Normally a swimming pool had a static skimmer installed at the side of the pool this is where the surface water from the pool runs through a leaf basket to the filter. a vacuum plate fits over the leaf basket area. A hose can be plunged into the vacuum plate that hooks into a pool floor vacuum head. this head is connected to an aluminum pole or handle after that you use it the same as a normal vacuum cleaner. A pool shop will be able to advise you on the correct choice of hard ware. RB
Starting on the pump side
(1) A leaf basket in the normal position behind the static skimmer.
(2) A vacuum plate that fits over the leaf basket with a pool hose hole in it.
(3) A swimming pool hose with the correct fittings on either side one side to fit into the vac plate and the other side fits onto the pool vacuum head.
(4) A pool vacuum head ( I have always preferred the ones with the multitude of wheels on the front and the back.
(5) A telescopic pool net pole that fits onto the vacuum head. Well, for most pools, assuming that they are in ground, you can eliminate #'s 1 and 2 above, #3. the hose can be anywhere from 30' to 50' depending upon the length of the pool and the location of the skimmer. A standard pool vac hose will fit both the standard vac head and all skimmers. #4. Would of course be a flexable vac head. Preferrably a good quality one with ball bearing wheels.
To the skimmer
how do you hook up the cleaner to salt water pool pump
You should have a vacuum plate with a hole in it for the he hose to be plugged into. The vacuum plate is a disc shaped object that fits over the leaf basket in the pools static skimmer box. If you cant find one you may have to get one from a pool shop.
If there is a vacuum port open it and turn off your skimmer port and reduce the flow in your main drain,If no vac port plug the hose into the skimmer, If you have more than 1 skimmer plug one of them off.And please use a pool approved vacuum, Kirby or Hoover will not work.
You must have a vac system. Use it to remove the dust. The pool equipment can not do it all you have to help keep the pool clean by vac the pool, adding chemicals, cleaning the tile line etc. A pool is a money pit and labor intensive. You could also have a broken filter element with a D E filter. In that case get the filter repaired.
If it is a point type distributor you will want to hook it to constant vacuum...somewhere on a port in the base plate. If it's HEI you'll want to hook it to one in the carb body. Something that has no vacuum at idle but pulls vacuum as you give it throttle.
hook it up to the intake vacuum, normally the back of the carburetor where the brake booster may be plugged in. On a vehicle without power brakes, the vacuum port is normally plugged with a screw in plug.
how do you hook up vacuum lines in a 1988 Chevy nova
engine vacuum or direct into the intake.
Your distributor needs vacuum to advance your timing during acceleration. That's why you hook up your line to the port that has no vacuum at idle. :O)
The vac system has to hook up the the skimmer not the Hayward filter. k
It hooks up to the vacuum ports on the carb or intake.
Get manual specific to that vehicle and follow vacuum routings
