What setting do I put my sand filter on to vacuum my pool?

This is a question that comes up often. If you have an automatic pool cleaner, it should be the last filter in the line before the pump. This ensures that all debris and dirt are filtered out of your pool water before they reach your pump which can cause damage to your equipment. If you don't have an automatic cleaner then there are other factors to take into consideration for placement of your sand filter; how close do you live to large bodies of water, what kind of landscaping do you have around your pool? The answer will vary from person to person so if this question has been on your mind lately come down and see us!

Turn your sand filter to "backwash". This way the water will drain from the bottom of the pool and suck up any dirt or debris that is in there.

How do you hook up a vacuum to an Intex pool?

First, you need to find the vacuum connection on your pool. This is typically located at the bottom of the pool and can be identified by a long tube extending from it. Next, attach your hose to this port using a standard garden hose fitting adapter or an Intex connector kit if you have one. Finally, turn on the pump for about four hours before turning off and disconnecting your vacuum cleaner from your pool vacuum connection.

  1. Purchase a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment
  2. Attach the vacuum to the pool using the hose attachment
  3. Turn on the vacuum and watch it suck up all of your pool's debris!
  4. Disconnect from the power source when you are finished
  5. Clean out any excess dirt that is left in your pool by vacuuming again, if necessary

The Intex pool comes with a hose attachment. You can hook up your vacuum to the end of the hose, and then use it to suck out all of the leaves in your pool.

If you have an Intex above ground pool, there are a few steps you can take to properly vacuum the pool.

Next, attach a leaf bag over your vacuum's nozzle and turn on your vacuum cleaner. Finally, run it around all edges of the pool while holding down the handle so that no air escapes out of it.

Do you remove skimmer basket when vacuuming pool?

Skimmer baskets are often removed when vacuuming pools in order to remove dirt and debris. However, there is a chance that some of the dirt could be left behind which can then end up in your pool water. A skimmer basket should never be removed without first filtering out all the water with either a pump or net. The best way to vacuum your pool is by using an automatic cleaner like Dolphin's Nautilus Plus Skim-Vac™ Pool Vacuum Cleaner, which can clean both swimming lanes and deep end while removing 99% of bacteria from the surface of the pool! This type of cleaner has filters on board so they don't need replacement for over 8 months!
