INTEX POOL CLEANER ( VACUUM ) Does the Intex Pool Cleaner really work? We put it to the test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 тра 2020
- We put the The Intex Pool Cleaner a.k.a. pool vacuum to the test to see if it really works. It was our second time using it so we were still in the learning stages. Although we keep a fairly clean pool already, it did the job in picking up the debris at the bottom of the pool which included leaves, pine straw, sediment, algae etc...
INTEX AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER
amzn.to/3qerLWq
The Pros -
I. It definetly picks debris up off the bottom of the pool.
2. The jets are good at blowing debris as it moves into one area for bulk pick up.
3. It is easy to set up, just turn off the pump remove the intake discharge cap and screw it on, drop the vacuum first into the pool and feed the hose in a little at a time.
The Cons -
1. Sometimes it stops and for some reason just doesn't get moving again. You don't always feel like you can let it go without checking on it.
2. Sometimes when you are removing the vacuum debris can come out of the vacuum if you don't remove a certain way and we never figured it out the correct way to remove it fast enough.
3. This vacuum is for Intex above ground pools only.
4. It takes up some room for storage, The hoses are long and the cleaner is a little heavy so it takes about 2 to 3 feet of height and width of storage space.

najbolji odnos cene i kvaliteta ja sam presrecan i jako zadovoljan sa njim!!!
I love it now!! His video is far the best!
I'm so glad I came across this video. I bought one of these vacuums last year and was hooking it up to the suction and it wouldn't work. I guess it helps to not assume and actually read directions. Thanks for this very informative video!
You're welcome
Thank you sooo much for your video, I got my exact vacuum running perfectly. ❤
Glad it helped!
This is very useful helps a lot
We have this vaccum and absolutely love it!
Very nice video, thanks man!
Thanks!
Im actually using mine right now. Ive had it for almost 5 years & works great! We have a sand filter & sand got in my pool. Unable to get it with the net this thing does the job. I definitely recommend it. Great vid
Thank you and We actually sold ours only because we prefer to do manual vacuuming Believe it or not but I'm glad that it's worked for you for so long!
@@MoverandShaker you're welcome:) stay safe
How you set up your sand pump on filter
Take a look at our video about setting up the sand filter pump
I like mine also, definitely have to learn the pros and cons of it, and work it when you have time to check it often
True. For us, we just felt like it took so long to get what we could probably get manually in about ten minutes, however, it is really good for getting the white silt off the bottom or any floating pieces light green fungus.
Easy to use and clean. Very convenient.

Love love this video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Does it get the flaps where the side seam meets the bottom where dirt likes to gather?
what is the model number on this one with the 2" swivel hose? the 28001e has a 1.5" and no swivel so it tangles
Nice .
I could see this picking up leaves and stuff but what about fine sand and silt? I have a hand held device and it comes right out the other end of the filter sleeve.
This automatic vacuum did pick up the silt and sand however, it took too long to get the entire pool for our preference. We prefer the Intex Rechargeable stick vac or the Intex Deluxe Maintenance vacuums hands down. Quick and very thorough!
Hello again, what size and brand are your plunger valves? Did they come with your pool or did you have to replace them? Thanks again
They are inch and a half and they come with the pool
I wanted to leave a comment here for "bestway" owners, i have a bestway and i purchased this pump, it WILL connect to the default outlet that the pool comes with (the 1.25" one) but the flowrate on the pump mine came with is only 800gal, and this needs 1600 so you'll need to upgrade your pump to get it to work :)
Ty
Thanks for your video. Do you take down the pool during the winter? Im about to put up my 15ft x 48” this saturday.
No. My husband would not have that. We purchased a high quality cover, a winter pillow and the pool saran style wrap and a winterizing kit. We didn't do a video on that but we will this winter. The water ended up crystal clear when we opened it. The pump and hoses of course were put indoors. Everything turned out just fine. Our lows are in the low teens to 20's
@@MoverandShaker cool. looking forward to that video. i will enjoy this summer first then :-)
Does it come w all the adapters -etc to run the vacuum?? Ready to go out of the box once you put together -etc/?
Yes, the intex pool cleaner does come with everything you need to hook it up to the Intex pool. If you would like to view the manual in advance to read how everything works and what the parts look like, here is the link intexcorp.com/products/above-ground-pools/pool-accessories/maintenance-cleaning/auto-pool-cleaner/ once you get to this page click 2020 Auto cleaner manual. It will download a PDF version to your desktop or phone if you have a pdf reader on there
It looks as if you have the salt system for your pool. Can you run this vacuum during it's regular cycle or only on filter pump mode? Just bought this vacuum and trying to figure it all out.
'We don't have a SALT WATER System (yet) so I could not advise you on that. We do use the vacuum cleaner on filter pump mode. My husbands opinion is that it would perfectly fine but you may want to consult with You Tube user Home Skillet for that question. He has both a saltwater chlorinator and the intex cleaner vacuum
A couple of questions: 1- we have an area that the vacuum doesn’t like to go to. Any ideas why? And 2- when we pick it up to take out out of the pool there is stuff trapped in it (not under the mesh I don’t think?) and it flows back into the pool. Any way to avoid that?
