This would be a follow-up to the basics of pool maintenancewhen it comes to hooking up a vacuum. So whether you’re working with a robot pool cleaner like the Beatbot AquaSense2 Pro or a standard pool vacuum, getting your setup right ensures that you’ll get the best clean possible. In this guide, we’ll discuss how to hook up your vacuum cleaner for the pool and share tips for using manual and roboticpool cleaners.

Step 1: Selectingthe Right Vacuum for Your Pool

Before connecting your vacuum, you’ll need to ensure that you have the right equipment for yourtype of pool. However, this comes with a lot of responsibility, and to reduce effort, we need things like arobot pool cleaner or Beatbot iSkim Ultra. Perfect for busy pool owners, these swimming pool robot cleaners are built to clean the floors and walls of yourpool.

If you’re using a pool vacuum robot or a traditional vacuum powered by your pool’s filtration system, ensure it’s appropriate for the size and type ofyour pool. Manually operated setups typically offer skimmer vacuum heads and wall-climbing pool cleaners, but robotic pool vacuums arealways gaining in popularity for their automation features.

Step Two: Connectthe Pool Vacuum Hose

If you’re using manual pool vacuums, the next step is to attach thevacuum hose to your pool’s skimmer or suction port. So here’s how to doit right:

Water primes the hose: beforeyou connect it, ensure it’s full of water. This removes all air pockets so the suctionworks appropriately. To do this, submerge the hose in the pool until no air bubbles are left, then attach it to the skimmer or suctionport.

Connect the Hose: After creating the prime, connectthe hose to the skimmer or the vacuum cleaner port. If you’re working with a robot pool cleaner,the hose isn’t needed, as the robot will be self-sustaining, punching through the pool’s filtration system.

Step 3: Install the poolfilter

You may need to change your pool filter for the vacuum towork correctly. Many pool vacuums require setting the filter to “filter” mode sothat debris flows through and gets picked up by the filter system. If your pool is equipped with a booster pump, it can provide extra suction power, increasing your vacuum’s efficiency.

Before you use the vacuum, ensure thefilter system is clean and not clogged. This guarantees that the pool robotic poolcleaner or manual vacuum can work at its best.

Step 4 — Start theVacuuming Process

Now that your vacuumis correctly connected, is it time to begin cleaning and using apool cleaning robot? Just drop it into the pool and let it do its work. Robotic swimming pool cleaners likeBeatbot AquaSense 2 move freely throughout the pool to clean walls, floors, and the waterline and require no assistance.

If using amanual pool vacuum:

Starting at oneend of the pool, slowly cross the whole pool floor.

When you push the vacuum forward, do so slowly and methodically, making sure the head is alwaysin contact with the surrounding surface. This ensures maximum debris pickup.

Don’trush—going too fast can kick up debris and keep things from getting clean.

Step 5: Inspect and Clean theSkimmer and Filter

Once you’redone vacuuming, you must also clean the skimmer and the pool filter. Vacuuming disturbs a lot of debris, which can clogyour filter or skimmer basket. It is also important that debris does not build up in these areas to ensure proper water flow.

Clear any internal filters and brushes following each use with robotic pool cleaners like the Hayward BeatbotiSkim Ultra.

Step 6:Regular Cleaning and Vacuuming

The most important partof maintaining a clean pool is regular vacuuming. If you have a robot pool, you can program it to clean your poolautomatically at certain times, so you don’t have to do it yourself. If you’re manually vacuuming your pool, expect to do itweekly or more often if it gets a lot of use.

Bonus Tip: Does APool Robot Get Rid Of Algae?

If you have algae in your pool, you might bewondering whether a robot pool cleaner like the Maytronics pool cleaner or the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro will do the trick! Mostrobotic cleaners do well picking up small debris, but algae sometimes need to be treated further. If the algae still stubbornly persists, use a pool vacuum foralgae together with a chemical treatment before vacuuming.

If the algae is particularly tenacious, you may need further measures, such as acid washing, to get your pool back to itscleanest.

Your pool may not be clean easily with the propersetup.

Properly hooking up your pool vacuum ensures effective and efficient cleaning. Whether you’re automating pool cleaning using a robot pool cleaner like the Beatbot AquaSense 2 or prefer a manual vacuum cleaner system, adequate adherence to the right steps is all it takes tokeep your pool sparkling and ready to swim in.

If you arelooking for a comfortable cleaning solution that requires little effort to maintain your pool, a swimming pool robot cleaner such as the Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro is your best bet. Remember to cleanyour skimmer, pool filter, and vacuum for the most successful results.
