To remove a stuck vacuum head from a skimmer, first, turn off the pool pump to avoid any suction. Gently wiggle the vacuum head to loosen it, and if it remains stuck, try using a pair of pliers to grip and pull it out carefully. If that doesn't work, you may need to submerge your hand or a tool to push the vacuum head from the other side of the skimmer. Always ensure the skimmer basket is clear to prevent future clogging.

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.
