Pool Cleaning Vacuum
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 »

Pump and Filter Vacuum

I assume you mean the pump and filter because the vacuum ( for bottom,sides)runs off of the pumps electricity not its own. If you don’t run your pump all the time you will pay the difference in electricity saved by having to buy more chemicals and time spent maintaining your pool. Make sure to have chlorine tablets floating in your pool at all times and the pump running and you will save a ton of money and time on your pool
Using vacuum pool cleaner on a color green pool
My pool turns green every summer around June and July. First year my landlord said it was the kids peeing in the pool not the fact that the pool guy skipped weeks and didn’t skim the leaves or vacuum every time he came. This year he said it was the dog that I didn’t have last year.
Not the fact that the filter was clogged by the leaves that fell from the neighbors tree before summer. Or that the landlord then broke the filter trying to clean it himself and it was down for two weeks. Had to special order parts. And the pool guy didn’t shock the pool at the first sign of algae. He just kept putting the same amount of chlorine in for two weeks and didn’t think to leave me a note about the dog then or call the landlord.
He just left the pool green after each visit. So here I am 2 months later with no pool and the landlord blames my dog. Am I crazy or does my landlord and the pool guy not know a thing about pools? Do dogs cause that much damage if the pool guy is putting in the right amount of chemicals? Help ! I need to prove my landlord wrong. Read the rest of this entry »
