A pool vacuum is a handy accessory that allows a pump to help clean the pool. Space consists of a head, a pole, and a flexible corrugated tube. You can see my last article about how to clean your swimming pool. But in this article lets talk about the steps to use a swimming pool vacuum.
Step 1-Clean Up Using Above Ground Pool Vacuum
The vacuum tube is usually plugged in by the skimmer, or a vacuum plate can be specially installed. I have Aquabot Pool Rover in my house, and I think this is the best above ground pool vacuum that I have.
Step 2-Empty the Tube
Remove the skimmer basket and press the free end of the tube so that you can see it above the deck. Place the hole in the vacuum above a pool return exit so that water is pressed into the machine. When you look at the skimmer water coming from the end of the tube, you have removed all the air from the tube. Leave the vacuum in the water. This is an essential exercise because the air in the container is much more elastic than water and the pump might work too hard to empty the air out of the machine.
Step 3-Connect the tube to the skimmer
Connect the hose to the return opening at the back of the skimmer. If you have a vacuum plate, use it instead. You should see that there is water flowing through the tube because the vacuum is still under water.
Step 4-Switch to waste if available
If your filtration system has a multi-port with a position to send the pump output to lose, you must set it up before you do anything else. Remember to turn off the pump before changing the setting and turning it back on when it is broken. If your pump does not have this setting, your filtration system will receive the water pulled through the vacuum tube.
Step 5-Use the vacuum
On the off chance that your pump is vacuumed as fast as conceivable in light of the fact that the water being sucked up by the pool vacuum isn't being supplanted. On the off chance that you don't have a waste setting, there is no time limitation.
Step 6 – Slow and easy
Use the pole to move the vacuum tube with manual pool movement across the bottom and the walls of the pool. All dust and debris must be in the machine and then through the filters to be sucked or thrown away.
When you have cleaned the pool, you must reset the pump to filter if you had the option of switching to waste (if you think you switch it off first). Disconnect the vacuum tube and feed as much water from the machine as possible to make it lighter and easier to handle. If you have used a vacuum plate, you will find a basket behind the plate that may need to empty larger pieces of dirt from the pool.
On the off chance that your pump is vacuumed as fast as conceivable in light of the fact that the water being sucked up by the pool vacuum isn't being supplanted. On the off chance that you don't have a waste setting, there is no time limitation.
A saltwater pool or a chlorine pool? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
To disinfect swimming pool water, There are two possibilities: adding chlorine or adding salt to kill the bacteria and the algae in the water.
Why do we need to disinfect our pool water?
Everyone wants to be able to swim in clean, safe and clear pool water. To prevent the water from being green by algae formation or water going stink it is essential to add a disinfectant to the pool water.
Swimming pool water disinfecting with chlorine
Chlorine is the most widely used disinfectant for swimming pools and spas and is often added to the sea via chlorine tablets in the pool or liquid form via an (automatic) dosage directly in the piping.
Chlorine ensures that bacteria and algae do not get a chance to develop in the water. Important to know: chlorine only works excellently as a disinfectant when the PH value of the water is good. The best PH value is between 7.2 and 7.6. More about the correct PH value can be found here. You can find out more about the perfect water balance here.
Different weather conditions and frequent use of the bathing water ensure that chlorine is a repeat product. You should therefore regularly add chlorine to keep the pool water free from infections. Good to know is that chlorine is a part of salt. So also a saltwater swimming pool contains chlorine. Chlorine is and remains a chemical product and should therefore always be treated with care.
