They sell a cheap suction/vacuum at hot tub stores. It is made of pvc pipe and you attach it to a garden hose and put a nylon on the end of it, turn on the hose and it sucks up all the crap in the bottom of a pool and collects it in the nylon. It works really well.

You are pretty much stuck. Those alleged filter systems aren't strong enough to operate a manual vacuum. Short of purchasing an additional pool pump for vacuuming there isn't any way out. Sorry.
Score another one for Wally World.

I would purchase a hand operated pump and attach a hose at bottom to place and direct at bottom of pool. The discharge end can be just place over a fine mesh screen like a pool net or cheese cloth. You can get this done for under $50.00

Invest in a pool cleaning kit, it should come with a handle and many attachments. Including a vaccum that is run off of watere pressure. Sun and Sand makes the one I am referring to, sold at walmart

They sell pool vacuum cleaners which should be used regularly anyway.
