Hi, we upgraded from a 22 x 52 pro series poly group Frame pool to a 24 x 52. The old pool had a cartridge filter system. This one came with a sand filter system and I have never used one of those.
My question is about vacuuming the pool. I feel stupid but I don't see how we can vacuum it the way we did with the other filtration system. (Where we hooked it directly to the intake with a hose and cover over the skimmer). Are we going to have to use a water hose every time to vacuum with this sand filter? This pool doesn't have a skimmer either, so I'm not sure how to work vacuuming with it. Do you do it the same way? Just hook your vacuum hose to the intake? If so, how does that work with the sand, etc. and any debris you suck up?
I hope I am making sense. I'm sure this is something easy but I just can't get my head around it the way it is set up now.
Thanks.
