I just recently bought the intex pool vacuum for my intex 12x24 above ground pool but it keeps stopping after only 5 mins of running. I don't have any wrinkles in the liner that it would be getting stuck on. My sand filter flow rate is 2,100 GPH. I also have the intex skimmer that attaches to the side of the pool.
I am attaching the hose to the vacuum to the pool inlet. I've seen a few people attach it to the pool outlet (removing the strainer grid). I'm trying to figure out the right way to install the vacuum so it stops stopping. Also, do I need to plug the outlet that the skimmer is hooked to while the vacuum is going to help with the flow to the vacuum?
I appreciate any advice as I am new to having a pool and I'm having trouble figuring this part out!
