You are very limited if you don’t have a filter with the waste option. Possibly use a long hose and create a siphon.

@@anthonyfortier3924ey there I had replaced my Hayward pump because it stopped working but actually I realized a year later because I didn’t throw it away, that the old pump was still working. So as this guy did in the video I had extra water in the pool, then I had my hoses hooked up to the old pump, had the pump sucking the water out of the pool as I vacuumed and just shot the water out the pump toward a downhill slope into a drain. It worked. I just created my own pool pump that sat outside the pool and I didn’t use the pool pump connected to the entire pool system or filtration system. If you have the hoses and you have the vacuum piece, and you have an additional pump you can do the same thing. My pool is in-ground, huge 32,000 gallon, in the backyard of a home that was built in 1950, and then an addition to the home was added in the 1970’s. I’m not sure how old the pool is itself, but manage it the best I can. This year 2023 I’m repainting it. Always lots to do…

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!! I had a large splash super pool for 15 years zero problems keeping it cleaned, it had a large cartridge filter with a 1.25hp pump. I took it down a few years ago and this year got a Costco Bestway 12'x22' with the sand filter. Having pool knowledge I started this up and treated it like normal, and like you I could not clear up the cloudiness. I went to 2 different local pool shops and they were ZERO help and hardly friendly. You would think being in the pool business for years they could offer some help, I personally have always tried to do local business, yes I know the prices are way more than online, but I have always felt being able to pick their brains for years of knowledge was with the extra costs, sadly they were off-putting. I installed the Hayward skimmer and did the floc treatment at the same time. The floc worked as you showed, a huge thanks!!!!!! The Hayward skimmer is also way better, my pool is circulating water much better, and the vacuum attachment is better. Huge thanks again 👍🏻

Flocs work great, but the reason for all the particles in the water is a circulation and filtration issue. You want the entire contents of the pool to be filtered at least once per day. So make sure your filter is always clean so that your system is moving enough water each day. Have a great swim season! - 20+ year inground pool industry experience.

Run your water hose at the same time you vacuum to waste to not loose too much water. Good video

I live in SC where its hot and humid and loads of rain at one time. My pool came with the built in filter return pump which worked great until it got super hot for weeks on end. Save yourself the headache and get a sand filter pump if you have long periods of high temps. The little paper filter pump does great but isn't the best for hot climates and you'll end up with an algae problem sooner or later. Plus you will find a sand filter pump will get you more power for the vac. Well worth a couple hundred more dollars. Make sure to shock weekly or twice a week. When your chlorine levels are low algae will grow.

That’s incorrect you can use floc but you have to take the filter out and use the vacuum adapter for your pool (may have to get separately) then the (out) hose on the filter housing that puts the water back into the pool needs to be disconnect which would create a waste disposal. Just find something to plug the hole in the pool where the water comes back in.

When I started using granulated floc years ago, another pool owner advised me to remove the vacuum head, and just to tape the hose on slightly past the sharp edge of the pole. I've never used the brush head since, even during the course of regular vacuuming. For some reason it ups the suction power, and this method picks up a much wider area of the floc debris, or anything else....really quickly so less patience and time is required.

Great video!

My d e filter needed to be cleaned. Pressure never went up. Cleaned it anyway. Perfect now.

Clarifier still works if the ph level is stable. All clarifier does is helps small debris particles to bind together and make it large enough for the filter to pick up. It can take the clarifier multiple days to do its job sometimes though and you may need to repeat the process multiple times, but if your in no hurry to get into the pool clarifier is a lot easier.

Thanks for this video! My pool looks just like this for like the past 4 weeks and the pool store kept telling me the floc at their store was too powerful for my size pool - I have the 18x48. I am going to go there and get some now and hopefully be able to see my bottom for the 1st time in 4 weeks.

Three things: 1) Make sure your filter is on recirculate before putting floc in. If you don't have a multiport valve, then floc is generally a bad idea, and you probably don't need it anyway. 2) The recommended dosage of floc is usually for a moderately cloudy pool. For a very cloudy pool like yours was, you should double the dose at least. 3) If your pool is cloudy due to a PH problem, you should use PH Down or acid to fix the problem. Clarifiers aren't for fixing PH problems. They're coagulants, just like floc, they just take longer to work but don't require vacuuming. They might also lower PH some, depending on the brand I suppose, but just because you dumped clarifier in and didn't see a response overnight doesn't mean you don't have a PH problem. Also, clarifiers can take up to a week or so to clear a pool depending on how good your filter is. And again, the recommended dose is for moderately cloudy pools. Use more for a very cloudy pool.

Thank you very much, I’ve worked hard on it. Three years ago it was a weed infested jungle lol

appreciate it :)

I'm having the same issue, pool supply store employees keep telling me to shock it, I've shocked it twice already and this is driving me nuts because I normally have crystal clear water so I'm gonna try this

What pool vacuum is that? Your whole pool setup with the pvc pipes is a great idea. I will be sure to look up your video about it.

I just purchased! A solar ionizer for less chlorine use and algae

I put ph down in, and it cleared the pool immediately where I threw it in. Thought good, its working. Went out, came home, and pool cloudy again. Grrr! So trying this. I think this is the problem. Thank you. We tried everything else. And nothing worked.

I get my kids to run around the pool to create a whirlpool, then make them get out for 10 minutes and all the dust and debris gathers in the middle of the pool in one pile ,quick vacuum, job done.

Thanks for this video! First time having cloudy water. Probably because we left it uncovered and had to start with cleaning a green, swampy pool! Waiting for the lizard man to pop out of that mess! Our pool is 27 round and it’s very hard to reach but so far and clean from the deck and keep the brush on the floor to move slow. I’ve even used a ladder to try and reach the where there’s no pool deck and still having trouble. Would my robot work or you think it will stir up too much?

My sand filter doesn't have a "waste" setting so I vacuumed using a siphon on my hose by filling with water and throwing about 6-10 feet of my hose out and it cuts down on water movement

That is a great idea. I have done that a few times and it works great with losing a lot less water.

My pool has been cloudy for a week now and I'm so frustrated. Thanks for this video. Can you do on one getting the vacuum to work? I don't seem to have enough suction on my vaccuum...

Science to the rescue. Google 'SLAM troublefreepool' and read about how testing, patience and balanced water can set you free. I spent a month coming close to losing my mind over a cloudy pool and this approach truly works.
