Questions & Answers

There are some holes in the bag and dirt seeps through. What is the best place to get a new ?

A Langerie or delicates laundry bag did the job. This bag is much better than the one that came with it.

By connecting the pool vacuum to a hose, how do I vacuum it?

Redirecting the water to exit through the catch net allows it to exit through the hose. Any dirt, sand, or other matter in the moving water will be forced into the catch net as a result of the pressure. In basic terms, it does what a vacuum does, so calling it a vacuum is a misnomer. A deep cleaning of the bottom of the pool is accomplished well by the cleaner.

What happens if my 600-gph pump is attached to this vacuum?

A vacuum like this does not rely on a There is no pump, electricity or battery involved in its operation. The bag can be emptied with the help of a standard garden hose, and debris will be pushed into the bag by water pressure. This product has all these advantages, which is why I love it. As well, it works better with the help of a bag that is well known and crafted by Handy, who has a great Amazon review. Let me know what you need and I will send you the instructions and pictures. Now that the pictures are on Amazon, I believe they are also on that site.

A great item to have if you live in a dusty windy region like Arizona! Thanks for visiting! Just wanted to try and help fellow Amazon buyers
5/5

I'm a short and to-the-point kind of guy. Here is the Here are a few points from Little Chic I am 42 and live alone, and I bought this because everything I have purchased for 3 times the price is crap - including the "shark. ". When I got this in one day, I couldn't believe it. And believe me when I say I read the reviews you guys leave on here as well, so I'm trying to help There wasn't a lot of time spent trying to make something since I simply stuffed 3 socks inside one another and bunged it up. It was just a matter of cording it on and going! In Arizona, it's PERFECT HELL the tiniest dust blows back into the air within an hour with the winds here. . . and look at that It's very important to take things very slowly. . . spent two hours on this and I'm not even halfway through but look how much difference there is already! I get that kind of life when I live near a neighborhood that has a tree hanging over my pool. Anything from bugs to dust, tree seeds to grass seed to bird feathers has been found in my pool, yet for such a ridiculously low price, this vacuum You can't believe what you told me. Be sure not to turn your water on too hard because you will blow all the dust and bugs We used socks to catch dust as you cannot use a mesh or pantyhose to catch it. You could use the bag it comes with if you don't live in an area that is dusty, but you may want to bungy it or use an exhaust clamp if you live in a dusty area. Thank you! I hope you found this helpful!.

You can get a lot of bang for your buck if you have a small pool! Reviewing has not always been a part of my daily habit, but this maintenance kit made me feel compelled to do so
5/5

Although initially very skeptical, I ultimately tried it after seeing an amazing price point compared to even just buying a skimmer net at a pool supply shop. It cost less than that to buy this kit as a whole. A 10' by 30" Intex pool was given to us by friends when they upgraded their pool set up. Since there are so many trees around, the pool stays relatively cool (which is a good thing) but there are always pieces of tree debris that fall I skimmed the surface of the area as I didn't want my kids to come in contact with all that rubbish. In spite of this, there continued to be buildup on the pool floor. It never occurred to me that there was a cleaning kit for it until I discovered this one. This works much better than I imagined. It only takes a few minutes to clean the entire bottom. This vacuum was able to work very well due to our high water pressure. As an added bonus, you will be able to top-off your pool water level at the same time, as the excess water will simply be poured in. I was able to catch everything well with the net. Despite being able to pull through the water easily, the skimmer net still captures everything well. It can be difficult to pull some nets through the water because they are too fine. I don't see a problem with that. This would be a good option if you do not have access to a filter vacuum and you have a small pool.

Is it really true that a sock is a sock? Intex supplied me with a skimmer as part of the pool package
4/5

It's a waste to buy more than one vacuum, but Intex won't let me buy just the vacuum for my size pool, no matter how much it costs. This is the first vacuum I have owned that I have read a lot of reviews about. A wide range of reviews were posted. According to my research, vacuums work best when the water pressure is high (60 psi or more) and filters are good. It was suggested that you use three socks and the flimsy filter bag Intex provides. After a few seconds, I decided that was excessive and tried one wool dress sock instead. As soon as I put it into the filter bag provided by Intex, it worked perfectly. As soon as you're done, turn the sock inside out and run it under strong water pressure for a few seconds. Hang it somewhere to dry. The entire summer I had her working for me.

5/5

My best wishes to you and your pool cleaner so that you may enjoy many clean pool days in the future. Whenever you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. We are now going to get back to your regularly scheduled review realize that sometimes you can't expect too much for $20 dollars, but rather than restate what I already mentioned I thought I would give some tips and explanations. The pole should come first. While it is telescopic and made for a smaller pool, it seems to be very well made and does not bend when used. The next step was to connect to the internet. The net is flat with no give in the middle for catching things, which at first I thought would be a problem for me. I started using it to see what it was like, but found this to be even more efficient. Despite its small size, it is very effective in catching It has a small net which is easy to get rid of when you empty it, so you don't have to fiddle when you deplete it. The material just falls off as you turn it over and bounce the pole over your hand.
We now proceed to the assembly of the vacuum head. It is a very well-made head that will last for a very long time if properly cared for. With the nozzle pointed at 90 degrees to the net, it blasted water through it and created a noticeable vacuum from the bottom that swept up most objects that got in its path. In addition to the brushes and wheels, the cleaning device has a small brush and an incline. And if I lived somewhere where all I needed to vacuum were a few bugs and leaves, then I wouldn't have to vacuum anything at all. However, I did get fine dust on the floor of my pool even when I lived in WA. Now that I live in the desert, where fine dust is a way of life, this internet does not work.
I thought to myself, well I will just make a better catching bag since I am such a creative guy. As I had a few extra Micro fiber towels, I decided to sew one up in the same configuration as the net and see how it turned out. Well, after a good cleaning, it would seem I had achieved my goal. Sadly, we were not able to achieve our goals. About an hour later, I looked to see, and all that fine dust was sitting on the bottom of the pool once As a result, I went back to the drawing board once more, and came up with the perfect design When I was a young fish tank enthusiast we used fine flax as filter material, so I thought, hey, maybe this will work too. Using an old tube 2" long the same size as the output of the vacuum head, I stuffed it in the center of the forward bag in order to force the water to travel up the bag before it get to the media to be filtered, then I vacuumed. In 2 hours, I had a perfectly clean pool without dust left behind. Once that was done, I put a little clip on the pole to hold the bag in place. I find it pretty funny how it looks like an old Kirby vacuum bag when it's working. With that said, I now have a great pool vacuum and enough filter media to last me through it is easy to keep buying pillows whenever I need more, it costs me $ 6 bucks We live in a wonderful world.
