- In this video I show how to vacuum to waste, and get dead algae out of my pool. Algae can ruin your summer pool season if you don’t get it under control. A lot of people don’t realize that dead algae can breed new algae. So it’s very important to get it removed from your pool. I run my pool on a budget and the way I’m showing you today is very inexpensive to do. Below I have the links to the products.

You forgot to mention to keep your eye on the water level as you are removing lots of water from your pool in 'waste' mode. Especially true for those pools with a fixed wall skimmer. The water level should be midway up the skimmer. People should remember toi add 2 inches of water before vacuuming to waste. I write this for all the new pool owners who have no idea about this stuff.
Absolutely fantastic point 👍🏼
Do you find your pool sways? I have the Coleman version of this pool and it sways. Not dramatically but enough you can feel it and if you stare at it just right you can see the slight movement. It makes me soooo nervous and quite honestly is taking the fun out of owning it.
Yes all of these type pools will sway slightly, but that’s how they are made, it won’t hurt anything . 👍🏼
Awesome content 👏. Excellent advice. Your the savior of steel frame pool owners. A buddy of mine just dumped all of his water and refilled the whole pool because of cloudiness.
It will work mine has has been crystal clear all summer
Thanks man really good content. I’ll be watching the rest of your videos. And liking and following.
Hey Ken I appreciate that very much 👍
There is also a pool clarifier that you can add in that will help with the cloudiness quickly
Great info. Thanks for providing the links of what you use.
Your very welcome 👍
Thanks for for the video, helped with my pool 👍🏊♂️
Thanks for the video, I actually pulled a suction on the hose connected directly to the vacuum and dumped the waste into the grass without the need of going through the system. My pool had a lot of thick waste 👍👍👍👍👍👍
That’s awesome
Thank you so much I needed this
Great video. Thank you for sharing and demonstrating. Also, to anyone spending the $2-300's on an automatic robotic vacuum, in case they aren't aware, the robotic vacuums will not pick up fine debris, so they do not clean out the dead algae....it passes right back thru...
You are correct and that’s why I won’t spend that big money on a vacuum 👍🏼
Nice vid!! I have the 18×9 intex & same skimmer as you.. same dead algae. Lol.
I'm gonna pick up a vac head & hose tomorrow at Walmart since most of their pool stuff is on clearance rite now. Thanks!!!
Let me know how it works out
Awesome thank you. I need to get this.
Worked great for me 👍
We've had the greenest pool the last month+. Constantly trying to get it right but no matter what the water testing results show, the dang thing is still green. We have the exact same pool as yours so we are going to try what you showed. We have everything but the $6 connector. I haven't lost hope just yet after seeing your video.
Let know what happens
I just emptied my pool because chemicals seem so expensive, and with a DE earth filter, every backwash would require more. If i were to attempt to clear the alge, I would have to backwash every hour, so to me, fresh water is just more sanitary and makes sense. Got a sumppump that is great and filling pool now. MAINTENANCE of a pool is not as easy as most think so I now take pride in a crystal clear pool. Only those that have been thru the struggle understand. It's so funny when I run into people that maintain a pool lol
Hey you know what. The adaptor you screw o the outlet strainer grid and connected the skimmer hose on it. The light blue thing that’s connected with your skimmer, you can just remove the hose from the wall and you will have a plastic round part and on that part you can attach the vacuum hose. No need for pulling hose over the wall.
Thanks for the great video!! I was really hoping to see see exactly what the vacuum hose was connected to. Brand new pool owner here and don’t know a thing about anything. I had purchased the same exact vacuum head awhile back but don’t know what to connect it to
Connect the hose to the skimmer. There is an attachment you can use so that you can leave the basket in the skimmer instead of going right out.
Could you show a picture for clarification, please
Great review, thanks for sharing
Thanks Jeff
We had a huge alge problem, the best way we could fix it without wasting water was sewing several thick cotton sheets together to make a sort if hamper bag, we placed it inside a basket, sat the basket over a wooden board over the ladder inside the pool and we hung a $50 sump pump in different areas of the pool. We would mix the water the first week and then focus on certain areas. Once the water would over flow it was time to let it drain, rinse out the bag outside the pool throw it in the washer and repeat. Beware of large amounts of smelly sludge. Also PLEASE BE CAREFUL to not let the cable fall in the pool as to not electrocute yourself, tie it down somewhere or have a trusty helper
Love to see a video of you doing this even if you dont have algae left.
