When your pool gets dirty, you have to do what you do in your own house, vacuum. Everybody wants to be able to have a sparkly clean pool waiting for them to swim in, however, you can't achieve this without a vacuum. Every pool vacuum is usually a package of items. There is the head, handle, hose, and plate.
Vacuum parts
The vacuum head is either a brush or a very flexible roller. The handle connects the head to the rest of the vacuum and is usually telescopic. The vacuum hose is a soft flexible hose that has cuffs on both ends that connect the head of the vacuum on one end and the skimmer box to the other end. The hose has to be long enough so that it will go from the skimmer box to the farthest point on your pool floor. The hose is usually 38 mm for inground pools and 32 mm for above ground pools. Be sure that these measurements will work with your pool. The vacuum plate is in the skimmer box.
Preparing
Before you begin to vacuum your pool, be sure that you do two items before you start. The first thing you must do is make sure that the filter is clean before vacuuming. This makes sure that it will not backwash anything into the pool after you have vacuumed the entire pool. The second thing that you must do is make sure that your floor isn't extremely dirty. If it is extremely dirty, you will probably be wasting your time and therefore you will be vacuuming up waste.
Vacuum set up
The vacuum head has to be connected to the handle, along with the hose before you begin vacuuming. You then will place the head on the very bottom of your pool. The hose will then fill up with water. Once the hose if filled with water, you can then connect the hose to the skimmer box. Next you will place the open end of your hose over the return in order to fit the pool. You will then use the returning water to force the air from your hose. After this has been completed, you will then connect the hose into the skimmer box vacuum plate. After you have completed all of these things, you can begin vacuuming your pool. Move the vacuum head along the pool floor removing all the debris and items in your pool.
What to remember
Do not vacuum up any large leaves or twigs that are in your pool. You can remove these items by your pool net. If you vacuum them up, you run the chance of ruining your vacuum or clogging your vacuum. You may have to switch off the pump while you are vacuuming so that you can remove the hose or plate. Be sure that you never lift the vacuum head from the pool floor. You must disconnect the vacuum hose from the skimmer box before you ever lift the vacuum off the floor.
