Yes you can BUT all the debris will re-enter the pool as its not being filtered
intex sand filter is not working on filter only working on recirculate position.....what should we do
Filter it, you need something to catch all the organisms your killing. The filter pump will still recirculate.
It is generally safe to add pool chemicals while the vacuum is operating as long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions for both the pool chemicals and the vacuum. However, it may be more effective to add chemicals when the vacuum is not running to allow the chemicals to distribute evenly throughout the water before the vacuum starts circulating.
To put a pool pump on recirculate, locate the multiport valve on the filter system and turn it to the "Recirculate" setting. This bypasses the filter, allowing water to flow directly from the pool to the pump and back without going through the filtration system. Ensure the pump is turned off before making this adjustment, and then restart the pump after setting it to recirculate. This mode is often used for specific tasks, like adding chemicals or when the filter is being cleaned.
First of I think you may be referring to the pool filter not the pump. "Filter" runs the water thru the filter thus filtering the water. Recirculate, I believe, bypasses the filter media and sends the water back to the pool unfiltered. K
You vacuum waste from a pool with a pool vacuum connected to a pole to push it around the vacuuming devise is plugged into the suction of the pump. If you wish to vacuum to waste on the other hand you will first have to turn of the pump then turn the lever on the top of the filter to waste. This will dump the water, so don't vac to waste any more then you have too.
Any pool vacuum can, including the Polaris.
How do I vacuum an above ground doughboy pool?
A vacuum head that has a brush on the bottom - no wheels.
To turn on the pool vacuum, locate the power switch on the vacuum unit and flip it to the "on" position. Make sure the vacuum is properly connected to the pool's filtration system before turning it on.
To turn on a pool vacuum, first connect the vacuum head to the telescopic pole and attach the hose to the vacuum head. Then, lower the vacuum into the pool and connect the other end of the hose to the skimmer or designated suction port. Finally, turn on the pool pump to start the vacuuming process.
Vacuum the pool to waste and/or empty the pool and shovel out the gunk. Sounds like the pool needs to be emptied anyway, so give it a chlorine wash (or acid wash) while its empty and then refill, add salt, install the necessary equipment and start over with a saline pool.