Just found your channel and am so thankful. I have the same pool and you answer all my questions, and the pvc addition is amazing. Thank you
I appreciate your comment thank you, glad the videos help 👍
Do you have a video showing the installation of the pvc pipe on the suction side?
@ferruiz6173 I do 👍🏼
czcams.com/video/-BKgySDisj4/video.html
@@LifeLessOrdinary gracias!!
4:28 Get underwater with goggles?!?! You are definitely loving the new vacuum 😅
Lol
Thanks for the video. Having the same problem. I have a smaller pool so I may try garden hose first. Seems like a lot more water will need to be replaced with the pool hose.
I still use garden hose at times 👍🏼
I am now learning about the art of balancing water. Lol! It’s tricky but I got it! Do you always leave your backwash hose attached to your filter? I wasn’t sure if it was a good practice because no one is mentioning this in their videos and I am tired of attaching and reattaching the hose. I appreciate your informative video!!!!!Thank you!
No, I made a quick connect so I can put it on and take it off very quickly
I found if i scrubbed the algy then used an oar or something to make all the pool water spin in one direction (the faster the better) all the crap that was stirred up will eventually go to the middle (circle pool only) then vacuum all debris that collects in the centre. Lot less waste of water
Yeah I do that sometimes also 👍
What setting on the sand filter do we set it?
Thanks for the video. It helped me out a lot. How did you connect the white hoses together to make a backwash hose?
They were just hoses I had from my intex vacuum
They were the intake hoses that he built a big pvc junction for
Hello, sis you turn off the pump while vacuuming? Because once you set it to waste it will reduce water level quick and a lot
I found your channel a few days ago and I already loving it. I already saw a few videos, but I have a question. You put one end of the hose in the vacuum but where do I have to put the other end? Thanks,
Thank you 🙏🏼. I have the other end in one of the inlet ports using the white adapter. The other port I cover with the plug. It gives you better suction
Thank you!
Get yourself a used pool pump and hook up the vac hose directly to it. Also use a vac head that has wheels. It will work wonders.
Where do you find a vacuum head that has wheels? Seems like almost every vaccum head I've found is flat and has brushes.
Hi great video. I'm just trying to find out how you got the 1 1/2 vacuum hose attached to the B outlets. I'm so frustrated with that part
You can see it in this video, hope this helps
czcams.com/video/kKeAUQzelao/video.html
Thank you very much. we were kind of frustrated. Do u have winterizing pool videos?
No I don’t have a video on that yet but I am going to make one this year when I close the pool
I have one of those basic best way pumps that doesn’t have that lever. Do you know how to do the waste setting (or something similar) for those when using a pool vacuum?
You can’t do it if you do t have that option
great info. im just not sure where you connected the hose connector. does it fit into the standard intex inlet/ suction port on inside of pool
Correct yes it goes right in and the suction keeps it snug 👍
@@LifeLessOrdinary thanks so much. I was at a pool shop today and they told me it couldn't be done. I just ordered a hose and vacuum from Walmart so I will check my local store or Amazon Canada for that adapter
Let me know how it all works out
I have a paper filter and from what I can tell their is no waste option. We got our pool with the house and I am seriously losing my mind with it. It went green over night and I cannot get it clear now. The algae is dead but I can get it all out. The filter can't keep up and I'm rinsing it everyday (twice when I can) and vacuuming regularly and still cloudy. We have clarified, algaecided, double shocked and it's balanced. I'm honestly about to drian it and sell it.
Those cartridge filters are extremely frustrating. The sand filter changed everything for me.
What did you end up doing? And was the algae maybe on the walls and it wasn’t being removed?
