I've seen folks lament every now and then that there isn't a better way to keep the vacuum hose from being wound up in the water, twisting and fighting the vacuum or even kinking up.
Here's what I do:
1) Before putting the hose in the water, lay the empty coil on the ground next to the pool.
2) Step one foot directly into the center of the coil.
3) Take a free end of the hose and begin feeding it into the pool.
4) Allow the remaining hose to naturally unwind itself from around your planted leg.
Now that the hose is nicely unwound and free of kinks and coils, proceed to hook up the vacuum head & pole, take an end over the return jet to fill it with water, and then over to the skimmer to connect to the adapter plate.
One less annoyance.
Happy swimming!
