How can I use a pool pump to efficiently drain my pool?
To efficiently drain your pool using a pool pump, you can connect a hose to the pump's outlet and direct the other end of the hose to a suitable drainage area. Make sure the pump is set to the "drain" or "backwash" mode, and turn it on to start draining the water. Monitor the process to ensure the water is being pumped out effectively and adjust the hose as needed to maintain efficient drainage.
What is the proper way to vacuum a pool?
AnswerAttach a pole to the vacuum with wheels. Place the hose into the hole on the bottom of the vacuum. Lower the hose and pole, with the vacuum body with wheels into the water. Lower the hose fully into the water, so that it fills up with water - no air. Cover The end of the hose with your hand. Lift the end of the hose up and into the strainer area. With the skimmer baskets removed, place the hose into the water there, and place it into the black hole, or jet system, inside the skimmer area. That starts the vacuum. Move the vacuum head, pole, and hose around, while picking up all dirt and debris. If there is a lot of dirt and debris, clean out the lint strainer, and backwash. You must backwash, otherwise you will be sending out dirty water to clean with. After the backwash, continue until complete. After you are complete, backwash one more time, after cleaning out the lint strainer.Never backwash before removing the vacuum hose and plate, and cleaning skimmer basket and pump basket. Any flow restrictions reduce backwash effectiveness.AnswerIf you have an above ground pool, you must place the cover over the skimmer that has a protruding end (it should have come with your pool). The vacuum hose fits right over the end of the cover.
Where does pool backwash go?
It goes out the backwash line. This is usually either plumbed into the line, and either goes into the sewer, or out on the ground. Some setups have a hose that you unroll, and attach to a port on the valve. I found my discharge by putting the handle on "backwash", turning the pump on, and looking around! Mine happened to go out into the back ditch. Took all of about 10 seconds to find it.
If a pool has no skimmer where do you put the hose to pick up dirt?
They use to have an adapter that would go from the hose to the inlet side of the pool which in turn went to the pump, most above ground pool use flex hose from the skimmer basket of the pool to the pump, you may just have to put a tee fitting in from the inlet side of the pool and add another inlet just so that you can vacuum, and cap this when you are finished vacuuming, this would be on the outside of the pool this would be added anywhere from the pump back to the pool on the inlet side.
Do you backwash your pool before you put chemicals in?

When vacuming pool set at waste or backwash?
