use and is easy to store.
• Simple parts and accessible design make common maintenance quick and inexpensive.

Who is this for: The U.S. Pool Supply Octopus Suction Pool Cleaner is ideal for homeowners with in-ground pools who want powerful cleaning without loud flapper noise, and for owners of compatible above-ground or self-supporting pools seeking a tool-free, cost-effective automatic vacuum. It’s also a good choice for anyone who prefers a durable, easy-to-maintain cleaner that climbs walls, navigates steps, and reduces the need for repeated manual vacuuming.
