Heres an easier way to get the air out of the hose. Once you connect to vacuum head and put it in the pool, hold the other end on the return so it pumps the water thru the hose. It will push all the air out for you.

@@HappyFarmsLa no problem. We all get used to a habit and I started doing it the way you do until I saw a video on here. You also should look into installing a Hayward skimmer next season before you fill pool up again. Makes vacuuming 100x easier. Buy skimmer socks to put in basket and it catches everything as you vacuum

@@slamdhatch1150 hey. So I’m Sven and I tried this way too. It does work and it blows air out but when you have much fine particles on the bottom then the water from the return may blow all the sand and things you wanna vacuum up in the water so I rather stick to the other way so my debris and everything what’s on the bottom stays there.