Great video. Can you explain why you needed the 6 dollar pool connector. I thought the hose can connect directly to your intake. thanks
The inlet is smaller then the hose end, 👍
Hey do you set your sand filter to backwash when cleaning the pool I was doing it wrong k was letting my pump run normal while trying to clean it
I set mine to waste when I clean
Thanks for the video. One question, I see one end of the blue hose attached to the brush head… where is the other end attached? I thought it was supposed to attach to one of the inlet ports but it’s a white hose & the blue hose is going over the side…
I was wondering the same.
Yes the other end goes into one of the two small inlet ports using that white adapter 👍🏼
Thank you so much for posting this! I’ve been searching for years and ran up on this today!! Excellent video. I’ll be subscribing and watching the rest of your videos. I give this a 100%!!
I appreciate that comment very much. Comments like yours is exactly why I make these videos to help people
What if I don't have a filter and pump with a waste option? How do I use this?
I just have one question - we have basically the same pump, I think ours is the intex 16 inch sand filter. I can’t tell where you connected the vacuum hose to get it connected to the pump? We have been dealing with a “dead” (but always ready to bloom at the first opportunity) algae issue all summer that we cannot get rid of! There’s no bag that will filter that crud out. If you have any details about that I’d love to know! Thank you so much for making this video, it helped me figure out most of what I need!
I use the white hose adapter, which I will post below this comment. All I do is plug it in one of the inlet holes in a cover, the other Hole with the black plug that comes with the pool. 👍🏼

I really need to do this bc my robot vacuum keeps bringing up a lot of dirt (or something like it) And I can’t seem to get my Ph/alkalinity down bc of this. My problem is I can’t see the bottom bc of the cloudiness of the water. It’s blue but cloudy so I can’t see what I’m vacuuming. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. 🙏🏽
What is the tube called you put in your hose to hook it to your pump. Th piece that look’s about 6” and white

Hi, I’m in a mess. What if you only have the standard pool filter pump. How do you go about getting the dust out. I bought the same brush as you I just didn’t pay attention to you hooking it to anything.
Is yours a cartridge filter?
Do you have the link to the adapter that hooks to the vacuum hose?
Sure do www.amazon.com/dp/B093CG9C52/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_JK8E6F7BZ7G8WCGATAHF?linkCode=ml2&tag=llonate-20
Can you make a video explaining back wash and benefits of doing it
Great idea, I sure can 👍
Just uploaded a video on how to backwash and why 👍 hope it helps
I have question. We removed dead algae settling to bottom but again it keeping coming back every week. We have double shock then clears out.
We have Intex 2500GPH filter motor. It won't pull out all dead algae or debris even after running for 8 hours. We have couple trees near by so leaves fall in the pool.
Whenever you shock and add algae killer does to always settles yo bottom or it will get pulled out by Motor.
Even if motor pulls micro algae debris comes in to pool by inlet.
We tried to vaccum settled algae but we have to spend 1-2 hour / week. We do how much we can. Now it's just headache.
I didn't see same problem with my friend who has hard steel covered pool, they also have trees near by. There motor is powerful. We can't use same motor as pulse the walls if it's stronger. Any solution
Sounds like your pool is not chemically balanced. I would take a sample to the pool store.
I need hose extenders like you have too.
I found all of them on Amazon
Where does the other end of the hose attach to so that it will suck out the water
I bought the same vacuum head but I can’t figure out where to attach the other end
It goes in one of the inlet holes. Plug the hole for better suction
Cam you please do a video connect the stuff please?????
How do you connect the hose to the filter to use it as a vacuum cleaner?
I explain at the 2:40 minute mark
I did same set up, closed 1 port and I'm getting no sucking from the brush tip, I have the same intex filter, and put the option to waste, any tips?
Hmmmmmm every pump is different but very odd your not getting any suction. Did you do a backwash before you started
How do you actually get the water to start coming out onto the ground??
So if you want to get a rechargeable vacuum and not use one through your filter pump that's ok and will work the same or do I need both ? I'm a newbie
If you get a good rechargeable that you like and if it keeps the pool clean that’s all I would use. 👍🏼
@@LifeLessOrdinary thank you so much I am a newbie
My algae is like super glue stuck on there, help, I also don’t have a hose that will connect to the inlet to the pump. I have an Intex pump
My pool has 2 inlets to the pump, do I need to occlude one while I use this brush vacuum thing on the other?
