IS there anything to clean up all the dust and dirt at the bottom of a above ground pool?

Question

ITS A 15FT WIDE AND 4 FT TALL POOL. I TRIED THE VACUUM CLEANER IT WONT WORK.

Answer 1

You got a water filter on that thing? I suppose so... You are going to have to attach a vacuum cleaner hose to the inlet of your filter, then vacuum the bottom of your pool with that. The vacuum deal that comes with the hose is a piece of crap - just throw it away.

I used to use a garden hose shoved into the filter inlet (inside the pool) with a 4" vacuum head on the other side, then swim around the bottom of the pool sweeping everything up.

It's a real pain in the butt. I ended up putting a couple of pavers at the bottom of the entry ladder and insisting that the kids hose off before they got in the pool. You can imagine how well that worked - it kept some stuff out, but not much. Every time a toy came flying out of the pool, more dirt came back in with it.

Good Luck!

Cheers.

Answer 2

Pool vacuums work nicely IF you have an adequate filter/pump system. If you have one of those that comes with a garden hose attachment then I'm afraid you're stuck. There simply isn't enough pump to properly maintain the pool, let alone vacuum it. Wish I had better news. But you get what you pay for.

Answer 3

i do not understand a lot about sand filters, yet i'd make optimistic that the sand become screening the dirt precise through reading the classes lower back making optimistic you probably did each little thing wisely. attempt to understand the way it extremely works so that you'll problem shoot it a lot less complicated. also, it will be new dirt if it become windy or in case you used the pool. i will bypass with this, because it really is an issue-free difficulty. i do not imagine it really is the filters fault, yet double verify.

Answer 4

if you have mounds of mud, garbage, sorry u have to scrape it & off haul it away first.

then use a wet dry vacuum
1) suck the dry stuff off first
2) the remaining ... wet the bottom with 1" water, then suck the rest off the murky water
3) do #2 a few time until you are happy

like this : -)

should do the trick.

Answer 5

You may need a stronger pump connected to your filter. Or try a wet/dry vac with a hose extension.

Answer 6

My aunt would make us all get in the pool and stir it up so it could run thru the filter lol
