I watched several videos of people not explaining how to hook everything up properly. This video is perfect and clear and to the point! Thank you very much! First time pool owners here not sure how to work everything yet!
Hey, thanks so much!!! Your videos rock!!! My wife thinks I’m really smart with this pool stuff now, and it’s because of all I’ve learn on your vids!!! Hehehehe. Easy to understand, other vids I’ve watched, were terrible. Thanks again!✌️
I love your channel. I can see how much effort you are putting in your videos to make it special for us. Thank you so much for your sharing such a greate contain . I am looking forward to see more amazing content from your channel. Waiting for next Bell 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔
Heres an easier way to get the air out of the hose. Once you connect to vacuum head and put it in the pool, hold the other end on the return so it pumps the water thru the hose. It will push all the air out for you.
@@HappyFarmsLa no problem. We all get used to a habit and I started doing it the way you do until I saw a video on here. You also should look into installing a Hayward skimmer next season before you fill pool up again. Makes vacuuming 100x easier. Buy skimmer socks to put in basket and it catches everything as you vacuum
@@slamdhatch1150 hey. So I’m Sven and I tried this way too. It does work and it blows air out but when you have much fine particles on the bottom then the water from the return may blow all the sand and things you wanna vacuum up in the water so I rather stick to the other way so my debris and everything what’s on the bottom stays there.
Good job! A good tip is to not worry about trying to suck up larger debris. Systematicly suck the smaller bits and you'll find this process will be quicker and less tedious. Any larger debris can be dipped out with your net.👍
Hey there! Thanks for this video! I’m having a hard time finding the part that you used to attach the hose to the suction part of the pool? I have no idea the technical terms. But I can’t find it!
oh good eye. that I think came with a skimmer I bought and never set up. it is silly the vacuum hose doesn't come with an adapter. I am sorry I can't be more help.
You can vacuum without the pump. Put hose compleetly under water put your hand on the hose and put it inmiddidly over the pool. The water is now flozting without the pump.
Do you ever vacuum it and swim at the same time? Lol? In all serious though, can you just vacuum it and have it go into the pump or does it have to "waste" the water every time you vacuum.
That’s funny because today I took the metal pole off and got inside and vacuumed it yes ha ha. No I only vacuum on waste when the pool is extra full usually I just use the filter to vacuum just make sure you backwash it afterwards and rinse like a show at the end of the video. Thanks for watching let me know if you have any other questions.
What salt cell are you using? The only ones I see are the big clunky white boxes that sit beside the sand filter, this looks like it connects to the discharge line off of the sand filter…..
you know, I went to click on the link I have up, and it has changed to the one you speak of! they must have changed it! wow! Here is the salt water conversion system to add to a pump: amzn.to/3vvS3q4 that is the link I shared which was just like mine! dang! but clunky or not, I love salt to chlorine!
What filter system do you have? It’s my first time owning a pool. It’s something like yours and it only came with a small cartridge filter system. I need something bigger better and that will vacuum sand and dirt out of the bottom.
Yes you do! mine came with that too and it was so bad! I link my filter system under every video but let me grab it for you: amzn.to/3aOJs6w here is a video about it too: ruclips.net/video/HIALA3UZbUg/видео.html
No, you can run it on regular, I use "waste" if my pool is full and the water goes out on the ground, but normally im running it on filter and the sand is filtering, just make sure to run it on "backwash" for 30 secs and then "rinse" for 15 after doing the cleaning.
What if you have a heater and forgot to turn it off when you attached everything and then air got into the sand filter and there is no suction. Do you do a backwash??
Hi, my pool has been milk cloudy for two weeks. I went to pool supplies store and they told me to do this.I’ve tried shock, chlorinating liquid,earth and let the pump runs 24 hrs. And also vacuum too. But the cloudy water still the same. Please help me, what I did wrong and what I didn’t do to fix my pool.
@Adriana Lopez My pool water was the same I got a bottle of hth drop out from Walmart ran the pump for 2 hrs and then pour the drop out evenly thru the pool (read instructions to make sure how much product you have to used in your pool)wait 24 hrs and you will be able to see all the fine particles have drop to the pool floor
No, that is just to begin for me because my pool is full. A little further in the video I turn it to filter and finish vacuuming, just be sure to "backwash" and "rinse" after vacuuming. (at end of video I show this) thanks for watching.
Hi, this pool is salt water with a salt to chlorine converter. That helps it stay clean without adding chemicals. You have the same filter but you feel the suction is low? Hmmmm... might need to check all the connections make sure they are tight and there are no leaks. sorry that is the best I can say to help you.
How strong is your pump? Do you have two outlets sucking water from the pool? If your pump isn’t very strong, you may need to cap one of the suction hose to get more section from the other one. I hope that makes sense.
How long are you running the pump? I put my liquid chlorine in at night. Sounds like you need to shock it (high chlorine dose overnight and run filter for 24 hours.)
@@HappyFarmsLa when I had my last round pool, I actually dug out a fifteen inch depression in the middle for the “run in circles trick”. Helped keep things in there. I just set up an oval pool so not sure what I’m up against. I appreciate your videos. Waiting for parts to upgrade to a bigger sand filter from my new Costco best way pool.
filter most of the time, at the very start I sometimes use "waste" if the pool is full from rain and I have some extra water I pump the yucky stuff right out.
The link should be under the video- the triangle head is all it is. You can buy the hose separately or a vacuum set on Amazon. Thank you hope u find it let me know
do you mean the sand that has come from your filter? if so, I do try to vacuum that up, yes, but sometimes it comes right back in, it isn't supposed to come out of the filter. May be an issue inside your filter...but I just don't worry too much about a little sand... just pretend i'm at the beach.
So I didn’t have a backwash hose for 3 years lol. I was just shooting water out the filter waste port and like 2 months ago I ordered and got a hose. Not much of a help to me but yeah I have a sewage line and I would like to get more of those and set it in the sewer.

