Simple Steps to Vacuuming Your Above Ground Pool
1
Attach vacuum hose and pole to vacuum head. Submerge unit in pool.
2
Hold other end of hose over water return. Hose will fill with water, driving out all air trapped in hose.
3
While holding hose below water, place the vacuum plate into the skimmer, leaving the skimmer basket in place. Quickly attach hose to elbow fitting. You are now ready to vacuum.
EXPERT TIP: Utilizing your vacuum without the vacuum plate is an option - You can remove the skimmer basket and insert the vacuum hose into the skimmer intake by going over the top ledge. The pump strainer basket will also help collect the debris that you are vacuuming.
If your skimmer was not supplied with an elbow fitting, simply take off the skimmer cover and put the vacuum hose directly on to the vacuum plate.
