I installed my AG pool at the end of last season and haven't been able to get the vacuuming down. I hook up my hose in my skimmer basket and start to vacuum but it just doesn't have the suction power. I have a Hayward 1.5hp pump. As soon as I hookup the hose you can see in the bubble cove on the pump that the water isn't flowing in as quick anymore. I am afraid I will ruin my pump. What am I doing wrong. Now when I got the pool the skimmer came with this insert that the hose attaches to to cover the basket. Is that maybe not air tight and causing my problem?
I got Diver Dave hoping this would help with my problems. I got him for other reasons as well. One thing I didn't try was take my basket out and use the rubber cone that came with Diver Dave and put it directly in the skimmer. The only problem is I cant twist my basket to get it out for some reason. I am thinking about cutting the basket and buying a new one.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
