Just a thought - by keeping the vacuum at the bottom of the pool, you are asking the pump to try to force air to the bottom of the pool to exit the hose, so there is a lot of resistance. If you keep the vacuum near the surface while the hose is filling up, it shouldn't have to work as hard.
This thing does not work i repeat it does not work in no way shape or form . I would have a better chance of making peace in the middle east than getting this to work. It couldn,t even suck up as much as a piece of straw even after the hose was clear of air and the reducer was added to the intake valve . This thing is just useless .
Thank you for the video I vacuumed my Pool for the first time yesterday and I had a hell of a time trying to get the air out of the hose. No after watching your video I think is going to be a piece of cake. Thank you
Thank you. I was looking for a video that explains what to do with the second intake valve. All the other videos seem to only have one. Now I'm ready to clean my pool. Your video has been a lot of help. Took a lot of stress off me 😄. Once again thanks.
If it still has too much air after use have prepared your vacuum hose, start unscrewing the knob on top of the pre filter by the motor. This will make more water push into the Pre filter and allow excess air to escape
Thank you for the video! The blue adapter part you show at 1:52, is that different from the skimmer adapter? My vacuum hose has rigid ends that are exactly the same diameter as my skimmer adapter, so it doesn‘t fit on there. If I see it correctly, you also don‘t seem to be using your skimmer adapter. If you‘re using a different part - where did you het it from?
Oh ok. I just have one of those scrubber heads on a pole with the vacuum hose connected. I can jerry rig that to the connector. It doesn‘t have a filter/net, though. Is that okay? Does the debris just get caught in the sand pump‘s filter?
Thanks so much for this video. We have been trying for 2yrs to hook up the Vacuum. The 1 step we were missing was the "fitting" that needed to be exchanged for the Vacuum to fit. Eureka, it worked! I can't believe it was this simple. Thanks a million! Finally got a good Vacuuming for the Pool. Great Video!
@@RickBolt Thank you. Know I have some dumb questions but I am a first timer and not very savvy with these things. Another thing...where is the hose to use when on waste.
If you bought the manual Intex cleaning kit, the cap you are asking about should’ve been included. The cap is not black like the one he shows is kind of light grey
Thank you for your video. We are having such a hard time. When we block the 2nd intake, the sand filter starts to beep because there is not enough pressure. Any thoughts on what we are doing wrong?
Maybe try backwashing and rinsing the filter? I have a video on my channel for that if you are not familiar. That would clean out the filter and allow better flow.
@Rick Bolt I did do that. How long do you usually backwash, and how long do you rinse for? Maybe we don't do ot long enough? Our pressure is always in the green though.
@@terabevilacqua8565 The owners manual says to do the backwash for a minute and after that you know your supposed to turn off the pump before you change the setting You turn it off after the minute of backwashing and then you change it to rinse Run it for a minute turn it off change it to filter and you are good to go.
The same happens to me. I'm always backwashing bc of flow restriction, not bc psi is high. I can't even get the hose filled with water before it's beeping at me. And with both open, there is no suction at all. I went to my local pool store and they don't give advice on "throw away" pools.
