How to Vacuum to Waste: A Complete Guide for Clean and Clear Pool Water
To vacuum to waste, first, ensure that your pool’s water level is below the skimmer. Then, attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum head and lower it into the pool until it hits the bottom. Next, connect the other end of the hose to the waste port on the filtration system, turn the pump on, and start vacuuming the pool. As you vacuum, the dirty water will flow out through the waste port and into the drain, bypassing the filter system, until the pool is clean. Finally, turn off the pump and remove the vacuum head and hose from the pool and turn the filter system back to the normal setting.
