How to Effectively Vacuum above Ground Pool to Waste: A Step-by-Step Guide
To vacuum an above ground pool to waste, first, lower the water level to the bottom of the skimmer. Then, attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum head and connect it to the skimmer inlet. Turn on the pump, and move the vacuum head back and forth across the pool floor, pushing all debris towards the drain. Once finished, turn off the pump and disconnect the vacuum equipment. Lastly, refill the pool with fresh water. This method is used to bypass the filter and discharge dirty water out of the pool.
