I'm practically in tears with relief that you shared this with us! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to attach the vacuum hose to my sand filter and now I know! Thank you So much Bradford Tube! I'll let you know how this turns out.

I did this and it worked great. I wasn't getting good suction when I would connect it to the inlet hole. This way I had massive suction. Thanks so much.

Awesome glad you actually have sand filter isn’t it so much better!!! The pumps that come with it are junk!! Thanks for videos super helpful for many people!!

Perfect! Thank you!

Hey Bradford fam I'm a new sub and u guys are doing great I was just watching your daughter talking to penny wise vid and I was dang the girl is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 so keep the work up and I'll see ur other vids byyeeee

Nice Job my man!

Don't know if you have two B ports but I tried almost the same thing and had to cap the other B port to get good suction. Good hack.

Thank you so much! This was super helpful, I was being told to do it a completely different way

Ok I liked and subscribe lol

cool dude

Great job.. needing time get this ash from the Oregon fires out of my pool.. 😳😬

Hi there do you mean back wash when using the pool vac?

My pumps powerd cord is 6 ft long Can i use longer hoses for the pump?

Wouldn't the 1.25" vacuum line hook up to one of the two suction ports in the pool wall? You can put the plug in one suction port to increase flow rate in the one that is connected to the vacuum attachment.

Do you know what that piece you bought at lowes is called?

Can you connect the hose with that hose adapter that has Orings?

Tried this and would not get any suction. I don’t know why. I used all the exact parts you did and connected directly to the pump. Ended up just removing the parts to the outlet and having someone just hold the Hose to the outlet while I vacuumed. For some reason that did work and it had great suction. Idk

They make an adapter you can screw directly on to your pump and attach the hose.

Corny heheh, helpfull thanks.

helpful my man - trying to figure out how I can vacuum my pool with those tiny outlets these coleman pools have.

i tried this methods with my pool. but i have another not related question. how did u put in the jet valve and did u cut the liner to install it

How many Hp is your pump? How many gallons in your pool?

You think we could partner up in a vid somehow?

I tried to do something like this, I couldn't get it to work, 😭 I'm not sure where I went wrong.

whaat part did you use

Hi

My waste mode doesn’t work, my whole pump is fucked, it’s always broken

My thing works fine for a minute and then it stops working! I damn well HATE this sand pump and pool! It’s connected to the pump, it won’t keep constant suction, it like pulses water through the pump!, and doesn’t suck correctly! I’m so sick of this pump, I’m tired of my filter never working, I just want to cry

In leu of wasting water, all you have to do is to lockup both the intake and the exhaust portions of the water system, this causes the water to not flow either direction when you disconnect the lines. Think of it like sucking fluid in to a straw, holding your tongue against the straw and removing the straw from the drink, you will observe the fluid staying in the straw and not spilling.
