I always wanted a pool my whole life and finally got one now that I’m retired, I don’t know the first thing about a pool but I’m learning, my kids just bought this sweeper for me so thanks for the video
I don't care if I don't have a pool, this tool is awesome!
Thanks! I'm buying one now from Amazon
Ça m'a beaucoup aider, merci!😃
I have the same vacuum and I love it!
Thank you for this video it was very helpful for my husband and I.
Very very good video. Thx for posting!!!🥳
Thank you for the clear video
Thank you for the video! We bought a house with a pool, and I tried several times last year to use a similar vacuum, but never got it to work, and there were no instructions on how to use it. Now that I know what needs to be hooked up, I'm going to get my pool vacuumed out today!
Thank you so much for sharing !
Biggest bang for the buck Works as good as vacuums costing more!!! This vacuum works as advertised, set-up and installation was easy, just follow directions. Purchased and added 2 lengths of hose to reach the far end. Roams around randomly, up and down walls and bottom and eventually cleans all areas. I recommend installing a leaf basket on the hose to prevent big debris from getting sucked into the piping and the pump skimmer basket. I wouldn't want something getting caught in the underground pipes.
Good video. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! :)
Nice I just got a pool and got a similar cleaner like this installed..
Thank you for the info. I also have this cleaning system, just waiting for my skimmer to come in.
You don't have to have skimmer
Your ladder is called stairs. LOL
I just purchased this vac, I thought the clicking noise meant something was wrong. Used it for the first time yesterday. I like it.
@kushbandit8701 what is the vac called? Getting a pool installed tomorrow
I bought this same one a couple months ago but have not been using is correctly. Thank you for showing the correct way I'm excited to try it today
Great, I hope you start to enjoy it now!
@@easyclearpool my pump water goes really low should this happen?
Mine kept getting stuck so I attached a ring floaty to it and it works really well now
Mine got stuck continuously right where you show at the steps. I came home to an empty pool as it got stuck at the stairs, cocked up and ripped a huge hole through the liner floor. I went back to Wanda the Whale. Oh yeh, the click-a-click-a-clack can be heard for a long way off as the pool walls will amplify the noise. My neighbors were elated when I got rid of that PO crap.
Dude my sister gave me 1 works great
I use a different type of cleaner for my above ground pool but it used to get stuck behind that ladder same design that I have. So I bought two liquid chlorine bottles filled with sand and put them in that little opening behind the ladder no more issues with that.
Hi there, see the bits in your pool .. I had the pool cleaned with a very expansive vacuum the pool maintenance people gave me because I claimed they didn't clean the pool properly ... but sadly for some reason those bits appeared again ... any idea why or what they are?
thank you :)
I assume that will not work with the stock filter pumps that a 16 x 10 pool would come with?
I have an above ground pool with a SandPro 75D which is 3/4 hp and I do not have a skimmer. I tried directly connecting it to the pump but nothing is happening.
WHOOPEE
Will it climb walls? Can you use it manual against walls if not? Thanks
Yes what do u set the settings on please
How you connect this to a Coleman 48x18? I bought this vacuum but having some problems to connect if you can help me please thanks
how do u install it into the skimmer
How long do you have to run your pump to clean your pool? I wonder because it seems like a manual pole and cleaner will work much faster but, I guess it's fast vs. No manual work.
If the sweeper gets stuck, what good is it. My sweeper runs all day.
Need to get your pool water sorted.
Doesn't that silt at the bottom of the pool just go through the filter?
How does it get clean everywhere?
Hello Berry,
Please be so kind and tell me which position you choose on your pump when you connect this device?
I'm asking for Sand Filters Pumps where I think that you have de following option:
1) Filter mode but on this case all your debris and rests from your pool will block your pump or will reduce the filter performance if you dont clean it with "Backwash" mode and later "Rinse".
2) "Recirculation" mode but on this case you wipl have better vacuum but on the other hand some small debries might return or your pool because the water doesn't go through your sand filter.
3) "Waste" mode, i didn't use it but I think that vacuum could be ok but you will lose a quantity of water because all waste goes out.
So which mode is better for a proper vacuum and good clean? Especially for green water wit algae on it?
