Man you may not know it but you did one of the best instruction videos for this vacuum cleaner on CZcams. You got a way to get right to the point. Awesome video. Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much!
Please help. My husband and I watch your videos all the time and we love them! I just purshased a Intex Xz 300 automatic vacuum. Can you hook it up to a Hayward skimmer? We only have the skimmer that the water goes through and comes out through waterfall only. Do you know best way to hook everything up?
That's a great tool! Definitely want to invest in one later on to make it easier to keep the pool clean. Thanks so much for the video!
Thank you for watching.
I’ve watched so many videos trying to understand this vacuum, this answered all my questions! Thank you sooo much 😊
happy swimming
Glad I could help.
Thank you so much! We were definitely confused with this vacuum and you explained everything great!
Glad I could help
Yes, seriously… you have been so much more helpful then most Intex videos. I have had the same pool for 4 years and NEVER thought to use those couplers. Where can I find them, that could be a game changer?! Thanks!
Also, I noticed you have a skimmer on the side and still have your pool filled to the brim. How did you do that and what skimmer did you buy? Teach me your waysss! 😆
The couplers i think your talking about come with the vacuum. I also did a video on the installing the skimmer. You can search my channel for it.
Ok thanks, when I bought the vacuum it didn’t come with couplers so it always gets tangled up. I’ll keep looking for them. Thanks for the reply, I’ll try and find your skimmer video.
The best video I have seen!!
Burning in the sun and you just saved us hours of frustration, thank you so much: )
No problem!
Another great job!
I liked it a lot and very good material.
Thank you for this video! I was over thinking where to hook it up!
No problem
I didn’t see where it hooks up on the outside of the pool
I wanted to thank you for your generator hookup to home video. Comments are set to off but wanted to say great video 👍
Thank you
Thank you for your video I really appreciate it
Thanks for watching.
Great review... tnks bro
Audio is awesome!
Thanks!
Thanks very informative
Thanks!
A couple of questions. (1) The bottom of our pool, an 18' round, we tried our best when setting it up to get out most of the wrinkles out but there are still a few... how does it perform over small ones? and (2) I have a 2800 GPH sand filter pump, I'm thinking there will be no issues; however, I thought I'd ask anyway if this will supply enough suction for the vacuum to work? A very informative and helpful video! :)
Can you make a video/s on pool maintenance of this pool? Opening, closing of the pool, everyday maintenance, testing, chemicals etc.
You have explained it perfectly!! Thank you, Cory! I really appreciate this video. I am getting this same pool up next spring and getting all my parts and pieces together now. We can work on the ground when its not so hot outside! One question: When you upgraded to the 3000 GPH 3/4HP pump, did you have to also buy the saltwater converter part again too? Again, thank you so much for your videos. They are great!
No, this one had the salt system built into the pump. But the anodes were missing. So I used mine from my unit that quite working. Thanks for watching!
@@EverydayMan Awesome! Thank you for the explanation.
My vacuum goes really fast then hits a wall and stays there. Now only wait a few minutes and get impatient. Should I just leave it alone for the whole pump cycle? Thanks for the video.
I just subscribed to your channel a couple of weeks ago. We've been using Intex pools about 9 years now. The grandchildren are bigger which means bigger pool this year. We just ordered the exact same as yours. We'll be starting out with the basic Krystal Klear sand filter that comes with the pool. Any chance you could do a pool "chemistry" video...or maybe just advise on what your method and products are to keep the water sparkling? Thanks for all the great information you share.
I only use salt in it. I wish I could tell u something more. Thanks for watching!
My intex pool cleaner came with a super skinny hose. Is there and attachment so it will fit and work with a 2" hose?
I'm not sure, my sweeper came with all the correct fittings for the intex connections. You may have to do some measuring and get an adapter.
Hey Corey! Another good one. I wish my little pump would push a vacuum like that. I have the little Intex with the paper filter. But I guess my pool is small enough I can manage without it. It's neat seeing how the thing works!
I know you all don't have much of a winter down in the big easy and south, but do you take it down or close it up in the winter months?
Thanks!
No, I keep mine running year round.
@@EverydayMan I'll be in a warmer climate and will be able to say the same thing...... One of these days......... (I dislike Missouri winters)
We just came off 7days of not getting above freezing in NE Louisiana. Lows were around15 degrees. Luckily no busted lines or fittings with a salt pool just like Corey’s. Lol, had about six inches of sleet/snow on top.
@@lacoach86 I live up in St Louis. It's been bad weather. Glad you fared well!
Is there an adapter option to hook the intek vacuum to a non intek pool wall return fitting?
I would guess you could put something together at the hardware store.
Do you put the sand filter on waste or on the filter?
Filter
What do you set your pump on when you are vacuuming, is there a vacuum setting?
No, just keep it on filter.
Hello. I love your videos. Was just wondering how you plugged up the inlet holes in the pool, since you are not using them?
The pool came with 2 black rubber plugs. If you don't have them you could make some with pvc pipe and some hoseclamps.
@@EverydayMan you just stick them in the hole and it doesn’t leak?
@@rosegustafson3367 yup, I pull mine out to drain the pool when it gets to full.
Hello
First off let me start by saying I love your videos. They have helped me so much with putting my pool together. The problem I'm having is when I run my vacuum I get a low airflow reading. Do you know how to solve this problem?? If so could you please message me back on how to fix it or make a video???
I'm sure you mean low flow not airflow. That being said you need at least a 1600gph pump to run the vacuum. If it's too small it may be the issue.
How would you hook this up if I have a angle outlet. One that you can point the outlet water in different directions.
Unscrew it from the outlet.
@@EverydayMan it’s the angle inlet valve. Doesn’t look like you can unscrew it and remove that angle eye. Do you know much about that valve?
I just got mine but it’s not screwing on the outlet. It keeps popping off. I have a 14 ft summer waves elite.
It's an intex product and I am unfamiliar with summer waves, I don't think I'll be mich help.
Idk what “pump” you mean to turn on. Are you talking about the filter that came with the pool? 👍🏻
Yes
Hey man I got this vacuum and hooked it all up, but it seems to not be working. All it does is stir all the debris up and then they just float back down. What could I have done wrong?
I wouldn't know where to start. Is it hooked up right? Is the pump working right?
Yeah I have no idea. It’s moving around and all like it’s supposed to it’s just not sucking anything up. Just stirring everything up.
I’m wanting the skimmer you have. I bought welcome Hayward one and I’m going to return it because I realize that we are going to loose about 3-4 inches of water. I see that your pool is full with the one u have:
I mounted it as high as I could.
What kind do you have? The name brand and where did u get it?
@@marandatrahan9460 Skimmer

I see your video now! thanks u very much for the info! Love your videos!!
I see your video now! thanks u very much for the info! Love your videos!!
Hi. I just got this vacuum a few days ago. I hady above ground pool put in back in March of this year. I can not take the cover off my out take. Im scared I will mess it up. How can I remove it. Also I only have one long hose.
A big channel lock will get it off.
@@EverydayMan thanks I did consider to use that but didn't want to hurt the liner
@@kerribaxter3891 yeah, be careful with it.
which model vacuum is this?
I have the link to it in the description if you would like to check it out.
Can you connected to a bestway pool
I've never had a best way pool, so I cannot say for sure. Bit fitting can usually be found at your local hardware store.
If you don't have a big enough pump, go get a submersible sump pump it really pushes my vacuum around really well . I never use my pool pump anymore.
Good idea!
Where can i buy that hose? Any link?
No link. I just use the one that can with it.
Mine didn’t come with any of those hose things. I only have one long hose
Sounds simple
We love ours but yesterday we ran it and it started coming up to the top and shooting water everywhere like a whale then going back down lol any idea what that could be??
Yes, clean the screen and backwash your pump. It's a little low on power.
Whaaaat do u put the filter onnnn? Nobody is answering my question !!! In any of these videos
Run it as you would normally. Put it on filter
See I have mine hooked up the way you do but the video before you says to hook to the other outlets
Has to be on the discharge side of your filter.
I don’t know how obsessive you are with your pool, like I am haha, but if you want 10x the flow of your water, get rid of all those flex hoses for your pump. Hard pipe your system with 1.5” pvc, it’s insane how much better your water flow is. Also grease your wheels, one is hanging up like mine did when the bearings started going bad
Good info, thanks!!
What did you use to hard pipe connect to all the inlets and out lets?
@@angelaclooney4001 look up hard piping and intex swimming pool on here, he’ll show you how to make the adapters, you basically take the hoses you currently use and cut the ends off and use another adapter to make it. You’ll understand better when you watch the video
When I connected it, it began to liquidate the pump in a place that it never did.
I'm not sure what you mean.
@@EverydayMan my pump is made of sand and salt and through one of the threads where it does the process of converting salt into chlorine when the vacuum is turned on it starts to release water, when I disconnect it it stops releasing water
@@hendricksperez1218 the threads are leaking. When you put the pressure of the vacuum on it, it leaks bad enough to see it. You need to fix the leak.
You ought to do a whole lot of instruction videos for tons of other tools and stuff so it won't be a waste of your gift.
Thanks! I do a few how to videos and reviews.
@@EverydayMan and fortunately I checked them out after my comment and man wasn't it the exact opposite of wasting time! Brilliant work. Live long brother!
@@pvenoob thank you!
Vacumpool
Do you put the sand filter on waste or on the filter?
Filter