@@HappyFarmsLa Thanks Dani . Peace out fellow earthling
What if you put a hose on the backwash and put the hose into the pool. And at the end of the hose put a sock so it collects the algae and dirt?
Thank you for this, what a good idea connector on pool I have to take over the top of pool,
A pool vacuum so cool, your pool is perfect as can be Dani🤩. Happy weekend❤❤❤✨!

Quick tip to remove air from your vaccum line use the return from your sand filter
thank you!!
Hose clamp on pool wall attachment to hold hose
You should put a Hayward skimmer in I know it ruins the warranty on the pool but they work very well
Good advice. My warranty is already voided (salt water) thanks!

Hey there! Thanks for this video! I’m having a hard time finding the part that you used to attach the hose to the suction part of the pool? I have no idea the technical terms. But I can’t find it!
oh good eye. that I think came with a skimmer I bought and never set up. it is silly the vacuum hose doesn't come with an adapter. I am sorry I can't be more help.
Its a part you can order on amazon. i dont have a link
@erin do you know what the part is called?
I used pavers and one of the corners poked a big hold in the liner.I removed them an patched it.
I have the hardest time cleaning my pool and I notice I don’t have enough suction so you know wha tit could possibly be?
I apologize i am just now seeing this pool comment! what size is your pump? iF you have the little carteridge one they are not very strong.
When you went second round after hose clean did you go on recirculation instead of filter setting. You didn't specifi
i am not sure, i don't use recirculate much
Thank you so much for your detail explanation. The gadget you added to port C comes with all pools? If not what is the part name?
that part came with a skimmer I bought actually! I do not know why the vacuum stuff does not come with the atatchment. Im sorry I am not more help.
It is true if you keep the dirt down no algae doesn't wanna grow
That blue piece also comes with the intex skimmer.
Oh yeah!! thanks!
I wish I could come over and swim with you!
Me too!!
You can vacuum without the pump. Put hose compleetly under water put your hand on the hose and put it inmiddidly over the pool. The water is now flozting without the pump.
That gives me an idea
what is your idea?
I would take those screen things off. Just in the way esp if your taking such good care like you seem to 😊
it doe slow it down...but keeps all that stuff from the filter..but u right that is what the filter is for!
Do you ever vacuum it and swim at the same time? Lol?

When doing this do you need to close the outlet that throws water back into the pool?
No, you can run it on regular, I use "waste" if my pool is full and the water goes out on the ground, but normally im running it on filter and the sand is filtering, just make sure to run it on "backwash" for 30 secs and then "rinse" for 15 after doing the cleaning.

air in the filter, sorry slow response. i would try backwash yes, i am not an expert!
What if you don’t need to empty water from the pool? What setting what you use?
you can use filter.
We clean our pool with shock and a vacuum to get the debris out the bottom

@@esalinas4554 hi , I’ve tried everything to clear up my pool. Thank you for the info , I will buy and try to do that . 😊
buy the clorox clcrazy clarifier 1 gallon. It worked over night. then will vac the stuff on bottom. After psending 300 this clorox was 17
Check the pH level and maybe adjust with pH minus
Is there a way to do that without draining the water? Or does it have to be on the waste setting?
No, that is just to begin for me because my pool is full. A little further in the video I turn it to filter and finish vacuuming, just be sure to "backwash" and "rinse" after vacuuming. (at end of video I show this) thanks for watching.
My pump doesn't have a waist button so do I vacuum on back wash instead???
No you don’t want to vacuum on backwash. That is for cleaning it out. You can vacc on filter. And backwash after to clean out the sand
It looks like we have the same pool. I cant keep it clear. Any tips? We have the same filter, I feel like the suction is low
Hi, this pool is salt water with a salt to chlorine converter. That helps it stay clean without adding chemicals. You have the same filter but you feel the suction is low? Hmmmm... might need to check all the connections make sure they are tight and there are no leaks. sorry that is the best I can say to help you.
I need help? Why does the dirt go back in the pool! What setting should I use
It should not go back in the pool. I vacuum on filter- that sounds like an issue with your filter, is it new? Does it have enough sand in it?
@@HappyFarmsLa yes it’s new & I don’t know if it has enough sand in it! I’ll check on it now
How do I get my filtration system to flow like your I have no suction
How strong is your pump? Do you have two outlets sucking water from the pool? If your pump isn’t very strong, you may need to cap one of the suction hose to get more section from the other one. I hope that makes sense.
Hi thanks I have a summer wave just a skimmer and one port it is a 2100 sand filter.
Great job👍 do you have a sand filter pump for sale?

You need to remove that intake brittle thats built in so stuff doesn't get stuck
How do you remove that and will the screw on adapter still screw on??

Thank you for sharing! If the water is not full from rain, do you vacuum with filter option instead of waste?
I do usually vacuum on filter, just don't forget to backwash after and rinse the sand (shown at end of video) Happy swimming to you!
My pool is green what am i doing wrong
How long are you running the pump? I put my liquid chlorine in at night. Sounds like you need to shock it (high chlorine dose overnight and run filter for 24 hours.)
Do I have to vacuum on waste
No like I said I only vacuum on waste when the pool is overfilled from rain and needs a little draining
If you have a round pool, run around in circles in the water and all the loose gunk collects in the middle for easier cleanup.