Thank you and regards!
Filter mode where u have it when u run the pool. The others will shoot water out of the pool. The sand filter is made to catch dirt and debris and I don't have to back wash after every use.
Thank you for the video! We just purchased our vacuum, not sure where to put the weights you mentioned, we have an 8ft deep in-ground pool, any advice would help! The manual is kind of trash
You will have to play with it a little bit, one weight is about 6 to 10 inches from the vacuum and the other closer to the top of the water.
How do you clean under your ladder?
Should the water in my pump go low? It scared me that my pump would blow up
Will it remove algae sediment from the bottom of the pool?
How do I install the cleaner yo an Intex above pool frame pool?
What a great video, thanks for that. What kind of skimmer do you have? Did you purchase it from Amazon? Thanks
Thanks! It is just a standard Hayward Pool Skimmer I bought at a local pool store, but Amazon might have a similar one as well.
@@easyclearpool Thank you!
When you turn your pump on what do you turn it on
Love the video, totally understood but what if I don’t have a skimmer? 😱
I am on the same boat I don't have a skimmer. I have a bestway pool. Idk where nor how to connect it. Please help.
@@lazaromarrero9651 czcams.com/video/C3twsEJfsVw/video.html
How do I see reply's from you I have the same one but not the end part
I’m two months late but I’m about to use mine for the first time. I have a sand filter pump, do I need to put it on waste? Or leave it on filter while using the vacuum? Thank you so much 😊
Filter Mode.
Where do u buy the white piece that goes on the basket what is it called I need that can't see on amazon
What do u set your pump on
Is the pump on high or low?
I just purchased this. It worked great for a few minutes but then kinda stopped. I'm wondering if my pump is strong enough? I have a 12 x 24 Summer Waves with a 110/120V filter pump. I'm thinking that's the issue.
Yes, you need at least a 3/4 HP pump and I believe that one probably is not.
Great video! Where did you get the ladder?
Hi! I bought the ladder from a local pool store called Country Leisure in Moore, OK. You can probably find one similar at any local pool outfit near you.
No one is answering the question of the pump losing prime when vacuum is connected. Air gets in and the gauge reads 9 and the hoses are trembling. What’s the remedy for that?
I have an above ground pool but can't keep my skimmer basket from floating up, no matter how tight I get it
They are supposed to float up just above the surface. You can try tilting it to one side like i do
What setting do you have your filter? Are you filtering it back into pool?
Have it on filter mode, the pool filter catches the debris.
I don't have a skimmer my pool is a $ 500 Walmart pool the pump is small and just has a filter 2 suction hoses pull that run to the filter the blows water back in. For this type of pool will this work at all?
The pump may not have enough suction for it to work correctly.
Just purchased, how long would you say it takes to vacuum your entire pool?
Usually at least a couple hours. Give it a full morning or evening about once a week to roam across the pool.
Does it suck up the sand that’s on the pool floor ? Cause I brought one but it just sucks the leaves and the sand just moves but doesn’t pick it up
It does, however it can swirl some away as it's making its pass disturbing the sand.
I have a Coleman 24 round pool above ground it has 2 inlets for where the water goes into the pump and then the return into the pool. where would I hook it up and will it work. My wife ordered this and it said for both but box only says inground. I tried to hook up today and it would not move.
Is your pool pump powerful enough? Needs to be at least 3/4 HP.
@@easyclearpool it is the Intex 2500gph pump I can't find hp on it
Will it work with the pump that the Summer Escapes pools come with
Hi Carmen, while the connection for the hoses will fit, the size of the pump that came with the Summer Escape pool is probably not powerful enough to work properly. However if you have upgraded the pump to at least a 3/4 HP pump, it will work with your that style of pool.
Hi East Clear Pool, I have a summer waves pump of .16 HP, how much do I need of HP for it to work?
We have a few creases on the bottom of our pool. Will this get stuck on them? Its so hard to get all the creases out
No, that will not affect it.
@@easyclearpool thank you so much. I have the hayward diver dave but he always gets stuck. I'm going to try this one. Thanks again :)
Mine never wants to start when I turn the pool on. Have any ideas how I could fix that
Sounds like it is not getting enough suction. Clean filter or backwash and clean the skimmer to see if that helps.
