I have the 8x18x42” AGP. I have been having nightmares trying to figure out to vacuum. Small kids and lots of heat means little grass and lots of mud. I upgraded from the small cartridge filter to the 12” this season.
I have this vacuum tube:
This vacuum:
I have the intex side overhang skimmer.
I use and adaptor to connect to the skimmer hose after it’s filled with water.
I then plug the other inlet, turn the pump to waste and turn the pump back on.
the pollen and small Live Oak leaves quickly Jam up the screen on the inlet and everything stops.
there has got to be a better way.
today I tried rigging a valve plunger to my Type B connector to my adaptor and again it worked for a short while but then it quickly started drawing air into the tubes and the basket tank on the pump started filling with air.
what am I doing wrong? What is the magic?
I have this vacuum tube:
