In this way, do you remove skimmer basket when vacuuming pool?
YES, you need to remove the skimmer or strainer basket before attaching the open end of the hose to the inlet. Finally, plug the open vacuum hose into the suction port.
Likewise, people ask, how do I vacuum the suction on my above ground pool?
If the suction is too strong, making it difficult to move the vacuum, then adjust the suction with the two air-relief valves on the top of the vacuum head. If the suction is too weak, close the air valves.

How do you vacuum a pool with a skimmer?

How does a pool vacuum work for above ground pool?
Above ground pool, vacuums and inground cleaners work the same way. Both harness the suction from your pool’s filter system to suck dirt out of the pool. The brush head is used to scrape and scour the dirt, algae, and debris off the underwater surfaces.
How much suction should a pool skimmer have?
You should aim for a water level about 1/2 to 2/3 up the opening of the skimmer. Too low and you start to get gurgling sounds which are telling you that your pump is working way too hard at trying to keep the water flowing.
Should skimmers have suction?
When your pool skimmer has no suction, the cause is most likely a blockage. This can put the entire filtration system of the pool into question, as there will be low water pressure.
What setting do you use to vacuum an above ground pool?
For routine vacuuming, the filter valve is left in the normal “Filter” position. This directs dirty vacuum water through the pool filter to remove the contaminants, then conveys filtered water through return lines back to the pool. The “Filter” setting is used for light to moderate levels of pool sediment.