Berry's Pool ok thanks!
I have a Hayward pool do you know anything about them? I’ve had issues every year with getting the strainer basket lid off. I’ve changed it 3 times and changed and lubed the O-ring every time. But the way it is made I have to break it to get it off to clean the basket. The pool is 7 yrs old, I know it has to have suction but the setup, the way it locks it’s impossible to get off. The man next door tried getting it off and it won’t budge. I had a pool man change it this year but it will not come off. The lid locks on and supposedly you can put pressure on it and turn it, well that is impossible. I’m wondering if I could find a different type of lid? Anyone have any suggestions? The part number is SPX1500D2A.
Same problem here and I have some seriously strong brothers..still wouldn’t budge. It was never this was until about 5 years ago so I’m thinking changed with the way it was manufactured.
Can you help me I’ve done everything like you did but it isn’t moving across pool floor. I’ve backwashes Any suggestions?
Have you made sure all skimmer baskets are clean and not too clogged as well as the hoses aren't full of air - hose may may need primed with water?
Adjust pressure?
Link not working
I actually got it put together and it worked yesterday but not working today?? I’m lost lol
I forgot to add that it was the pool! I had to get lid off of sand skimmer and once I did it works like a charm! I’m thrilled I purchased it!
Hi! I know this video is from a month ago!
One minute the vacuum wants to clean great and then it randomly stops working and the hoses are moving from skimmer as if its working.... any ideas on how to fix it? Or the problem?!
Is sounds like either the filter or skimmer is possibly getting full and needs cleaned while it is working. Have you also checked to see if the vacuum head may have gotten clogged during this? Lastly make sure the hose is well attached and no air is getting into the pump filtration. Not sure, but this is where I would start to look. Good luck!
It vacuums great but it’s blowing dirt clouds back into the pool from the return in the pool. It’s making the water cloudy. How do I fix that please!!!
Either your filter needs cleaning or there is more dirt on the bottom can it can handle. In this case you could either try and slow down the vacuuming or if you have a Waste option on your pool, you can use it while vacuuming so that the dirt is sent straight out of the pool and bypasses the filter.
Berry's Pool thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate it. I’m new at this . I don’t have a sand filter just a stock filter for a summer waves pool. I will try everything. Thanks again!😊🙏
What is the name this vacuum?
Mine doesn’t vacuum the whole pool. It keeps going in the same path cleaning only about half of the pool. Any ideas?
Changing the hose length and direction the water return flows back in the pool are a couple ways to get different results.
I have a polygroup pump with filter that is 0.16 hp....would this vacuum work on my pump?
No, you need at least .75 HP pump, otherwise it most likely will not work.
Berry's Pool ok thank you
will it still work with a lower hp pump?
Minimum HP required is 3/4, but recommends 1 HP+.
I just received the extreme us power vacuum from Amazon. But it says for in ground pools? I have a 28 ft round above ground pool, it also says it requires a 3/4 horsepower pump? Mine is only 1.5 horsepower so I’m thinking I might have to send it back? Will it work for my pool?? Help
1.5 HP is twice as strong as 3/4 HP
Your pump is plenty powerful. You should be able to use it.
Thanks can you tell I have no clue about mechanics! I left it in the box to send it back to Amazon. So now when it warms up enough I’ll open it and hopefully get it put together! Thanks so much! I really appreciate the information!
I have a summer waves pool, it uses an A or C type filter. Would I connect the vaccum int the hole in the filter?
on a 2 speed pump, should i run it on high or low speed?
It would be best to use the low speed and only turn it on high if you're not seeing effective vacuuming.
Can I know if you turn the pump back wash or just regular, you did not tell us
Stays in filter mode while cleaning.
@@easyclearpool thank you 😊
How do you figure out where to put the weights. Mine won’t lay flat on the bottom 14:05
Placing one just slightly above the vacuum and another toward the top of your water. You might have to adjust them differently based on your water levels.
Does it get stuck in low spots or pits in the bottom?
