You still got 10 minutes to go on your 1/2 hr full day of work.

Just a suggestion for filling the vacuum hose with water, if you hold the connection end of your vacuum hose over your pool jet, the water coming out of the jet will push the air out of the vacuum hose in a few seconds. The only issue is that it will sometimes cause the handle to push out into the pool.

"A pool is just a hole in the ground that one pours money into." Amen, brother! Gonna build me one of this next month!

VEVOR Cartridge Pool Filter, 50Sq. Ft Filter Area Maximum Water Flow 3000 GPH. And VIVOHOME 2.0 HP Max. Flow rate is 6800 GPH . Are they working fine together ?

I’ve had my pool for 21 years now. A few years ago I saw these filter stations on wheels the pros use. But they’re a couple grand. Thanks to your video I found a way to make my own for $300. Found a good deal on a 25sf canister filter. Kind of small, we’ll see how often I have to clean it. Doesn’t really matter, only going to use this in the spring and summer. 🎉

Why add extra equipment when you already have it. I just added a by pass valve to my equipment to divert the water, not to my main filter. But directly into a drain that goes to the the street. So much cheaper.

[@Sleepy4life]

add a check valve between the hose and pump and it's 5x easier to prime and when you clean pump filter you dont have to reprime

[@champsfims]

does the water go directly into the pump unfiltered and then from the pump into a filter. isnt it bad to expose the pump to the dirt?

[@NoneyaTexasontheback20]

With cost of chemical and time I find it easier and better just to hire a pool guy 😂.

[@40arpent]

For priming, I would try making the pipe between the pump and filter lower and add a tee with a valve facing upward. This would allow to fill the system with water from there with a hose and purge any air in the pipes in theory.

Great job and tips Scott. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed day my friend.

Oh my Gosh, I wish I was in Texas for a few weeks right now. I am tired of the snow or frost, or cold rain. Don't have a pool, but there is maintenance for sure on a pool. I never heard if you guys ever use the pool, besides the dogs, lol. Great job on the pool maintenance and how to get the pump/cleaner primed and cleaned up.

[@southtexashay777]

Nice setup Scott. They do work well and easy to clean and back into action. Have a great week.

[@alindfw7767]

Thank you for posting this for me Scott. Truely appreciated. I'm now wondering if I bought an above ground pump instead of an inground since mine is so difficult to prime. I did buy a check valve from HD a few hours ago and changed a few pieces on it, so I'll be back out there in the morning giving it another go. Thank you again for taking the time to post this video!

[@KenCardarelli]

So glad you did the follow-up video with full explanation. I made the same rig but used a clear check valve which holds more water and makes priming easier. Your videos are great and you are to be commended for taking us through the build and vacuuming procedure. Well done!

[@jerrymeeuwse4957]

Howdy Scott, Watched this video a couple of times and I must say, I really like it. I'm in the same boat. I sent you a message at Haritage Farms with a couple questions. Thanks so much.

[@AmandaDoll-hi4dr]

Hi Scott, i like your swimming pool. Nice job

[@Kay-jk2gi]

Thnx for sharing! What types of auto robot cleaners were you using before this? Abt how long did they last you and what did they cost you?

[@Drifter5.7]

That's pretty handy. I always wanted a pool, but in my neighbor's yard so I can swim then leave LOL. You keep the pool nice so so you can enjoy it when needed most. How well does that skim out dog hair ?

[@jasonbuiui6873]

Hey Scott, is there anyway you can provide a video on the wiring, I am building my own vacuum at the moment and not sure how to approach it. Thanks!
