Hello! Thanks to everyone in this forum - which enabled me to take control of my pool and make it awesome.
My brother just bought a house and I was trying to help him figure out his pool.
I think the pool is older, maybe from the 80s. He has an in-ground integrated jacuzzi with the pool (which makes me jealous since my above-ground spa is way more maintenance ).
He doesn't seem to have an attachment on the side of the wall of the pool for a vacuum - mine does. And his house didn't come with a vacuum either. I thought that was a bit odd, then I realized that maybe the age of the pool caused the particular design.
He does have one skimmer - it has 2 holes - I haven't figured out each yet. But does this setup mean that he is supposed to attach a vacuum to one of the holes in the skimmer every time he wants to vacuum? That seems to be a challenge. I did find a different discussion about the potential option if having the skimmer work and have a vacuum attached permanently (in order to reduce maintenance effort).

Thanks for your input.
