You do excellent job of explaining. I’ve had pools most of my life. You teach me every time I watch. Thank you
Thanks so muvh for posting. I love that you are taking the time to explain all this to us. God Bless
Great information thank you sir. One thing I learned (as a new pool owner here...lol) is I turn my MAIN drain off and use the SKIMMER drain only while vacuuming. I lost almost half my pool water by not doing this, ugh.
Thank you
My pool supply guy always told me to do it in waste mode. So i just do that. Regardless of level of dirt. Otherwise, for the in-between, I just use my bots. I have a skimmer bot and a floor/wall bot. Though, I need a better floor/wall bot. Went with Polaris and that was a super expensive mistake.
For normal cleaning vacuum in filter, you will save money on chemicals and water. Using a robotic cleaner for normal cleaning is good. Use waste when your pool is really dirty or algae infested. Thanks for watching.
Very important vidios
Great video. Hi, I have a Hayward D.E filter, no waste option. 48k gallons
Some DE filters do not have a waste position but if you have a drain position it is the same thing. Thanks for watching.
Very helpful video, do you recommend vacuuming the pool with the pump set to a certain RPM?
When vacuuming the pool, you want to be about 2500 to 3000 RPM on average. Thanks for watching.
Hi mayk I want take my pool water out iI tried to do but after 2 minutes stop water please can you told me way
It seems like vacuuming to waste will result in losing a lot of water while in the process of doing it. Since you hook the vacuum into the skimmer, doesn’t that water drop affect the skimmer and the actual vacuuming of the pool?
Yes, this is why l tell you in the video that when vacuuming the pool in waste that you will have to add water to the pool. You will only vacuum in the waste position if your pool is extremely dirty and algae infested. For normal vacuuming and cleaning you will vacuum in the filter position. Thanks for watching.
It is extremely green and algae invested when we opened it this week. I was just concerned about the water loss doing it to waste but I guess it’s best to overfill before we start. Thanks!
Over fill it and while your vacuuming keep filling up pool with water from the water holes
Great video ! I’m using Ocion Copper in my pool because of Chlorine allergy. When I was vacuuming to waste I lost a lot of expensive liquid 😂 Now I just use a Volt FX 8 cordless vacuum- love it - no more hoses and Volt picks up fine silty juk from bottom and my water level stays same. 👍🇨🇦
Sir, why is that when I vacuum thru waste, it's difficult to rotate multi valve dial to filter. Also, when you say to close the drain valve for better suction ( I've been having problems with the hose disconnecting from the vacummn) , is that the return water valve to the pool.? Thanks in advance
Never rotate the handle when the pump is running. Also make sure that you have the correct end of the vacuum hose hooked up properly. The stationary end of the hose hooks up to the vacuum plate when vacuuming. Thanks for watching.
@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Thanks that solved my problem. I have another issue, when I have my valve on the the "Filter" status water is draining from the Backflush/waste pipe .
Can you help me with that. Today I enrolled on your basic service. I tried E-Mailing you but I get a message that address does not exists. Tanks in advance
If you are leaking water out of the backwash while you are in the filter position then you need to check your multiport valve. Not sure what valve or system you have but l can help. I receive emails everyday, my email is on my TH-cam channel. The best way to get in contact with me is on my patreon page, select a tier that works for you and l will be glad to help. I can work with you one on one and you can cancel anytime. Thanks.
When vacuuming my ab9ve ground pool my pump acts seems like it's not getting enough water.
What type of filter system do you have? Are you vacuuming in the filter position or the waste position?
Ilter blows everything back in the pool I used waste I have a spaapool pump with a Hayward sand filter
Hello. I've tried multiple times to email you via the address on your website. I've also tried using the website form. I've gotten no response on the form, and emails are returned due to invalid address. Please tell me how to send a photo of my liner for patch purchase. Thank you
I receive emails everyday, my email is on my TH-cam channel. Send some pictures and l will be glad to help. Thanks for watching.
@HallmarkPoolSupplies can you write the correct email address in a response? I don't see it on the TH-cam channel page. I sent to the info email from the web page to no avail.

My pump doesn't have a part to close drain line ?
@@PauletteLeblanc-nd7ye Having a valve on the skimmer line and the drain line is best. This way you can regulate the suction, especially when you vacuum the pool. Thanks for watching.
My filter has no waste setting, just filter? The vacuum in the filter mode just blows the fine dirt back in the pool, dang it.
Make sure that you keep your filter cleaned. By the way, what type of filter system do you have?
I have the same problem, I have a jacuzzi brand. So weird that it doesn’t have a waste option, only filter, back wash, rinse, close
@@MrLegendRonaldo7in this case it is the rinse option. Rinse after backwash
