I've tried alot of ways to remove algae from the bottom of my pool. The moat easiest and cheapest way was to use a garden hose and siphon it. It causes a natural vacuum without stirring the water. Sure some water is lost but is so much easier.
He probably used a floculant (it grabs the stuff floating as particulate and sinks it to the bottom) look for pool floc. You have to follow the instructions.
I clean the filter cartridges first, and make sure it’s primed well. The more suction it has the better. Also, He is doing it very slowly so he won’t kick up the algae and get the water cloudy.
this is about the same color i have in small spots on the bottom of my above ground pool. what classification is this algae? i can't seem to get rid of it. killed it once or twice and turned white but came right back I'm about at wits end here :( the cordless vac i have just filters the water right back in a it vacuums too! using algecide/clarifier and chlorine levels are perfect!!! please help!!!
Mustard or yellow algae, get some yellow mustard, algicide and shock the hell out of it with lots of liquid chlorine. Scrub it away, then clean out your filter.
Try dropping a 3" piece of copper tubing in your skimmer basket. It's supposed to prevent algae forever. I just saw 2 videos on it. I'm about to try it.
@@maryrodriguez4879 if a lot of people started jumping off a bridge would you do it ? Most like not. Do your own research on pool maintaince. A pool build is expensive and you think its cheap to maintaince? Yea right.
THis doesn't help me. I can see it's coming out of the pool but how is your pump set up? Where is the algae water going? Through the filter or out of the pool altogether?
The filter would not be able to filter that much algae that fast, so if you did try to filter vacuum, it would end up coming back into the pool through the return jets. It is best to bypass the system, which is what waste mode does, and just get it out of the pool
@yatusabes3682 I hopped In my pool with a long shop vac hard plastic hose and move slow. I have the hard plastic hose attached to the long pool vacuum hose for length.
@Sandbar Pool & Spa can you tell me exactly what vacuum head you are using? I have been through many trying to get the algae off the bottom of my pool and none of them seem to do the job like yours in your video. Please and thank you.
@@makaylashovatter8883 I will attach a link to the one above. But if the algae is stuck onto the bottom of the pool, it will not come up like this.

I’ve been trying to get it off the bottom of my pool to, and it just seems to stir it up instead of suck it out using the vacuum on waist mode and losing a ton of water in order to accomplish it so I’m wondering if I’m not using the most efficient way to get it cleaned up
@@Poolfixers I live next to a alley and my pool has dust at the bottom. I can’t seem to get it out do you think this would pickup the dust from the bottom? I can run the pump all week and stir it up but doesn’t work

I have that tool but the algae just gets stirred up how do I get it to vaccuum neat like that??
go really slow like he is if not the vaccum will not pick it up correctly you need to go slow and make sure the vaccumm is on the ground
Make sure you vacuum to waste and add water at the same time cause you loose water while doing it.

Where is the other end of the hose? Is it connected to something or just hanging over the pool? Natural suction?

I have the same issue and can’t no one to get it out of my pool what’s the name of the pump you are using to clean out ?

@@gavettthats bad
Dont do that youll regret in the future
@@Topginbugatti1 why do you say that a lot of people said it’s good ? What is the bad about it ?
@@maryrodriguez4879 if a lot of people started jumping off a bridge would you do it ? Most like not. Do your own research on pool maintaince. A pool build is expensive and you think its cheap to maintaince? Yea right.
How much water is lost doing this ?
THis doesn't help me. I can see it's coming out of the pool but how is your pump set up? Where is the algae water going? Through the filter or out of the pool altogether?
Out of the pool all together. The pump is on waste
@PoolgirlOBX he meant to say the filter(not the pump) which is a sand filter is on the waste dial mode extracting the algae water out of the pool.
How to connect
You mentioned you put it on waste mode? Why not filter mode?
The filter would not be able to filter that much algae that fast, so if you did try to filter vacuum, it would end up coming back into the pool through the return jets. It is best to bypass the system, which is what waste mode does, and just get it out of the pool
@@Poolfixers I appreciate u responding back to me, I noticed you have a separate vacuum pump that seems to be portable, how much is that?
@Press To Burst it all depends on which pump you get. It's just a motor and pump housing with an electrical cord
If you filter then the algae will get back in pool. Need to waste
Is the hose connected to the pump on waste mode that you are using?
Yes
That’s what I wonder
What if you don’t have one of those? I have a basic pump and salinator. My pool is sandy as hell lol
@yatusabes3682 I hopped In my pool with a long shop vac hard plastic hose and move slow. I have the hard plastic hose attached to the long pool vacuum hose for length.
I am having the issue of no suction on waste
Hello, when you are on waste is water flowing out of the backwash line? Double check that you have prime in your pump.
I have a question the other end of the hose where does that part connect to?
The separate trash pump that I am vacuuming with
What type of trash pump are you using?
Not a lot if help just watching you vacuum. Why didn’t you explain your vacuum setup?
What brush or tool is that
It's just a vacuum head, pool pole, and the hose that connects it all.
@Sandbar Pool & Spa can you tell me exactly what vacuum head you are using? I have been through many trying to get the algae off the bottom of my pool and none of them seem to do the job like yours in your video. Please and thank you.

very satisfying
What’s this vac called
I believe I added a link in the comments with it. I am going to make a video explaining this
@PoolgirlOBX Please do. Thank you I, and I'm sure WE ALL, appreciate you uploading vid about your vac(magic wand😉). New subscriber here! 😊
Fake video otherwise would have answered
Learn to read. He answered LOTS of comments.
I hate that once your filters get full, all that back into the pool and make it all cloudy
@josechavez8636 that is why you don't vacuum this on filter, you vacuum it on waste so it goes out the backwash line