I would plug one of the inlets and vacuum it up the best you can, On the waist setting
Will this work for a thick amount of algae, dead algae that is settled from the bottom of the pool? We are currently using a water hose to siphon, but it takes forever. We bought a vacuum, but it moves too fast and just stars of all the algae, anybody have any tips for this?
What is that little connector thing again ?
while you are vacuuming it is on waste correct? Do you have the vacuum hook to the pump or just the inlets?
Vacuum to the inlet which sucks to the pump and yes it’s on waste
What if I only have 3 sand filter settings? Backwash, rinse and filter.
Then your best bet is to try and siphon waste out, if you don’t have a waste setting
Where did you get the hose to attach to the waste side of the pump?
That’s hose I’ve had for several years now but they do make a backwash hose that you can find on Amazon 👍🏼
Do you close off the other outlet that pushes water back into the pool?
No you don’t have to, once it’s in waste setting it won’t go out that return
Do you have a video for your stairs and landing for your pool!
Actually I’m filming a video on the deck tomorrow it should be up either tomorrow night or Sunday 👍🏼
How do you vacuum to waste now that you added a H skimmer?
I cant find the link in the comments for the white hose adapter.. please share 😊
amzn.to/3Pq5eFv
Which port is the back of the hose hooked up to?
It goes into one of the two inlets. And cover the other one with the plug
Hi , My first time cleaning my pool. Already put shock, chlorinating liquid and also put 3 chlorine tablets in the floater thing.How can I backwash my pool with the DE filter? Thanks
I don’t believe those filters have a backwash option
@@LifeLessOrdinary oh okay .
So do you think the algae gets in the hose and can recontaminate the water
Sure it’s possible, stay on the chemical once you get it clean
Where is the link for hoses coming from the filter please

I can seem to show pictures on this but we don’t have the skimmer thing. If we disconnect the pump intakes then the pool will drain halfway down. So how do I connect the vacuum to the pump?
I’m not understanding what you’re saying. What type of pump and filter do you have. If you have a sand filter all you have to do is use one of the inlets for your vacuum and cover the other side
@@LifeLessOrdinary if I disconnect the inlets at the side the pool will want to drain out. We don’t have the skimmer thing on the side like you used. We were looking last night and decided to get one, so hopefully problem solved. Thanks for answering. And it is a sand filter.
It was all good, but where is the hose from the vacuum hooked? One end to the vaccum head and the other I see it's over the pool to somewhere?
Sorry about the confusion there. The hose goes into one of the pool Inlets while I cover the other one. The part I. The video you saw I didn’t have the vac hose hooked up 👍
@@LifeLessOrdinary Got it, 😃 thanks.
Where did you connect the hose from the vacuum?
Into one of the inlet ports
Thank you, this video helped us. I have 2 question...Did you add clarifier after you vacuumed to waste? ....I added water to my pool after I vacuumed to waste, should I shock my pool since I added water?
You have to watch my newest video it explains everything. Basically I had a cloudy issue after this video but now it’s super clear. And yes you can shock it after the water.
@@LifeLessOrdinary thank you, yes I watched both videos last night. I had floc and started the process. This morning it already looked 100 times better. We vacuumed to waste. I had been struggling to clear up our pool, I can see the bottom now. 👍👍👍
That is awesome 👍 nothing like seeing it get clear again lol
@@LifeLessOrdinary shock and water clarifier is not the same. Clarifier makes the coudy water clean by clinging to the small particulars and dropping then to the bottom of the pool to be vacuum. Shock sometimes has clarifier in it but not even close to actually pure clarifier.
I never said they were the same 👍🏼
I don't have have a Waste option. I have Filter, Backwash, Drain, Rinse, Circulate, Close options. Do you know what option I would use when vacuuming?
Hmmmmmm you might try using the backwash option. And see if it pulls enough suction
Thank you
I thought you said you hooked the waste end to the skimmer??? I need more info on the connections.
