Swimming pool cleaning devices (hereinafter pool cleaners) are used for maintaining residential and commercial swimming pools in a clean and attractive condition. Pool cleaners have been developed for cleaning and/or dislodging settled debris from the floor and side wall surfaces of the swimming pool, thereby substantially reducing the need for manual vacuuming and/or brushing of the floor and side wall surfaces of the swimming pool.
Some swimming pool cleaning devices may be powered by a floating power supply which floats on a water surface of the swimming pool. A power cable may be used to connect the swimming pool cleaning device to the floating power supply. The floating power supply is generally coupled to a main power supply source located external of the swimming pool. A main power cable may be used to couple the floating power supply to the main power supply source.
Unfortunately, the main power cable is generally laid across the deck of the swimming pool. Not only is this unsightly, but it poses a hazard to those around the swimming pool. The main power cord may pose a tripping hazard to those walking around the swimming pool. Further, since the main power cord generally has to be long enough to not limit where the swimming pool cleaning device can be used in the swimming pool, those around the swimming pool may get tangled within the main power cord thereby posing not only a tripping hazard but a potential choking hazard.
Therefore, it would be desirable to provide a system and method that overcomes the above.
