vacuum

Bought a house in San Jose CA a few months ago with an inground pool. Not sure when the pool was built, but house was built in 1957. Pool was replastered 1-2 years ago. So I’m new to pool ownership and maintenance and trying to learn as I go along. The skimmer didn’t seem to be working well...

hi,I recently moved into a home with a pool of 30,000 gallons, I’ve done my fair share of research bought all the chemicals and so forth, I superclorinated the pool when I first moved in with about 25 gallons of liquid chlorine which killed the algae in the pool And turn it from dark green to a...

Hey All, Two dust devils came through the exact same spot in our neighborhood today 2-3 hours apart, and both hit our house and yard head-on. It ripped tile shingles off the roof and deposited a bunch of sand and debris in the pool. What a mess. I don't even own a vacuum attachment, as my...

You guys are the BEST. I've learned so much here over the past few weeks! I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I turned OFF the drains in the floor and left the skimmer on and got the vacuum running. Seemed to be going well, but after an hour or so the hose gets curled up in the skimmer...

I have an Intex 12’ metal frame pool with 1.25” lines. I want to purchase the Intex Automatic Pool cleaner, but it says I’ll need the Intex pool with 1.5” lines to connect the vac adapter correctly. I don’t want to cut my liner to add a 1.5” Intex inlet. Is their a part that will screw onto...

This is a pool blaster vacuum that ran off of a 9v battery pack. I took a 9v dc/ac adapter and connected it to it and then to an extension cord using all heat shrink connections. I then sealed the entire interior pack area with silicone and then heat shrink sealed the extension cord connections...

Hello all, new to TFP. haven’t done an OCLT yet (looking to get fas dpd test kit) could anyone confirm (by looks) is this is algae ? I think I’m in denial. There is a backstory including my SWG being out of whack for couple months and pool turning slightly green, I did the stainless steel...

Hi! This is my first season with a pool, although I've kept a hot tub for 20 years. I have an in-ground 20x40 pool, vinyl liner, glass media filter, but I mostly use a manual PoolBlaster Max Li for vacuuming. I have both the regular bag (I think they call it a "fine filtration bag") and a...

Hi all, I haven't seen much other pool equipment, but I'd guess mine is typical in that you can direct water coming to the filter/pump through either the main drains or skimmer (to various degrees), and water returning to the pool can run out the wall jets or to the positive pressure vacuum...

We bought a gas heater for the pool in our new house. I have been running the Baracuda suction cleaner every other day, can I continue to use that if the pool heater is running? Or will the suction affect the pressure and operation of the heater?

Hello Everyday when we run our filter, the pool vacuum gets stuck every single day, several times per day in the exact same spot. Any ideas how to prevent this? It's so frustrating. If we're gone for the day, we will almost always come home to the vacuum stuck in this same spot. Vacuum is a...
