Bestway Pool Vacuum: Costco Pool Vacuum Setup

[@charleneblack2792]

Oh my God. After 50 thousand videos, I FINALLY found one that explains how to use this vacuum. THANK YOU!! Thank you for creating a video to show how easy it is. Others make it too complicated or leave out important details.

[@carolinadelatorre1913]

Same! 😂

[@leahnunes1128]

Your Costco pool videos are SO helpful! Especially since the pool itself came with hardly any directions.

[@lanz637]

Bless You! You provided great information and tips. No one ever told me about the value of using the plug in the second intake to increase the suction. Bleeding the air out of the filter pump is also a really good tip. And the advice about not lifting the vacuum out the pool is solid gold. The dude who suggested using the outflow to get rid of air on the vacuum hose line.. That's genius! I'm now encouraged to take another stab at vacuum cleaning my pool. Thanks!

[@Mumumama205]

Thanks for the video, very clear and to the point.Just an idea, I let my kids walk circles in the pool before they get out. That way the water will start spinning and when it calms down, all the debris is in a pile in the middle :)

[@JeepSolid]

That's a good idea.

[@mrfixitusa6165]

Yep! It's the "last thing before you get out" game. 😁

[@angeliclike3623]

The whirlpool! Yesssss

[@MikaelS11]

Thanks for this! Way more explanatory than Bestway's own promotional videos.

[@nathanopie3801]

Thank you for the videos as the instructions are limited! I wanted to add a helpful hint. After you have placed the suction hose in the pool, turn the pump on(before attaching it to the wall) hold the free end of it up to the pool return for a minute and it will blow any remaining air in the hose out the the end of the sweep head instead of sucking it into your pump and filter and possibly losing prime! Works excellent. I will try and post some other things I've learned and came up with as well. Thanks again.

[@gr8fulmatt326]

I watched your video of setting up my Bestway pool prior to putting my own up. It helped me a thousand times. And now I have watch this video and am on my way to purchase a vacuum. Thank you so much for these videos they have been a huge help as the instructions are an absolute joke

[@TheMaikeld]

The First Video that shows how to set up this thing! Great Guy!

[@isabelfulton7893]

Best video, you get to the point without a lot of blah blah blah. My flow clear came with 0 instructions, I was trying to use pictures on the box to set it up.

[@sweetdarkchocolate5248]

This is the best video i've run across while trying to figure out how to set up my vacuum Thanks

[@leeannlortie7299]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I am a visual person and this helped so much!!!!

[@brianbrandsma8853]

You're the last true family man! Thanks, have watched your 3 videos on the pool numerous times in my 5 days of pool ownership. Considering buying a jeep just for your other videos :)

[@JeepSolid]

Haha! Thank you. You should buy a Jeep! They're a lot of fun!!

[@ziggiedobe.]

Indeed this video is veeeery helpful, although as an apprentice myself I think I'm going to look for something less complicated. Thank you very much, excellent presentation, the troubleshooting is very appreciated, you stick to the DETAIL and THIS makes the TRUE DIFFERENCE from all the rest unboxing videos.

[@nailedbydebra4617]

Thank you for this video! This has been the best video for this pool! You have helped me a lot!

[@cram93fr]

Can you show us how you maintain your pool? in terms of what chemicals you use

[@wayneheightchew2496]

Thank you. Just installed my new above ground pool and had no idea how to hook up a vacuum. You have answered many questions.

[@trishc9200]

Thanks. Watching from New Zealand and cleaning the pool as we come into summer. Very helpful thanks.

[@ralaci007]

I love you man. One of the most useful videos I have seen this year. We totally hooked-up the vacuum the wrong way and it did not work.

[@audreymachado9297]

I'm new to having an above ground pool and I know it's probably dumb but I had no idea how the vaccum would work. Now I know I can get one and keep my pool clean and in great condition. Thank you so much for the great demonstration and explination.

[@JeepSolid]

Glad it helped! Also check out my video on getting pool ready for summer. I demonstrate a brush that I highly recommend getting! It works very well for cleaning.

[@kma060032]

Thank you Much easier than reading the tiny instruction sheet that came with the system

[@MysticHyppie]

I figured it out after several attempts. Again before you made your awesome video. And did exactly what you did. Thanks for the tips. My pool is not on even ground so the slimmer really doesn’t work. I had thought about disconnecting it. I get better results with the skimmer net. And your right on going very slow!

[@paunar1]

Hola va conectado al a o al b ?

[@ragin.germasian]

Awesome video bud. I've had the same pool for 3 years with all the parts. Couldn't find any videos on how to make that vac work let alone how to set it up. I would submerge myself with a long extension on my shop vac and just get what I could after scrubbing the bottom with only a broom. Have my kid turn it on and off on and off to minimize water intake. It somewhat did the trick but a total pain in the ass. With this video, I was able to set it up in 10mins and do it the right way👍. Thank you sir!!

