Thanks so much for making this video. I was searching online for how to vacuum my above ground intex pool without a skimmer and couldn't find anything. This was spot on what I was looking for.
@destinymalloy66303 жыл бұрын
We purchased a skimmer basket for our metal frame pool off of Amazon last year. It helps so much with the debris, and also catches the little gnats and ants that like to sink to the bottom of your pool. It hooks up/replaces debris guard. If you purchase one definitely get the pool skimmer socks that go with it. Great video!

Great video. Very helpful. I was also told at my local pool service store that when vacuuming I should have the filter dial turned to the "waist" setting??? This way the debris from the bottom of your pool will not be put directly into your filter. It will travel through the waist hose and out onto the ground. Of course this removes water from your pool and you may need to add some water back after vacuuming. I am a newbie so if anyone would like to chime in on this topic it would be appreciated. Thanks!
@madisonemeigh92892 жыл бұрын
It is better for your pool to use waste when vacuuming so it doesn’t go through your sand. It would make the sand last longer pretty much

Hi there. I have a Bestway 12’ (39” deep) round pool installed and converted to a Intex 26643EG Sand Filter, 10". It says it’s a .25hp motor. And I also added a Hayward skimmer. I’d like to install a vacuum for it. The local pool company is not sure the motor is strong enough to install a manual vacuum using the skimmer. Can you help me out? Don’t want to spend the money on the hose/head/pole if it won’t work. And also avoid a $300 manual one if it will work.
@ChronicBongitis4202 жыл бұрын
0:48 Who ever told you it was unconventional is wrong. I have an above ground pool and when I got it in the box with the pump was a vacuum a hose and a hose to pump adapter. It was one of the kind that could either be hooked to the pump or hooked to a garden hose and filter into a bag. I replaced it with a $40 nice one because the cheap one kept floating up off the bottom of the pool (no spring/weight).
@mikaboo2521 Жыл бұрын
Mine came with it too. It was a cheap piece of junk. The bag would fall off and debris right back into the pool. Terrible! Especially after working for 20 minutes or more in the heat 😅

This might be a silly question but how to keep the pump from shooting the algae back into the pool? So I left my pool half full over the winter and I’ve installed an infection sand filter pump and upgraded the hoses to 1 1/2 inch but while vacuuming for the first time today I noticed the murky algae water was shooting back through the jet nozzle. Im so new at this but is there something I’m missing?
@JuanGarcia-gi6me3 жыл бұрын
It’ll have to filter for a while with sanitizer before it comes clear. The filter doesn’t just allow green in and out clear. Good luck.
@tavtelmedia3 жыл бұрын
@@JuanGarcia-gi6me as crazy as this sounds, I put a magic eraser in the intake basket and in the skimmer. it's not instant but it will cut your time in half. Not a problem for the pool or humans at this point at all. You will have to change it regularly and your filter as well if it's not a sand filter. OR There is also a product called GREEN TO BLUE. You can get at Walmart. OR Shock it. When it all drops to the bottom, vacuum it but run out out of the pool. Rinse and repeat if necessary. Fill up the rest of your pool with clean water and add a chlorine tab to the filter basket or somewhere in the line along with a few boxes of backing soda. Run your filter 24/7 for a few days. Should be good to go in a few days.
