Intex Deluxe Pool Maintenance Vacuum Kit Install

[@scherylb]

Id be scared to vacuum in the pool while the pump is running. I wont even swim in the pool with the pump running as these pools are not bonded in any way shape or form.

[@krismDK]

i noticed that you are splitting the inled to the skimmer and pool if block off the other inlet to the pump all the suction will go thru the vacuum in the set up in the video you are losing around 50% suction. at the end of you video where you show the part it look like the supply a plug too (the round white piece)

[@ExploreSumore]

Perfect. Thank you man! You’re the best.

[@anchoredtexan7255]

Does it attach to where the water sucks out of the pool or where it blows out like the Intex auto cleaner?

[@RickBolt]

it attaches where it sucks water out of the pool, which is the pump intake. Thanks for watching.

[@kzw7482]

Anybody having a problem with the vacuum head falling off? Ours keeps falling off every few minutes or so then everything that we sucked up goes back in the pool

[@chris2162003]

Tried buying the rings for the 40k pool pump that came with it. I only get bigger or to little. It's a meance

[@alexissmith7703]

I just bought the same kit on Amazon! Thanks for the video. Stay safe

[@RickBolt]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexchavezjr1524]

Thanks for the info.great video

[@Oksana531]

You gotta get yourself those skimmer sock thingies for your skimmer. It’ll get more of that finer debris and you’ll change your filter less

[@RickBolt]

Thanks, I'll check it out

[@purplecheesecake496]

Ok im doing this tomorrow the pump, what setting should it be on? Regular filter setting????

[@RickBolt]

I made an updated video that shows how I vacuum mine pump and all kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2Otko2doc6dgdk

[@benickamason9532]

I was hoping to see things that u cut out. Such as getting the air out the hose.

[@derickmize2394]

Yeah lol

[@benjminmooreside3969]

Same!!! I watched all the idle chit chat for literally forever waiting for that part and he cut it right out.

[@penguins.227]

Yeah that's where I'm struggling.

[@dianascott5429]

Did you have to buy the adapter that you switched out in the beginning? I have the same skimmer basket and the hose does not fit on the adapter.

[@RickBolt]

my adapter came with my vacuum kit.

[@lanz637]

Is the vacuum connected to the intake or the outtake of the pool. I got a Bestway version to this Intex and only the intake is threaded. Do I remove the threaded adapter from my intake and place it on the out take to connect the vacuum? It didn't seem to work when connected to the outtake

[@RickBolt]

I connect mine to the intake. if you have two intakes like I do, you can add one of the rubber restrictors to the opposite intake to get more suction on your vacuum. I have an update video that shows it is a little better. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2Otko2doc6dgdk

[@lanz637]

@@RickBolt Thanks Buddy! Which is Intake? Is the "Intake" the two hoses that take water out of the pool into the pump/filter. Or is it the one that brings water into the pool. Either makes sense by way of naming convention. I hooked it up to one of my two ports that take water out of the pool assuming that this is consistent with creating a suction for the vacuum. Am I right? I haven't gotten it to work properly yet.

[@RickBolt]

@@lanz637 intake sucks water from pool to pump. So I guess we should call it pump intake side.

[@aaminblue]

Hi Dude, thanks for the nice simple informative video. Want to know a bit detail on the base that your pool is standing on. Recently I bought same one as yours here in the video, but a bit worried whether to put it on directly on the garden or needs some strong base.

[@RickBolt]

If I had to do it over again I would put a patio paver base leveled with gravel under each pool support.

[@aaminblue]

@@RickBolt Thanks. Are you facing any after issue with leveling or sinking down the pole frame?

[@Christian-yg7qd]

Do you think the hose is long enough to vacuum 22x52 pool?

[@RickBolt]

Christian 360 probably not. That is about double the size of my pool, but you should be able to add extra hose.

[@lebellaart]

How long did it take for you to fill the hose with water and get all the air out? Mine just isn't filling.

[@RickBolt]

It took a while holding it under water. My kids helped me hold it under so it did not take more than a couple of minutes.

[@descendantoffools9767]

@@RickBolt Quick tip from an old pool guy. When you're trying to remove the air from the vacuum line, put your pole on the end of vac head, hook one end of the hose to the vac head and lower it to the bottom of the pool, then with the equipment running take the end that your going to attach to the skimmer or suction line and hold it over your return jet. You'll see a load of bubbles come out of vac head, when the bubbles stop, the hose is fully primed.

[@RickBolt]

@@descendantoffools9767 Awesome, thanks for the tip. I will try to make an updated video showing this.

[@descendantoffools9767]

@@RickBolt Your welcome, been out of the pool business for about 20 years and it's good to know all that old info cluttering my brain is good for something.

[@truthsayer77]

@@descendantoffools9767 good tip

[@ANDERSONEXPRESS7]

Where do u get the kit from

[@RickBolt]

Link is in the description. I have seen them at Amazon and Walmart.com

[@hdzlupe]

Do you happen to have the model of the pump for your pool?

[@RickBolt]

Model number sf80110-2. Thanks for watching.

[@danielladmccoy]

Great video but I cannot get any suction

[@RickBolt]

Daniella McCoy my guess is too much air in the vacuum hose. Sometimes I need to hold mine under water for a few minutes before I can purge all of the air.

[@danielladmccoy]

@@RickBolt , I thought so too but, I put my hand against the intake and there wasn't any suction either

[@RickBolt]

Does most of the hose float in the water? Is your pump leaking any water? I found my filter area will leak water around the top and make noise when there is some air in the system.

[@ricka1221]

@@danielladmccoy when there is to much air in the hose, the pump wont work at al. So no suction.

[@pjmerna]

Mine isn't picking anything up and no suction??