[@JeepSolid]

That's great! I'm glad it helped you out!

[@gamergye]

You are like the only guy on youtube with this pool, thank you!

[@JeepSolid]

Thx!

[@robertdean8102]

I appreciate all your pool advice I've had several pools just not the 1500 pump I need to get the adapter to hose for inside the pool and that filter between the vacuum head and suction thank you sir

[@camerabunny6600]

i havent gotten my vacuum yet, im gonna pick it up this weekend but this video looked very helpful and ill definitely be referencing so thank youuu ❁❁

[@hga9088]

Your videos and advices are fantastic. Thank You so much. Your videos provided so much help.

[@scottritchie9543]

Haven't used my vacuum yet but I will tomorrow. Thank you. Those 3 plug looking pieces are exactly what you're using them for. I use them for the skimmer that it comes with which will increase the suction when using the skimmer.

[@JeepSolid]

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

[@MsMagdaly]

Where can I get this vacuum

[@jeni722]

You are a saint for making this vid! What a guy!

[@JeepSolid]

Haha. Thanks.

[@MrBababuwi]

Thank you for putting up this video, you are the first one on youtube community to feed video clip on this Costco pool.

[@pserrano8064]

Thank you for the videos on this product, just picked one up a few days ago and needed some help with the setup. Your the Man!

[@JeepSolid]

Great. Glad it helped you out!

[@galexandra699]

thank you!!! great simple tips.....i was so frustrated I couldn't figure it out.

[@angiemcdougall207]

Thank you so much! I’ve been trying to vacuum for weeks, so hoping with your tips it’ll work now. So glad you made this video and the set up one as well!

[@JeepSolid]

No problem. Thanks for watching

[@dennisnelson1229]

The Intex rechargeable vacuum works great. You have to actually vacuum yourself but it works flawlessly. No tubing, just a vacuum that works underwater. Cost me 50 bucks on Amazon.

[@treshameche4162]

I apologize in advance if you have already answered this question. By the way, thank you very much for this video. All I had been using prior to running across this video was the vacuum that hooked up to a hose & spending way too much money on chemicals. My question is I’ve hooked up my connections per your instructions and the vacuum works great however after a few minutes the debris I vacuumed starts coming out of port A. Am I suppose to plug that port also or change the setting on my pump to recent this from happening?

[@saraceballos3935]

The same thing happened to me. Not sure what I did wrong.

[@janettemowry9776]

Truly helpful. Just got a pool, rookie. Not sure how to balance the chemicals to make it stay clear, how often to change the filter, not sure whether to keep pump that came with the pool or purchase more powerful one... no one where we live to learn from.

[@JeepSolid]

The filter came with the pool. Sand filter is the only way to go. I have some pool chemical test strips linked in the description of my video.

[@margaritasoltero7917]

Can you please do a video about the sand filter? We bought this pool last year and your videos are great and very understanding unlike the instructions it came with or other videos I watched thank you 😊

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you.

[@salasandre]

Can you please do a video about the sand filter?

[@slotmachinequeen8504]

Thank you!!!! You are thorough through instructions and the only video anywhere!!!!

[@marioandrade5445]

Very helpful, I’m waiting for my pool vacuum from Amazon, this video is definitely very helpful. Thank you!

[@GZSSRVR]

Awesome video!! Where can I find this adaptor? 2:31

[@reyvilla4697]

Thanks for the help. Question. Where did you get the filter attachment the leaf catcher?

[@holgerh.7044]

Great job, thank you! I've bought the same and now I'm able to use it the right way ;) - with your help. Greetings from Germany

[@regularguyfixes3142]

The plugs are to stop the gravity fed water from coming out the pump during daily filter cleaning if you don't have a cutoff(my Coleman pool does not). Also Stick the vaccume hose on the exit jet to blow the air out quickly.

[@sindifisher6297]

Thank you so much. We had it hooked right just didn't get all the air out. Works now though. Thanks again!

[@valentina-vj5em]

Hi from down under (Aus), thanks for your video!!

[@megangarcia1924]

Looks like I’m way late in the game 🥴 lol. Thanks for the Video!! Where do I get that blue adapter from?

[@BJPr12]

Thanks for the video. I was looking at your description content, but couldn’t find a link for the vacuum. Can the vacuum and hose be purchased separately or it came with the Costco pool? Thanks

[@flightmedic7169]

I’m sorry but where could we get this vacuum

[@matthewkeys7705]

your videos are super helpful. Where did you get the pool vacuum from?

