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.
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!
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.
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 :)
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.
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 :)
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.
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
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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 😊
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.
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!
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
This worked on our Intex pool!!!!! Wow, after other no help videos! Ours had a filter basket hanging off the side with a hose to that port. We unhooked from basket then hose to the brush!!! Flawless!!!
Did you hook the vacuum hose to the skimmer basket or the inlet where the other end of the skimmer hose connects to? Seems like the debris would need to go to the basket vs filter
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
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?
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!
Oh another tip! For the hard to get dirt and small gravel, disconnect the vacuum head and just use the hose to suck up stubborn dirt and gravel. I just sweep it up into a pile and suck it all out!
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
@@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.
@@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
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!!
totally helpful. We watch the Bestway instructional video a few times but that video was produced to make you feel like a dumb-ass for not figuring it out.
How do I bleed the air out of my filter Basket? I have the costco 22x12x48 with sand filter. I cannot find anyone to help with questions until you. Thank God for you!
Great Video!! Your explaining helped me use my vacuum well. However, I do not know how to use the chemicals to maintain my pool. Could you make a video on that or can u suggest what I should I do??
What setting do you use to vacuum? I have poly balls, it says not to backwash when using poly balls or it can clog the filter. So I use the filter setting BUT it just pushes what I’m vacuuming back into the pool 😅
I think I over shocked my pool and it left white powdery substance on floor of pool. Does this type of vacuum remove it or does it pull it through hose and back into pool? Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you
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.
Same! 😂
Your Costco pool videos are SO helpful! Especially since the pool itself came with hardly any directions.
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.

I'm now encouraged to take another stab at vacuum cleaning my pool.
Thanks!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I am a visual person and this helped so much!!!!
Thanks for this! Way more explanatory than Bestway's own promotional videos.
This is the best video i've run across while trying to figure out how to set up my vacuum Thanks
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.
The First Video that shows how to set up this thing! Great Guy!
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 :)
That's a good idea.
Yep! It's the "last thing before you get out" game. 😁
The whirlpool! Yesssss
What settings on the pump do you use to vaccum.
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.
Thank you for this video! This has been the best video for this pool! You have helped me a lot!
Thanks. Watching from New Zealand and cleaning the pool as we come into summer. Very helpful thanks.
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 :)
Haha! Thank you. You should buy a Jeep! They're a lot of fun!!
Thank you Much easier than reading the tiny instruction sheet that came with the system
Thank you for the videos as the instructions are limited! I wanted to add a helpful hint.

Can you show us how you maintain your pool? in terms of what chemicals you use
You are like the only guy on youtube with this pool, thank you!
Thx!
Been looking for a tutorial from Kermit the Frog for ages! Thanks!
Your videos and advices are fantastic. Thank You so much. Your videos provided so much help.
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.
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!

The same thing happened to me. Not sure what I did wrong.
Thank you for putting up this video, you are the first one on youtube community to feed video clip on this Costco pool.
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.
thank you!!! great simple tips.....i was so frustrated I couldn't figure it out.
Very helpful, I’m waiting for my pool vacuum from Amazon, this video is definitely very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you!!!! You are thorough through instructions and the only video anywhere!!!!
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.
Cool. Thanks for the feedback.
Where can I get this vacuum

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.
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
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!
Great. Glad it helped you out!

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!!
Thank you. Glad it helped!
Hi from down under (Aus), thanks for your video!!
Thank you so much. We had it hooked right just didn't get all the air out. Works now though. Thanks again!
Thanks for this video, I just got a quick question about where did you get your water pump please 🙏?
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
Great Video. So helpful. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
No problem. Glad it helped.
1st- Thanks for your helpful instructions
2nd-Does this vacuum works with algae or just large debris?
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I feel fairly confident in vacuuming now!
I was so confused and this video has the best explanation ever!!! Thank you so much!! I appreciate u.
Your videos are the best. Thanks so much!
A fantastic video sir,very helpfull indeed,steve from the uk,
Looks like I’m way late in the game 🥴 lol. Thanks for the Video!! Where do I get that blue adapter from?
Thanks I had a feeling my hover wasn't working because of the air watching this did helped me out
This worked on our Intex pool!!!!! Wow, after other no help videos! Ours had a filter basket hanging off the side with a hose to that port. We unhooked from basket then hose to the brush!!! Flawless!!!

