You can What’s your pump in recirculate so bypasses the sand filter and gives your vacuum more pressure
I own a pool store and we were putting these up last year. We do a regular Hayward skimmer and Hayward returns. It is so much better than what you have for a skimmer now. For the skimmer you put it in the spot on your current return and for your returns you would put it where your suction is now.
If I switched them like that would I be able to run my Vac?
I just looked into them, looks like the route I’m going to take! Trying to find the right adapters that won’t restrict water flow to the bigger piping. Any insight?
@@BigCountrysWay hi I would not suggest you switching these. First try to put your pump filter and salt system on some kind of platform. Idk if that helps but we don’t have flow restrictions problems. Contact me on sven.s.stanojevic@gmail.com for more informations or questions.
It’s a huge issue to have 2 intakes. If you try snd plug off one, it puts sir in your lines. You fixed it when you installed the wall skimmer.
I believe your vacuum problem is you have to turn off the flow to output valves to run the vacuum. I have seen it on another video! I hope that helps! I can't remember his video! I was watching because this is probably the last year with our pool!
if your using your maintainance kit .. some times the hoover sends air to the system if its not submerged. check your connections on the skimmer/out see if they good , also you need to fully submerge that exra pipe for the skimmer you got so the air goes out.
I have the same pool. I upgraded the Intex pump to a 18' sand filter pump with 1.5hp motor by Hayward/ still using the same exact skimmer, having the same issues. If I block off on inlet, the skimmer is sucking everything you can imagine, great whirlpool, but it's not enough water getting to the pump so my hoses collapse due to the sucking pressure of my pump. So I'm doing the same thing, I have the outlet open also, the skimmer is doing it's job, but not like it was with the one port blocked off. I was scared to damage my sand filter pump. I upgraded the pump because I just found out that the INTEX pumps are not even 1HP... no even the 3000GPH they sell. It's only 0.65hp, which in my opinion and from reading about pool pumps, it's not enough for our pool which is about 12,400 gallons of water....
Check out my skimmer install video. It’s the ticket boss. The in wall skimmer is the way to go. I have amazing flow only using one pipe.
Mine i just got seemed like it did the same thing but i didnt have air in the pump window id rather block the one inlet ,use the one for the skimmer and vacuum ! I cant find the robots to clean like u got they all went through the roof on price!
Hi, I know that air in the system is frustrating but as long as there is water pressure going from the jet to pool you’re fine. If there’s air in the basket, and if you see water and air shooting under the lid but there’s water circulating, nothing is wrong.
But it’s so bad, like if I leave the pump running with the plug in for 3-4 hours it’ll almost run my pump catch basket dry, ultimately leading to running my pump dry and shooting air out the jet
If you use the white plug with the small whole in it, there will be no air in the hose. Just a few small bubbles.
I believe that skimmer does not go with that upgraded system , you may have to update to the wide month white one
Check my latest vids, I got my system perfect!
When you have a vacuum on the line the air in the water will separate out. The plug with the hole in it will determine the amount of vacuum you create.
I'm having the same problem with my skimmer right now too... I thought it was normal. Idk. But yea it works great when I have have restrictor in there. Haven't tried without it yet.
Check out my fixing my mistakes vid! I put a in wall skimmer on and man, that thing is awesome!! The way I tied it to the pump makes for zero flow restriction. Amazing
I am trying to put this same pool up. Is there a secret getting the last post together????? Please help.
Baby powder.
With the plug in it may be reducing the pressure in the line enough to cause air to come out of solution
that's exactly right!
Have you ever taken your pool down? We can't get our top rail disconnected, any suggestions? Anyone?
I got the skimmer last year and have been fight the air too. This year I upgraded to a Hayward sand filter and pump. 1800 GPH from the original 1500. I’ve done the same as you. Tried different size holes in the plug and tightening clamps. Thinking about trying moving the skimmer to other spot and see what happens.
Check out my Skimmer install video! I put an in wall skimmer in and LOVE it!!!
Ive got an intex 18x52. Replaced the weak pump within a week fromn12"sand with 1/4 hp pump to 16" sand and 3/4 hp pump. So much better. Got the same skimmer and get tired uundoing the hose to connect vacume. Im gonna get a robot vacume thats hoseless so the skimmer will always work. Not sure what your air problem is
What do you think about a 2100 gph flow rate I'm getting ready to buy the 18 ft by 52 in it doesn't really say what horsepower it is do you think I'll have to upgrade that pump thanks
Dude wrinkles suck. Hard to get out. I learned the hard way to. Next season we'll be spending more time on the bottom
I got em out! Made a fixing my mistakes video
"Skimmer problem"
Might be "cavitation" try and take out any bends in the hose. Hope it works.

My dogs name was ruger when we went to adopt him from the animal cont. we re named him Rudy. He never answered to ruger.
