INTEX pool vacuum review 

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.

I just obtained one of these last year and also the saltwater and sand filter system. I have trees over the pool and this system is cheap to start up and maintain. Great job with the video too brother.

Thank you so much for this video! We could not figure out where to attach it to as the directions were a bit confusing. We watched your video and it is working!!

I've tried many intex cleaners but the one I've found most useful for my rectangular prism 10x5m pool is the zodiac mx9 it's more expensive but climbs the wall and picks up everything except sticks and twigs

Thanks for the great info! I had one for almost 2 years now and had no idea how to make it work, smh.

Thx for the video. My sister in law gave me one of these vaccums but she didn't know where the adapter was. So in order to try and find one, I needed to know what it looked like. Thanks, u r the only video that showed a good view of what the adapter looked like .

Great product, easy to clean -worked out great !

Great video thank you!!

Nice job reviewing this. The fact that you could do that one-handed while you filmed is very telling! Nice clean pool for the family. 👍🏻

Very informative video and yes I had to that thing really sucks lol

Thanks man, really help me a bunch.

Great video, thanks for sharing

You helped a lot thank you.

Thank you!!!!

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

Just ordered one on line. I have the 2800gph filter. Hope it works as good as they say.

Funny i had the pool blaster b4 definitely was great for my 18 but it died...we got a 22 last yr and ended up getting the newer version of the vac u have now over the winter... 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.

We just an 18 ft pool and was considering this vacuum after your review i will be purchasing. Question, how is your pool so blue? We just set ours up and ours is still slightly green. We have our chlorine tab floating and pump running too.

Thank you so much for the review! Was on the fence about it. Very helpful! Quick question, what setting should the filter pump be on? Filter or backwash?

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.

Don you keep it on filter mode on the sand filter? And hook it up to the blower part of the pool?

What kind of filter do you have? I know it’s a sand filter but what brand?

Wow! I had exactly the pool blaster for few years and it really cleaned my pool but I’m just tired and I’m getting this one automatic. Thank you so so much. Also my pool is 16x48 it should work good?

can you also use the pool vacuum with a filter of lower capacity ? (4.500 liter/hour)?

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.

Hi - my 3m x 1.25 m hose that comes with it has perished. I can only get 1.5 m x 1.25 mm replacements. Is there a way of combining two hoses?

Thanks for the review! Can you run this overnight while the timer on your pump is running?

Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

My Intex sand pump runs 1200 gph would the this auto cleaner work with my pump

After I upgraded our pump a few years ago ours didn’t run right afterwards. I might get another one and give it another try . My lil shark is a suction vacuum and barely moves.

I have a question about connection pipe from vacuum to plug of filtrs pomp. I use bestway pomp. Do you think both staff will match well to each other? Do you recommend a special conmection to buy as well.

How often do you take it out of the pool? Is it okay to leave it inside the pool overnight/during the day whenever the pump is off?

Can you provide a link to the specific holes you used to make it longer and reach inside the whole pool? Thank you

I just bought the Intex maintenance kit that comes with a little vacuum similar to the one you had , there's no instructions on how you connect it lol and I'm all new to this , are all vacuumed suppose to go through the return ?

I can hear air sucking thru the hose connections. Did/does yours?

When you stop this, do you pull it out of the water or turn the pump off first? Does it matter? Wondering which way lets the least amount back into the pool, or if it matters. Thanks for the video!

I see you have the skimmer too. Did you plug the other inlet to stop it from sucking to run the skimmer?

I just got the 32' x 16' intex rectangular ultra frame pool. I know this said it only works on pools 24' and less. Do you know if there is an option to get this to cover a 32'? Extra hose?

What mode do you use when u put it in the water? “Filter” , “recirculate” or “waste” ??

What did you have your pump set on while using it filter or recirculating

What is your current pump settings? My intex cleaner for some reason stops for about 30-40 seconds before it starts moving again. I think it has to do with the water outflow pressure.

Was wondering what skimmer you use? Thank you

How does it work with the A being connected to the return instead of the suction ?

Did you have to upgrade your outlet from 1.25 to 1.5 plunger valve? I have a 15x48 Intex ultra frame which came with 1.25 intakes and outlet. I don't think this would work on the 1.25 outlet.

