Sorry nobody told you before. It's an old, well-used and effective technique.

Yes it works very well, however we are experiencing a very odd problem, after we clear the air from the and connect the vacuum in the proper way with the adapter that was provided, with the Intex Maintenance Kit, the pressure on the pump/filter drops to zero. If we remove the basket from the skimmer that we purchased & hold the hose over the intake at the bottom of the skimmer the vacuum works fantastically, which involves someone standing outside the pool holding the hose in the skimmer body while someone else vacuums!!! Does anyone have any suggestions? Its almost as if the hose or adapter is too small to allow water through

Thanks in advance

You may WELL be crushing or blocking the hose somehow.