[@dianadelacruz3250]

If you notice 1 or 2 screws on the grey filter you took off the pool, you should be able to just unscrew the top cap off versus taking the whole thing off the wall and it makes it easier to plug it for any other maintenance

[@train4905]

A fantastic video sir,very helpfull indeed,steve from the uk,

[@alexhodskins8426]

Where can I get the blue adapter from 1.25 to 1.5 that you used in the “b”

[@greg6187]

I bought the flowclear vacuum. It has an adapter that screws onto where the screen goes. Works pretty good

[@roadrashr6]

Did you ever find an adaptor? I just got this with no adaptor

[@roadrashr6]

I ended up buy a pvc pipe about 6” long from lowes plumbing section. Like .99$

[@mariastewart4105]

Your videos are the best. Thanks so much!

[@caroleyarbrough6222]

Great video. I have a 22*52 aboveground pool What size sand filter should I get . Thanks

[@silentsea9894]

Thanks for this video, I just got a quick question about where did you get your water pump please 🙏?

[@jaybriggs2966]

What settings does the pump go on to vaccum the pool?

[@kerrykendall6700]

Great video to learn how to vacuum our new pool! A question that I hope you can answer though. Where did you get the blue adapter that goes into the pool from the vac hose? I can't find anything even close to that piece!

[@jesusrincon7696]

Hi, nice video! Do you know where I can get that blue adapter or how is that type of adapter called ? 2:31

[@bfckids1082]

Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I feel fairly confident in vacuuming now!

[@erinduke9175]

Great Video. So helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@JeepSolid]

No problem. Glad it helped.

[@olgacastro6938]

Nice video Where did you buy that filter?

[@mikemallimo9286]

Thanks for the instructions.

[@lindalopez7524]

It was a very good presentation

[@damianwikotu5828]

So what setting do you turn the pump too when you vacuum.Backwash rinse filter????

[@brendaesparza8397]

That exactly what u want to know. What setting do I put the put on when I vacuum

[@truemetaljesus]

Solid video as always 👏

[@gongwonFC]

Can u show explain wat setting the pump needs to be put into in order to vaccum properly?

[@michaelarena6727]

Thanks for your video, can you tell me Where I can buy this? I'm in AU and can't find these in the Bunnings we got the pool from..

[@KarenPerry-ly9oq]

Your videos have helped alot. I need to know we had to change the sand after just 1 year because of all the tree seedlings but we forgot to put water in the sand filter when changing the sand. There is no air in the lines so do I need to take the cover off and and water?

[@haybertmahmoudi4894]

1st- Thanks for your helpful instructions 2nd-Does this vacuum works with algae or just large debris?

[@frankdatank2529]

U can upgrade ur vacuum to a better one and you will get suction all the way around ur vacuum and these that I'm talking about have wheels not a brush , this one you have is a generic kind sorry but it works and u got it on point good job DAD

[@frankdatank2529]

Slow is key so you dont move the debris on the bottom of the pool

[@ClearwaterChad]

Using the vacuum with wheels is not recommended not made for a vinyl pool could get stuck to the bottom and make a hole

[@Midwest__Mayhem1]

@@ClearwaterChad No it won't. If your vac head is getting stuck to the pool bottom you have too much suction. Adjust accordingly and save yourself 75% more time by purchasing a better vac head. I've cleaned thousands of liner pools and have never had an issue with holes. Liner vac heads are a waste of time and money.

[@ClearwaterChad]

@@Midwest__Mayhem1 I'm in the business the vacuum is not made for vinyl liners although you can use it most people don't know how to adjust properly so not worth the risk

[@ClearwaterChad]

@@Midwest__Mayhem1 for someone who knows what they're doing it's fine but for an average homeowner could be a risk

[@octavioarroyo6096]

Hello Sr. Could you please tell me where can I buy this type of vacuum thank you. Your video really help me thanks

[@dianedunlap5348]

Perfect, and the detail I needed ! Thanks!

[@carolinejeanallincarolj]

Very helpful for when I get mine. Thank you very much

[@beckieg8479]

Thank you very helpful 😊 cheers 👍

[@juanitafabiolajassorocha5630]

Great video!!! The best I’ve seen but does this vacuum pick up algae as well?

[@JeepSolid]

It can break it up and suck the algae into the filter

[@heatherinuk]

Thank you so much for your videos on this pool as the instructions that come with it along with their “how-to” videos suck! You rock!!

[@JeepSolid]

Thank you. Glad it helped!

[@therealvirgoqueen6553]

You sure did help me out & Thx u 🙏🍀🙏

[@NicholasLaDieu]

wow, this is so stupid of me, but I didn't think to plug the other side. .. lol :) Thanks buddy

[@skyaguilar]

I was so confused and this video has the best explanation ever!!! Thank you so much!! I appreciate u.

[@BakerZone760]

As a pool cleaner, if your pump is having trouble priming, get a gallon of water and fill it up. It helps

[@Mamatc264]

Yes! But where do I get the leaf bag assembly????

[@sabelcastillo]

Excellent video mister, could you please tell me the brand/make of the solar water heater... how does it work and does it work well? Thanks in advance!!

[@powwow1218]

Do you have links for all of the pieces for the vacuum
