Vacuuming through Skimmer

by yeomad » Mon 07 May, 2007 19:55

First post

I don't seem to be getting much suction when I Vacuum through my skimmer. I don't know if I am following the right procedure? :!:

Make sure all other suction valves are closed off, if you need to close other skimmers of use a tennis ball.

Install pipe for vacuum

by bustrbyte » Tue 06 Mar, 2007 15:41

First post

I am having my pool re-done with diamondbrite. I have never had a pool vacuum. Should I have a pipe installed in the side of the pool for the vacuum?

Last post

Yes.

Always better to have a pipe you don't use, than not have one you need.
