After being bugged for a while I put in a Intex 18 X 48 last summer for my daughter. I installed the Index 2100 GHP Sand Filter. Okay everything is great, except I can't get it to draw any dirt off of the floor of the pool. So I installed the Index 3000 GPh Sand Filter this spring with the 3/4 hp motor thinking that would solve my problem. Nope, it's not any better at all. I assume the pump is not strong enough to pump the water through the vacuum hose. I install a skimmer on the outside to the pool, that's how I'm connecting the hose to the pump. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a bigger pump motor? Or is it something else? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
