How to Effectively and Safely Manually Vacuum Your Swimming Pool
To manually vacuum a pool, follow these steps: first, attach the vacuum head to the telescoping pole and connect one end of the hose to the vacuum head. Submerge the vacuum head and hose completely under water in the deep end of the pool and hold onto the other end of the hose to prevent air from entering it. Next, extend the pole to the furthest point in the pool and connect it to the skimmer basket. Finally, turn on the pump and move the vacuum head slowly and steadily around the bottom of the pool, being sure to overlap each pass by a few inches, until all the debris is removed.