No I pull out the skimmer hose that’s going to one of the two ports, then close off the second port to make my section stronger
What chemicals do you add after you vacuum to waste to help with clarity?
I will be very honest I don’t have any chemicals other than chlorine tablets to my pool. I normally vacuum multiple times a week and backwash every few days.
What settings do you vaccum the pool on everytime I vaccum the dirty water comes out the the main spout right back into my pool,so vacuuming is pointless.
I always vacuum on waste option that way it goes out of the pool
@@LifeLessOrdinary thank you can you tell me which settings that is on the pump?
What kind of pump/filter are you using? It will only work with a sand filter pump, not a cartridge.
@@LifeLessOrdinary yes I have sand filter pump, I just vacuumed the pool nothing came back into the pool,but lost alot of water..Now I'm filling the pool back up
You will lose water, but it’s the only way to get small sand and small Particles out
So, I am some what confused. In this video, are you just showing us how it would work because I see the blue hose inside the pool and the other end outside but not connected to anything?? Or what should it be connected to?
Watch it again starting at 2:26 second mark of the video. One end of the hose goes to the vacuum head. The other end goes into the 9” white hose adapter which then goes into one of the inlet holes on the inside of the pool. Make sure your cover the other inlet hole for better suction. Key is you need a sand filter type pump not a cartridge type filter.
How did you hook up the hose to the skimmer?😊
The hose is put into one of the two inlet ports
On the inside of the pool? Video shows the hose hanging over the edge with the skimmer still hooked up
I don't understand how to do this if you have an automatic vacuum not a hand vacuum. I hooked it up to the skimmer basket outlet and the vacuum does nothing.
Automatic vacuum works differently
So water is pouring out of the waste the whole time you were vacuuming?
Correct, it works best to get your water level super high because you will lose a lot
Where do you connect the hose from the vacuum though?
Put that white adapter in the end of the hose and put it into one of the two inlet holes. And if you need stronger suction cover the second hole.
@@LifeLessOrdinary oh okay thank you!
Where is the link for this vacuum and hose
Hit the little down arrow under the video. I posted the links in the video description
Do you have a video of how to actually hook up the vacuum? I borrowed one from a friend but they didn’t know how to use it and didn’t give me the instructions with it
What type of vacuum is it
@@LifeLessOrdinary this exact same one in your video. I rewatched and sort of got an idea.
Yeah, it’s super easy. One part is the hook up your pole. Your hose goes on the top part in the other end of a hose goes to one of your Inlet holes. If your section isn’t very strong, cover the other Hole with the plug.
Where is the blue hose connected to????
Look at the 2:25 point in the video I explain. Use the white adapter on the end of the hose and put it into one of the inlet hose that the water goes into. Now to get better suction you need to close the other inlet with a plug. 👍🏼
How did you connect hose ?
I use this white hose adapter, which I will link below. I put it into one of the inlet holes and then the hose. And I also cover the other Hole with one of the small plugs that come with the pool for better section.

Do you have to a certain pump?
I use the Intex sand filter
Do I have to turn on the pump during vacuuming on waste?
Yes if you have a sand filter, when the pump is off turn it to waste and then turn the pump on and whatever it sucks up it will push out of the pump.
@@LifeLessOrdinary thank you for you help 🙏
I was looking how to get dead algae from bottom of pool. I notice your PVC connection on internet pool. Do you have video how that was done
Sure do I first did this czcams.com/video/-BKgySDisj4/video.html
Then added this czcams.com/video/St8HQxZ-YpI/video.html
What if you don’t have the waste option on your filter?
I would try to siphon using a small hose
Thank you so much for your video? We followed the steps and the one from your other cleaning pool video, but we are coming across an issue - we have little to zero auction. We made sure that everything was running good and not clogged. Do you have any suggestions?
Make sure there is no air in the vacuum line.
Make sure the pump has enough power to run a vacuum. A water house vacuum is 20 bucks and works great if you put some panty hose around the bag on it. Or a couple of old tube socks
You should make a video and put it on CZcams 👍🏼
@@nicholasflick8997 what is a “water house vacuum”?
