How do I connect my pool broom vacuum to my skimmer?

In most cases, a pool vacuum plugs into your pool's return outlet , or a suitable hose that will be connected to your pool's multiport valve.

Regardless of this part, always start by placing your multiport valve in filtration mode. After that, you will connect your telescopic pool handle to the vacuum hose (and sometimes broom), you will also need to clip this floating hose and the broom vacuum onto your telescopic handle.

Two situations in a swimming pool:

  • Connect the vacuum cleaner to a broom socket. Before using the broom socket, we advise you to check that the broom socket is working. Then screw on the vacuum cleaner hose or clip it on.
  • Plug the vacuum cleaner into a "skimmer" outlet. If you do not have a broom socket, you can, after removing the basket from your skimmer, connect the hose from your pool's vacuum cleaner to the hose from your skimmer. There are also complete skimvac-type systems. To optimize the suction power, we recommend that you close the main drain and the other evacuations that go to the pump to improve the suction power.

Can't connect your stick vacuum to your skimmer? The swimming pool has not been designed to connect a broom vacuum cleaner? Does it bother you? You can also use a pondovac type above-ground pool vacuum cleaner.

This vacuum allows you to directly suck up waste from the bottom and remove deposits from the bottom of your pool. You will actually lose some water, but it's quick and effective. The pond & swimming pool vacuum cleaner is an essential and often effective cleaning accessory for cleaning ponds.

Advantages of a pond vacuum cleaner?

  • Brush off the biofilm
  • Vacuum directly on the bottom without handling the filtration system
  • Acts directly on the dirtiest areas of the pool

If you have a swimming pool filtration system . Be sure to read the instructions carefully because sometimes the terms are not the same as in this guide.