Did that swivel hose come with the vacuum or is that custom made? We have this vacuum but came with standard vacuum hose and always gets tangled. Vacuum works great until it gets tangled. We can not find this swivel hose anywhere. HELP THANK YOU

Make sure your no more than inch off level or it will stall and clean the flapper inside if one side stops working

How long should I run it before disconnecting?

Very good review! My Intex pool is only 10’x30” w/1,185 gallons. Do you know if they make a smaller bottom cleaner? Edit: NM, just saw the Catfish vacuum you were using before. I’ll probably buy that one 👍🏻

What setting is your pump on, the multi-valve, what do you put it on?

I have one they are wonderful

I have a 16x42 Intex Quik Set above ground pool. All the videos I have watched on this pool cleaner is for the Intex hardside pools. Will this work to clean mine since it is a soft side? Thanks!

What did you run it under filter mode? And also is all B’s connected together as well at the C’ s or it has to be B, C, B,C?

3:31 your lucky mine stopped working after a week and I did everything right

I’ve have the 10 in sand filter. 1200 flow. Will this work. The hose leaks water??

We just bought this ,but it won't fit the the connections on our pool!! Been to a pool store and a plumbing supply store and can't find some thing that could be adapted to the outlet on the pool. Any suggestions????

How well would this vaccum work on cleaning up dead algae that has settled on the bottom? I was wondering if the algae would be to fine and just go straight through the screen and back into the pool.

Can I use this on a above ground pool that is not an intex?

what is the name of that hose attachment not to be twisted

For everyone complaining about the hose tangling, it LITERALLY tells you to trim your house during the installation process. Here’s your sign.

I have a 12 foot x 4 pool but I did upgrade to stronger sand filter. You think this will work in my small pool?

I just got mine today Well the hoses look different just one long one great but it won’t connect to my inside pool I have a old school pump is this why help

Quick question approximately how much did you pay for the vacuum?

WHERE DO YOU GET THE HOSE LIKE THE ONE IN THE VIDEO?

What pump did you upgrade to? Also what skimmer?...any other upgrades?

Do you need to backwash after you vacuum the pool?

I just got one of these on ebay but its missing the adapter piece that goes into the return valve. Do you happen to know what type of adapter I need to get for this?

Can this run on 1500 gph

Is it possible to use with Summer Waves pool?

My vacuum came with a 25' hose didn't have to puzzle piece it together and the adapter for outlet side.

coul

I have the same pump I think I wanted to buy this pump but I think my holes are only 1.25 and I dont wanna cut the pool do you know what size it is?

Does the filter stay on the "filter" option while vacuuming?

I also bought one intex vacuum. Water flows out between parts B and C. Is that normal?

Nice video. How much was the vacuum

I have just one 8 M long white hose, enough for 6.1 M pool.

Why does it seem to just blow all the dirt around instead of picking it up. It just stirs it all back up again.

will this work with the originial pump that came with the pool

What did you put your filter pump setting on?

Mine keeps popping out of the wall. I have a pump 2500 gph but i dont know why it just spits the attachment out. I wont stay connected. I dont know what im doing wrong. Im so frustrated

what is the model number on this one

Please help. I can not get the strainer cap off now that I have water over it. In order to screw the adapter on. Any suggestions ??

I can’t get mine to move, I get flow to the vacuum but I guess it’s not enough to push it.. it’s an intex sand filter 1200gph.

I don’t get good pressure we upgraded to a better filter but it runs into the wall and stops. I think the connection between the hoses is bad if I move it around it works but that kinda defeats the purpose

Why does my vacuum rise up when it takesoff

What kind of pool pump do u use?

???? We bought the same model # for a 22’ diameter INTEX pool... Hose was 1 continuous piece and too short. Called INTEX, asked for the longer SEGMENTED SWIVEL HOSE...they sent a longer ONE PIECE hose, NO swivels, WTF!

Everything Intel is get what you pay for, if it doesn’t work or you need parts, don’t call your pool pro, we don’t work on the pools or their accessories.

Or a bigger pump

Mine came with one long 24 foot hose and tangles itself up lol

I can't find this vaccum anywhere!!!!

You don't need a sand filter

This thing sucks it really doesn't pick up much