Please show connection to inlet part of pool and hose I just don't get it...thank you
You can maybe understand it better in this video, czcams.com/video/kKeAUQzelao/video.html
How do you close the second port?
Your pool should have come with two hole covers, thts what I use.

Okay, so my question is, why doesn't my sand filter suck strong enough to even pull small bugs down to the filter? What am I doing wrong with this filter? For 2 years, it's never had a great suction. Someone told me to switch out the sand filter with a smaller filter. My skimmer barest doesn't even have a good suction like yours.
*basket
How old is it? 2 years ago I took mine apart and discovered lots of trash on the top part of the filter which was killing my suction. How often do you backwash?
Can you please show me how to set it up step by step I’m really struggling
Shoot me a email dirtpooroutdoors16@gmail.com
Does this work with a cartridge pump
Unfortunately no, those pumps don’t have a waste option
@@LifeLessOrdinary I have a cartridge pump and I need to vacuum badly! Do you know how I could possibly vacuum with my pump?
Shoot me a email Brittany, dirtpooroutdoors16@gmail.com
Do you lose a lot of water this way ?
I don’t lose as much as you would think. But thankfully I have a water well and most people don’t understand that. By doing it this way it kicks all of the dirt and debris completely out of the filter system and into the yard
What size of pool do you have?
18x52” deep
Wish you showed how you hooked it up
Which part? I can explain it for you 👍🏼
In the video, it looks like the hose is running right out of the pool. I thought it was supposed to attached to where the skimmer plugs into?
@amj8669 I should have showed it better lol. The hose goes into one of the two inlets inside the pool.
when I vacuums to waste, it blows it right back in my pool AND out the hose. WTF. Brand new filter too.
Something major wrong. Waste should go straight out the side of the pump
since the water is pumping out, why not just siphon it over the side?
I’m sure you can try that 👍
So where's the hose connected too.."out flow" ?
Connect it to one of the inlet holes, my pool has two. Then cover the other one to make the suction stronger. Put your sand filter on waste and turn on pump
We have been doing this method (before I saw this video) for an entire season last year and this year and it still doesn't work. After it settles from being cloudy, it looks the same all over again. Just ridiculous. We vacuum slow and to waste (losing more water) Adding water, running up the bill. We've used drop out, other flocculants and still looks like Algae in the pool at the bottom. Brushed it, vacuumed, shocked, you name it. Wake up and the crap is at the bottom again. Even disinfected all the tools in case any had algae on it too.
This video is just for basic maintenance, vacuuming alone will never fix cloudy or green pools. Have you done a water test, to check levels?
@@LifeLessOrdinary What is funny is we check our levels all of the time and everything seems to be fine We just can't get that crap out of the bottom of the pool lol. Our pool is not green at all It's clear and it turns cloudy when we vacuum and no matter how slowly we vacuum it ends up being cloudy and that stuff goes right back to the bottom of the pool. It's the weirdest thing.
I have no idea why that’s happening, I have a new filter now but even on the new one if I have it on waste it goes directly out of the filter.
@@LifeLessOrdinary I think next week we will probably have a professional pool person to come over and check it out and see what they say. Everything we have is new and we do vacuum to waste so it doesn't go through the filter. I'm glad your method is working for you and thank you so much for replying ...I appreciate that.
You are very welcome, I’m sorry your having so much trouble. I hope y’all get it figured out. 🙏🏼
My filter is just symbols on top. Which means waist?
What filter do you have? If you don’t have a waste option this won’t work for your pool
It works nicely but aren't you losing a lot of water this way? My pump is doing 250 liters per minute so that's 1 cubic meter in only 4 minutes. Overhere, water is quite expensive. I would advise you to investigate why you have algae in the first place so you will be able to prevent them. I have never had them in my pool. I only waste water with a backwash or when there is an awful lot of desert sand in the pool. Check your free chlorine, PH and make sure you filter at least 1 to 2 turnovers in 24 hrs. Good luck.
You are absolutely correct this method is not for everyone. I have a person water well so my water is free. But for those who have to pay for it, it’s not the smartest thing to do. Thank you for the comment