Very helpful for when I get mine. Thank you very much
your videos are super helpful.
Where did you get the pool vacuum from?
Thank you for the video, bought the pump and will be setting it up tomorrow for use.
Pero si saca la tierra
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
Perfect, and the detail I needed ! Thanks!
Hello Sr. Could you please tell me where can I buy this type of vacuum thank you. Your video really help me thanks
Solid video as always 👏
Great video!!! The best I’ve seen but does this vacuum pick up algae as well?
It can break it up and suck the algae into the filter
Thank you! I got the vacuum working. The hardest part was getting the air out of the hose. It works really good
Cool. Glad it helped.
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?
Thanks for the instructions.
It was a very good presentation
Nice work. I'll be doing for my similar above ground pool very soon
Thank you so much for this video, so information and easy to follow!!
As a pool cleaner, if your pump is having trouble priming, get a gallon of water and fill it up. It helps
This is such an amazing channel. I have learned so much about my pool! Thank you soo much, we really appreciate you.
Great video.
I have a 22*52 aboveground pool
What size sand filter should I get .
Thanks
thanks very helpful was gonna take it back to the shop, no need to now.
That's great. Glad you found it helpful.
Hey thanks so much I had no clue how to use and couldn’t find out how to do anywhere else
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!
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..
Oh another tip! For the hard to get dirt and small gravel, disconnect the vacuum head and just use the hose to suck up stubborn dirt and gravel. I just sweep it up into a pile and suck it all out!
Great tip. Thank you!
Thank you. Very helpful for this pool newbie :)
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
Slow is key so you dont move the debris on the bottom of the pool
Using the vacuum with wheels is not recommended not made for a vinyl pool could get stuck to the bottom and make a hole
@@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.

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!!
Very helpful and simple!
wow, this is so stupid of me, but I didn't think to plug the other side. .. lol :) Thanks buddy
totally helpful. We watch the Bestway instructional video a few times but that video was produced to make you feel like a dumb-ass for not figuring it out.
I'm glad it was helpful to you. Thanks for watching.
Can u show explain wat setting the pump needs to be put into in order to vaccum properly?
Extremely helpful! Thank you sir.💪🏽
Thank you! You made it look easy.
Solid video bud.
Does this vacuum system allow you to vacuum to waste? We’re trying to get rid of algae on the bottom of our pool. Thanks!
Thank you very helpful 😊 cheers 👍
What settings does the pump go on to vaccum the pool?
Now this looks easy and well explained. How much is this pool vac? And how do you maintain a 2500 gallon saltwater pool??? 🤔
This pool vac came with the pool as a kit.
Very helpful - there's no description of how it works, on the Bestway website - So now I know, I'll buy one :-) Many Thanks
How do I bleed the air out of my filter Basket? I have the costco 22x12x48 with sand filter. I cannot find anyone to help with questions until you. Thank God for you!
Great Video!! Your explaining helped me use my vacuum well. However, I do not know how to use the chemicals to maintain my pool. Could you make a video on that or can u suggest what I should I do??
Rhrighrhrhhrrh
You sure did help me out & Thx u 🙏🍀🙏
Thanks for the help. Question. Where did you get the filter attachment the leaf catcher?
What setting do you use to vacuum? I have poly balls, it says not to backwash when using poly balls or it can clog the filter. So I use the filter setting BUT it just pushes what I’m vacuuming back into the pool 😅
I think I over shocked my pool and it left white powdery substance on floor of pool. Does this type of vacuum remove it or does it pull it through hose and back into pool? Please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you
Thankyou for this it was so helpful
