Vacuums

Hand Vacuum

Skimmer Mount: TOP

Operation of Hand Vacuum:

Set up: The pool pole attaches to the vacuum head; the

head is attached to one of the skimmers by using a vacuum hose.

Make sure the vacuum hose you own is long enough to reach from the

skimmer to the furthest end of your pool. Adjusting skimmer valves not in use

with the vacuum may be needed for best results. Never vacuum through the

filter, always vacuum to waste.

Helpful Hint: If your pool has two skimmers, close the one not

supporting the vacuum one half turn to maximize your suction.

Suction Side

Skimmer Mount: FACE

Pressure Side Sweep: Separate Pump

If your pool has one skimmer only, vacuums such as Baracuda are not the

vacuum for your pool. If you have a DE filter, this is also not the vacuum for

your pool.

Robotic with Countdown Timer:

These DC voltage driven vacuums are the most expensive but arguably the

best. Blue Diamond, Aquabot, Tigershark, and Dolphin Shark are the proven

brands.

In-Floor and Pop-Up

In-Floor Cleaning Systems provide performance by systematically moving

heavy debris toward your pool's main drains, while suspending the light

debris, which are removed by the standard filtration process.

*hand vacuums may still be needed with other vacuum

types
