We just had a new liner installed in our 65000 gal inground pool. The reason is because our elete Dolphin robotic vacuum destroyed our previous liner. You mentioned using a robotic one. Our liner was 20 yrs old but now we don't feel safe using the Dolphin Robotic Vzcuum. Please give us your opinion whether to just clean maually or not. The Dolphin was new last year.
Hi Robotic cleaners should not mark up the liner. You can check with the manufacturer and see if it's compatible with liners. I would also check your chlorine levels. High levels can make it easier to damage liners and most importantly it's very bad for our health. You should be between 1ppm and 3ppm but try and keepnit closer to 1ppm

When jets are pointed too high they ripple the surface which makes it hard to see when vacuuming, and I have heard it artificially raises the pH level by mixing in air. It might also increase evaporation.
Thanks a lot for the video. My valve system at the pump is a little different than yours but I got the main ideal from your video. Also, I thought about trying something as I was watching you fill the vacuum hose by submerging it in the pool and I that was once I had the vacuum connected to the pole and the hose in the water all but the one end that goes in the skimmer. I used a water hose and filled the hose completely with water from the garden hose and connected to the skimmer and it began vacuuming immediately. Thanks for your video! Not only did I learn something it made me think about another way of getting water in the vacuum hose. Thanks again!
" Before we come to open your pool" I love that so many people have these and don't know how to properly open and close them, or just don't want to :-)
This might be a dumb question. I have just a simple above ground, vinyl lined pool. We have a walnut tree that sprinkles green dust in the pool and we’re looking into buying this vacuum. Won’t it just circulate through if I hook it up to our skimmer basket?
Depends on the fineness of the dust and the type of filter you have. I think even cartridge filters should clean it out. Even more so if you have a DE filter.
Hey I vacuum pool and it's clean... after filter runs at night I notice dirt comes right back in the pool, re circulated from, the filter/pump... what can possibly be the cause of this? It is a cartridge filter system
Thank you for posting this. I have a PENTAIR system and absolutely love it. Very easy to maintain. I understand there is a feature which allows you to drain your spa into the pool to allow for deep cleaning and then return the water back to the SPA once complete. Do you know which mode the pool needs to be in to perform this action? Thank you in advance for your help.
Matt, Great video. Our pool (home we bought recently) has two skimmer openings. The openings are threaded. There are no caps to thread in either of the two skimmer openings. Hence, I need to cap off one so I can get suction through the other opening where the vacuum hose will be attached. I will assume that either opening can be used once one or the other is capped. I assume that I can get a replacement cap at a pool supply? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks
Placing the hose by the outlet to remove air is probably the most helpful tip I've seen and I've watched a number of videos. Most people submerge the hose head a few times until there's no water drawing back into the pool, but there could still potentially be air trapped inside. Great stuff man!
i dont understand why there isnt a cheap electric manual pool cleaner in 2021?!!!i mean seriosly.NOT the robotic expensive ones but a simple electric manual with a handle just like a normal vacuum.ITS that so hard to build???!!!
@@15tapatio if you have water spilling into the pool, that means you could have the East touch system in spa fill, if you have manual valves you did not switch the suction valve, your valve actuator on the suction side failed in pool mode, or you have a damaged valve. That is allowing water to suck from the pool and spa.
That pool looks beautiful. I’m planning on doing an owner builder pool if I have existing concrete on my patio and build the pool how could I do the cool deck with tile so it flows to the existing patio? Just do concrete pool deck and tile on top ?
