yes but its too long, you probably would want to shorten it.
with a hand vacuum you would be best of vacuuming it to waste in order to get rid of it Al rather then stopping it with the filter and then backwashing.
To use a pool vacuum effectively, start by connecting the vacuum head to a telescopic pole and attaching the hose to the vacuum head. Submerge the vacuum head into the pool and turn on the pump to create suction. Move the vacuum head across the pool floor in a slow and steady motion, overlapping each pass to ensure thorough cleaning. Pay special attention to corners and steps. Empty the skimmer basket and backwash the filter as needed to maintain suction power.
You don't. Cartridge filters are cleaned by removing the filter element from the cylinder and washing them down. usually a hose down is enough, however over time calcium and other build ups can block them up and there are cleaners available to fix this problem.
There is an insert that goes into the large surface skimmer that includes a net filter bag. A vacuum hose goes on the insert and the other end on the vacuum. I use a little shark automatic cleaner with mine. Works great!
You just put the crawler hose into the pool vacuum outlet and off it goes. It's just a mechanical vacuum that saves you doing the job.
Follow the directions for hooking up the vacuum either the one that uses the skimmer or the one that hooks up to a garden hose. Make sure all air is out of the hose and you have a good suction. Keep the vacuum head in the water. Then vacuum just like you would vacuum a carpet or floor.
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
To maintain a small Intex pool you will need a filter, pool vacuum, pool test kit, net, and chemicals. Keep the filter running to clean the water, test the water daily. Adjust chemicals for chlorine, and PH. Use the net to scoop out leaves and debris as needed, vacuum the pool as needed as well.
My yard slopes a little bit. I take a garden hose or lately, my vacuum hose and run water in from the outside end until the hose is completely full. I drain it to the lowest part of my yard. You can stop running water in when no more bubbles come out into the pool. I secure a heavy wrench onto the pool end of the hose to keep it underwater. This will drain the majority of the pool. Then I have a small fish pond pump that I use for the rest of the water. This is very slow, I imagine if you have a pump to remove water from a cover, it would work as well. Good luck.
Scrape some of it of the pool and take it to your pool shop, it sounds like it might be black algae, the shop wit have something to kill it of this is really hard stuff to kill so its good that the pool is empty.
In order to vacuumn the pool you must first put in the vacuum and the hose. You can siphon the air out of the hose by putting it in front of the return to dispace all air in the hose line. Then turn off the pump. Insert the end of the vacuum line either into the port at the bottom of the skimmer in the pool or remove the skimmer basket and insert it in the bottom of the skimmer. Then after the line is secure, turn on the pump motor. Your vacuum should be ready to use (manually) or run automatically if you have an automatic pool cleaner such as an Aquabug. If you have a slimline skimmer there is a port located just below the skimmer door it is used for the vac hose. After connecting the hose you put your skimmer lid down inside of skimmer and then you can turn on pump. By doing it this way you can let skimmer basket catch all large debries. This saves on having to backwash so much.
That would be a vacuum hose with a hole in it, burst isn't usually a term I would use with a vacuum hose as it tends to imply pressure pushing out.
