Automatic Pool Vacuum Reviews



Above ground pool or in-ground pool.
If it is an above ground pool, go for the Hayward BUG.
In-ground pool cleaners, I would have to say Hayward or Kreepy .
The fewer working parts the better.
All of these robots can get stuck, in some pools.

Pool vacuum empties on the ground



Do you have a vacuum? Usually that does the trick. I’m not sure what kind of filter you have but if it has a backwash system then you should do that. I’m not sure what you are talking about.

I’ve never heard of vacuum out extra chemicals onto the ground. IF you don’t have an automactic vacuumn then you have one that will backwash into your filter and shoots out of the filter.

Good luck!

Plugging a pool vacuum cleaner



It plugs into the skimmer.
Roll your vacuum hose straight along the length of the pool. Attach one of the cuffed ends onto your vacuum head which is attached to your telescopic pole. Extend the pole and place the head (with the hose attached) into the water so that it rests on the floor of the pool. Point the head across the pool so that it doesn’t roll down the slope towards the deep end and prop the pole up against the pool’s edge.

From the point where the hose surfaces, begin pushing the hose straight down into the water, hand over hand, until you reach the other end. This is filling the hose up with water so there is no air in it which may cause difficulties for the pump when you attach the hose to the skimmer. Another method of “priming the hose” is to hold the cuffed end firmly over a return fitting to force the air out of the end attached to the vacuum head.

Once the hose is primed, remove the skimmer lid and the basket and stick the hose end into the hole at the bottom of the skimmer. If it sucks it in tightly, great. If not, you may need a threaded hose adapter to achieve a tight fit. Now turn your pool filter pump on. The suction that was at the hole at the bottom of your skimmer is now at the vacuum head. Do not lift the head out of the water with the hose attached, or you will fill the hose with air, losing prime, and possibly drawing air into the pump. Read the rest of this entry »

Cloudy pool water


I have a intex vinyl- metal framed pool. Ever since about three weeks ago the water has been very cloudy. I have tried clarifier twice and shocking it numerous times. Every time no one is in the pool all off the fine particles settle to the bottom of the pool and the water is mostly clear. But as soon as we get in it gets cloudy again! I have vacuumed it many times and again it just stirs all the dirt into the water and it becomes cloudy. It has a Type A filter cartridge. Tried cleaning it numerous times and also replacing it but no luck any ideas?
I have tested it, and everything is fine but the total hardness….. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it though
