# Jet cleaner for swimming pools and spas

## Abstract

A self-propelled pool cleaner, also known as a jet cleaner, includes systems and methods for controlling a direction of movement of the pool cleaner based on a direction of rotation of an impeller and thus direction in which a jet of water is exiting the pool cleaner. The pool cleaner includes an impeller, which both draws water through a filter onboard the pool cleaner and directs water out of the pool cleaner as a water jet to propel the pool cleaner.
