Before vacuuming an above ground pool you should make certain the water level is mid-way up the skimmer mouth (opening).
To manually vacuum an above ground pool, typically you:
- Insert the vacuum head onto the end of a telescopic pole.
- Attach one end of the vacuum hose to the vacuum head
- Remove the skimmer lid and skimmer basket
- If you have a vacuum plate, install it.
- While holding onto the telescopic pole, allow submerse the vacuum head and let the vacuum hose float on top of the pool water
- Starting at the end of the vacuum head closest to the vacuum head start feeding the hose down a foot or so into the water.
- Continue to do this until the air is out of the vacuum hose.
- Cup one hand over the end of the vacuum hose while putting it into the skimmer either on the vacuum plate or the opening at the bottom of the skimmer.
- The pump may lose prime but will generally pick prime back up within 10 - 15 seconds.
