- Above Ground Pool Vacuum with Hose, 1-1/2 In x 24-Feet

Used this hose all summer and no problems. Flexible and good value. Tested and I would recommend

Great quality

We purchased the suction hose in may and have used it frequently since we been dealing with a lot of algae. The item arrived quick and in perfect condition. Once you get the hang of how to use it, it works wonderfully to suck & waste to get debris out from the bottom of the pool. It does have bristles on either side but if you are looking for a "brush" this isn't it. Because of the shape, brushing/scrubbing for things that are "caked" on this does not work well. Nevertheless for the vacuum portion I do recommend it, it works very well. Downfall, the plastic is not very durable, we leaned it against the fence and it slid and hit a brick. Instantly cracked the plastic, could we still use it...I guess, but for safety reasons we won't. I'm worried more pieces will break of and besides someone stepping on a piece it could cut our liner, and that would not be a cheap replacement. So I guess, if you are very careful and maybe don't have kids using it definitely is the tool to get the job done.

Read this if your Intex pool has turned green and you’re not sure what to do. I have an Intex above-ground pool that went green, and I quickly realized the standard Intex filter wasn’t going to cut it. So, the first thing I did was upgrade to a sand pump and filter. That helped, but not enough—the green was too far gone for the pump alone. At that point, I had two options: vacuum the green out or drain the pool. Draining felt pointless because the problem could just come back, so I decided to vacuum it out as cheaply as possible. I found a vacuum for $50. I figured there would be a bit of trial and error to get it working—and there was. If you want something plug-and-play, this might not be for you. The main issue I faced was that the return port on the pool seemed to be an odd size. I bought a 1.25” to 1.5” hose adapter, but it was about 2mm too big. Then I tried an Intex connector from a pool shop—it was slightly too small and too short to clamp properly. So I improvised. I cut down the original connector with snips, allowing it to compress slightly and fit better. I stuffed it into the intake port, and to my surprise—it worked. It’s not perfect, and I’m sure there’s a proper connector out there, but this DIY fix got the job done. Before vacuuming, make sure to leave your pool still overnight so all the algae settles to the bottom. When you’re ready, fully submerge your vacuum hose so it’s filled with water—this is crucial to avoid losing suction. Then, connect it to your DIY or proper adapter, attach the vacuum head, and fire up the pump. I vacuumed about 85% of the algae on the first go—just moved slowly and carefully. It took about 15 minutes. I repeated the process the next morning, and the pool is now clear. Total cost? • Vacuum: $50 • Connector: $13 • A bit of patience and effort: free And that’s it. It works—I promise! Be patient, and save yourself a bunch of money

The Secret is going very slow. I had a lot of algae on the bottom of my pool from two weeks of heave rain. The first time use it, I tried to run it like a vacuum cleaner, Back and forth at the speed of a house vac. It got a lot, but it stirred up a lot that settled back the next day. I did this for three days. Then I changed my approach. I held the pool pole straight up and down and went a snail pace. On the fourth day it got it all and on day 5 no algae. But I give it 5, it works great when you use it correctly.

Bought this last year. Used it all of 8 times. This year pulled it out to get the pool ready after adding all my chemicals. Went to start vacuuming then the top plastic piece broke. Now it’s sitting somewhere in the bottom of my pool. I would not waste your money. It works fine you do have to pull it up and clean the hose out of you have a little bit leaves.

Not the best. Honestly, just get in there with your skimming net. My husband and I spent so much time trying to vacuum all the leaves out the bottom of our above ground pool. After an hour alif vacuuming with this, we found that it was quicker and more efficient to get at the bottom with a net. Save your money.

Great quality

Great vacuum. It helped clear my pool very well. I needed a vacuum that didn’t need a hose. However I will say for an above ground pool i needed help to vacuum. Someone had the hold the vacuum’s hose. And the instructions are not clear.
