INTEX pool vacuum review. I just bought a new Intex automatic pool cleaner for my 18’ above ground intex pool. I show you how easy it is to set up and how well it cleans the pool, with a before and after and how to clean the filter.

I love this cleaner. Saves me so much time. However be really careful with the screen, mine tore in 2 places within the first few uses and Intex never has the debris net in stock. Havent been able to find a replacement.

Thanks, I've bought this exact one 3 years ago, my husband thought it was to much hassle putting the hoses together,actually it was confusing.. so we put it back in the box. I still have it. My water tech vaccum battery powered used to work great for sand, but it's not doing the job like it did, so after watching your video, im tempted to get mine out of storage and hook it up, I have a 12'x 24' 52' deep intex pool, under trees, so I need alittle help. Thanks for your video

The 1st time i used it it was great the 2nd 3rd and 4th time this joint acting funny on us 😮‍💨. Had me going back to old methods.. hopefully i figure out what went wrong... Great video.

I bought this unit for my Coleman/Bestway 22 foot pool and it did work with my pool/pump, however it would stop about every 30 seconds. I would have to take it out and clean the filter because it would get clogged and the unit would stop. I cleaned the filter then it would run again. I like the vacuum, but if I kept it I really don't want to clean it every 5 minutes.

We bought this last year and it was a game-changer! It made the pool SO much cleaner. This year however it seems to just sit on the pool floor and not travel. I know there was a leak in the hose- I could see it. I bought a new hose-and the same thing. I think it is too long. I am going to try and cut it and see if that helps. Any other ideas? I am using the same pump/filter, the pool is 2 ft bigger but still only 18 ft. It doesn't have a "motor" so I don't know what else could be wrong.

Basically this works by water pushing not sucking. The force of the water creates a suction that collects debris in the screen filter of the vacuum.

as per DPO Family Vlog Id personally buy the high power verison of the intex pump set. I found that a small leak of air can make a big difference to suction and a bigger filter needs less backwashing, I currently backwash mine about once a week but if I want best performance from MX9 and thorugh the wall skimmer in conjunction then I need to backwash ev ery 2 or 3 days but it depends on debris etc etc

Yes keep the pump on filter setting, it uses the water pressure to push dirt into the vacuum filter.

Yes on filter or on recirculate is fine. It uses "Venturi effect" to suck in dirt.

Why does it seem to just blow all the dirt around instead of picking it up. It just stirs it all back up again.
@LifeLessOrdinary
@LifeLessOrdinary 4 жыл бұрын
This unit is more for picking up debris, yes it will tend to move dirt because of the water pressure coming out. I have a small vacuum I use for getting out sand and dirt. It’s called a catfish pool blaster small cordless vac it’s awesome.

You can definitely give that a try it won’t hurt anything, That just bypasses the sand basically. If that doesn’t seem to work there might be a problem with the vacuum itself. Deep inside there’s a little flapper that moves back-and-forth that’s what allows the water to flow through and push it.

Pool store employees get really butt hurt when you tell them you have the cheap pools. What you fail to acknowledge is that not everyone can afford a 2k+ pool. Our kids still deserve to have a pool to swim so you pool store people all need to chill. If you carried these less expensive pools we'd buy them from you but you don't.