You are running the vacuum off the intake where the water flows in right? A lot of people make the mistake of putting it on the skimmer side. It works great when you use it on the side where the water flows in.
The vacuum goes on the water exit
Hey, you are connecting the vacuum to the output of the pump right? 🙈 in you connecting it to the inlet, it’s not working
get rid of that type skimmer and put in a wall mounted hayward skimmer and go to all 1 1/2 inch pvc pipe and i have an extra vacuum port next to the skimmer with valves on each one.
Check my newer pool vids :)
Does thise intex pools need to be grounded and do the pumps that cone with it need to be bonded?
I am having the same problem with the air in the pump when I plug it with the skimmer it's been driving me nuts and I haven't found a video on it until now! I seen your other video installing the skimmer and plugging the other hole and just running one hose what size hose did you get for that? Or can I just use one of the hoses that I already have? Sorry for all the questions😂
Have you checked your legs with a level? I just set mine up and I adjusted the legs every hour with a level while I was filling it. The liner looks just like yours, a slight bulge pressing against the legs. Your legs may be level I think it's supposed to look like that.
Like your video! And your dog!
Do these pools need the exact size they say or more?
I’m getting a 22 ft will I need a spot bigger then 22ft?
Any input appreciated!
Thank you
I didn’t ever take measurements to verify that
Thank you for your videos you have been very helpful
Thanks for watching!!
How far apart are the legs from each other
I don’t have a clue. They are just level with the Y joint
Same problem with air in the pump if second inlet is plugged. WHY???
Never figured it out… BUT! I installed a new skimmer. Fixed everything. Can finally leave the pump running for hours without a worry. I have two videos about the new skimmer and fixing all the mistakes I made
I have the same issue as well. I just left it alone.
I got all my probs fixed. Bugged me lol
Did you bond it? If so how? Please help lol
thank you for sharing
Need your input on putting this pool into an area that had a pool with walls next to dirt. In Other words, the Intex pool would be next to dirt.
Like putting it into the ground next to dirt? Or on a slope that’s cut out of a hill?
Did you remove the pavers?
I'm getting the same thing. I keep getting air. Pissing me off lol
I noticed in another video that you’re using a salt system on this pool. Keep an eye out for rusting support poles and the top rails, Intex pools are bad about the metal frame corroding without using salt!
Copy, thanks! Imma keep my eye out. This is the XTR frame so I’m hoping it holds up good. Any rust that may show up, I’ll remove and repaint. My frame gets rinsed all the time by my sprinklers. That might help lol
@@BigCountrysWay just keep an eye out. I used to own a swimming pool service company and I’ve seen really bad things happen with pools due to salt. Personally I wouldn’t ever use it. I get why people do but it cost you more in the long run having to replace the salt cells / chlorine generator. People think when they use salt the water is chlorine free but the salt cell / generator turns the salt to chlorine anyway. And at times it’s still necessary to shock your pool with chlorine. J/s
@@871jamie I gotcha. I shock my pool once a week. I enjoy the salt water though. Even with shock, it doesn’t hurt to open your eyes, it won’t bleach your clothes and it’s better for me 1 year olds skin. Plus I’m not buying TUBs of chlorine every summer. With these pools, if a part starts to rust it’s cheap to replace it.
@@BigCountrysWay you did a good job with the skimmer by the way. I’ve done them on the same type of pools many times and never a problem. We actually have a similar pool but it’s a best way which pretty much makes all of these pools anyway. We added a waterfall to ours which cools the water down about 10° on any given day and we landscaped around it with black rubber mulch and a rubber border with solar lights all the way around it. Looks pretty kick ass.
@@871jamie sounds sweet man! I still have to landscape lol
Wish I could add a picture to the comments of our 24 foot intex we just leveled the ground out the best we could, now going to lay some blocks under the feet, because we didn’t have a huge machine to go over the ground 😂 I need better friends haha but after that we are going to start adding the water, I’m getting worried because a lot of reviews are saying after one year there let’s are rusting really bad
I'm on my 2nd season with my 20ft intex. No rust. Don't use salt water system!
My friend had one for over 5 years she never had one spot of rust!
Nice review ! What kind of pump was included in the set? And what kind of saltwater system do you use? I suppose this was bought extra?
Good questions! This set came with I believe the 2800 GPH pump and I purchased the intex unit. First video covers it all!
@@BigCountrysWay thanks! Btw you look a lot like Ethan Suplee! And i find him super cool. Thanx for the review!
@@FrixFrixX hahaha no clue who that is. I’ll have to look him up!
@@BigCountrysWay i also had to Google his name :D You have his charisma!
How’s the pool holding up?
So far so good! New house owner even had a Deck built for it
How much was the vacuum car
I think I paid $160, not bad. Only had 87k miles on it
Get better hoses
2 inch flexi pvc use it