It can get stuck at times, but for the most part doesn't have a major issue with it.
Off topic... where did you find your steps?
I picked mine up at local pool store outlet had them. You can find similar ones online as well.
Can this clog the filter? I mean if enough debris is collected?
If your pool is very dirty it can max out your filter. Fir bigger debris make sure a skimmer collects it before reaching the pump and filter.
You can add a leaf catcher in line with the hose. The canister will catch the debris such that only the finest particles reach the filter. Highly recommended
Will it work on leaves at the bottom of the pool well?
Yes it can it grab leaves off the bottom as well.
@@easyclearpool Thanks, i just ordered one, and not through amazon since I hate amazon.
@@redicebluefire2552 Amazon offers an extended warranty for 2 years. These cleaners only last about that long so you get free replacement
Is it on the backwash position ? Someone please
Filter mode
What is the name of this pump maybe I bought a piece of crap
Does anybody have any suggestions for me? I'm a new pool owner and I inherited one of these several months back. It worked great at first and was loving it. Then I had to leave town for work for a month and my pool turned into a mess with all sorts of algae growing in it. I hired a pool cleaner and drained out my pool and got it all cleaned out with new water but now the sweeper doesn't move nearly as well like it used to. I was told to just buy a new and I did. Bought the same exact model and everything but same issues. Doesn't run as smoothly as before. It cleans still but just moves really slow and it doesn't make that tapping noise as before. Anybody have any ideas on what I can do?
Make sure your filter is clean. A dirty filter could be reducing water flow pressure. Less pressure will affect how well the suction is.
@@easyclearpool Got it thanks!
What brand of pool ladder is that
Confer Plastics
Is it able to get the algae on the walls?
Yes, but it stays on the bottom the majority of time time. When it climbs it will clean the walls.
@@easyclearpool Thanks for your reply. My biggest concern is the algae on the walls so if this is able to get the wall algae, I'm willing to give it a try.
Did it work on your walls?
Mine sounds like click.click..2 seconds.. click click. What do you think is the issue?
Your pump suction is insufficient
Can someone tell me how to get the suction to be stronger because it isn’t pulling like the videos show
HELPPP!!!!😩😩 PLEASE!!!!🙏🙏 I just purchased this from Amazon.. I have an 18ft above ground, vinyl pool from Coleman!! When I ordered, it said it was for both Inground & Above Ground pools.. but, the directions are NOT CLEAR OR USEFUL AT ALL!!! WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO HOOK IT UP TO OUR POOL... PLEASE HELPPPP!!!!!
The hoses simply plug together and you connect the hose to the inlet of your pool.
@@easyclearpool Whats the inlet? Im goin crazy trying to figure this out
Watch the video...he shows exactly what to do.
What is the vac called?
It is called Xtreme Power US Vacuum
Is that algae on the bottom of the pool?
Mostly was dirt and other sediments, but wouldn't rule out some algae was present although there are no signs of any elsewhere.
I can’t seem to get it to work I have no skimmer
Your pool should have an inlet that pools water into the pump. Usually you can hook it up to that to get the suction started.
If that second hose has another suction point you would need to plug it off for the vacuum to work.
you need to let some water out of ur pool bcause its filled the skimer up
Man.. it would be funny as hell if Everytime you put the camera into the water.. you gargled with water and kept talking.. then take camera out and talk normal.. Loooool! 😁
Maybe I will in a future video, you never know 😂
I can't get mine to.work might just be my pump
Pump may not be strong enough, recommend 3/4 horse power. Also sometimes by cleaning the filtration system it will help improve performance and suction.
Where does that trash go or sand
Into the filter until cleaned.
Maybe my pool is not as expensive as yours
Pump runs out of prime no water pump running dry.
It runs in a whipping motion going over the same path every time. Not great.
Give it some time. I find it works best with calm water. Try changing your water return direction. I also remove the blue bumper on the back for best results.
I have this same problem, it goes in a swirly pattern, seems to not get lots of parts of the pool? Any thoughts or ideas?
No one is answering the question of the pump losing prime when vacuum is connected. Air gets in and the gauge reads 9 and the hoses are trembling. What’s the remedy for that?