Can't explain why the vacuum will not go in certain places the pool may be a little unlevel or divets in the liner. The only thing I may suggest when pulling out the vacuum cleaner is put a net underneath of it to try to catch as much debris possible that's the only way we could get it out all at 1 time. We weren't happy with ours over time, we felt manusl vacuuming works much better so it is good to have options. We have a new portable vacuum that we will be doing video on but we have since gotten rid of the Intex Pool Cleaner.
This is so awesome. Does it come with the adapter that attaches to the outlet that hooks to the vacuum hose?
Yes it does. In fact if you want to read over the manual ahead of time and see the parts list, I have attached the link for you. Them manual is a downloadable PDF.
intexcorp.com/products/above-ground-pools/pool-accessories/maintenance-cleaning/auto-pool-cleaner/
Also, you can typically purchase this Pool cleaner on Amazon, here but it's been pricey this summer due to the most popular pool season ever due to COVID-19 and so many people being at home.
amzn.to/2YV8DRY I have seen prices from $80 all the way to $200. Right now it looks priced at $124.
I have a Intex summers wave elite pool and trying to hook up the Intex pool vacuum but it doesn’t screw in any suggestions thanks!
Intex does not make Summer Waves pools. Your pool is made by Polygroup. I am sorry but I am not familiar with the Summer Waves pool set up only how Intex products work on the Intex pool itself. I can recommend this video I found on you tube that may help you see that they are using 1.5 inch hoses and the Intex plunger valves ua-cam.com/video/6JYKZpQlbS0/v-deo.html
I’ve had one for about a year, works great. I got
a valve by the pump so I don’t have too hook and unhook. I stop the pump and switch the valve one to the other😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ingenious. Great tip!!
what setting do you use on the pump when using the vacuum? Thanks for this great video!
Normally use filter however, sometimes I will use to waste if there's a lot of junk in the pool. Just remember that using waste will drain your pool fairly quickly.
Does this vacuum work with the Intex soft side pools. I think mine is the xtr and it doesn’t have metal sides
Yes It is an intex product for intex pools you just have to make sure that it has the Correct pump gph requirements to run properly. It tells you on the intex website under the product specs.
Am o supposed to feel suction near the brushes underneath because I don’t. Only the water jet coming out the back
It has to be submerged in the water for the suction to work properly and in motion.
What kind of hose are you using.
The one that came with my vacuum gets tangled up really bad
We were using the same hose that comes with that Pool Cleaner that you are using probably. So it comes with multiple sections for lengths up to 24 feet so if your pool is only 18ft like our pool you only need enough of the sections to stretch across the pool. You may just have too many sections attached.
What should the pump setting be on because when mines is on filter it doesn't work well But when I change settings to recirculation it works better still not well well... Am I doing something wrong?
We have never used recirculate ever. I would double check and make sure everything is snug on all of your connections. Do you have the strainer hold plug inserted into the #2 slot on the inside of the pool? I know that helps us improve suction on the skimmer for better filtration. Also make sure you have backwashed. That can affect the pumps performance. YOu also want to make sure your pump is sufficient enough for your size pool.
I have to ask… I have a stick vac for my pool but I was looking into getting this to clean the bugs out… Is it really worth it?
I have a 12 inch intex sand pump which pushes the minimum requirement for this vacuum.
We did purchase one and use it a few times, but we personally felt the stick vac and the deluxe maintenance vac kit did a much better and thorough job because you could pin point where you need it. It does do good for any sand you may have on the bottom of the liner but bugs...not for us. We rely on our skimmer for bugs. We put a stocking around our skimmer basket too so that whatever goes through that basket does not go through it. LOL A lot of times we jump in and use a net and just go round and round for five minutes to get any surface stuff and then we are good to go. The rest is taken care of every couple of days just doing general vacuuming. I don't think the vacuum is going to do it's best job with the minimum requirement pump.
Your hose seem to have rotating connectors so the hose doesn’t get tangled. Where can I find them? I’ve been looking and can’t seem to find them anywhere.
Those hoses you see on the pool cleaner come with the pool cleaner. I don't think they are available to be purchased seperately however, this longer length hose may be of interest to you. amzn.to/35Ttbx1
I absolutely love mine it stops to think as you said and backs up and goes around it takes a while to make its own type of learning system or so it seems. So after I removed the ladder it kept catching on it makes a full circle around the edge of the pool now along with back and forth to walls and then back around the edge and I don’t have to clean mine out for days. New model tho is one hose system no way I returned it ASAP n got this one but is same model number so FYI b sure you getting multiple hoses
Does the 1 hose system not work as well?
1 hose system ??
WHAT SETTING ON THE PUMP DO YOU USE WHILE THE POOL CLEANER IS IN THE POOL?
Putting it on FP allows you to not have to sit there and watch it like a Hawk vs setting a time frame unless you have a lot of wrinkles in your liner then it could stop moving
Did you have any issues with the fittings from the vacuum to the pool .
No we did not.
Quick question I have same intex vaccum , but it won’t move at all . It has stock pump filter that it came with. Would I have to upgrade filter if so which would recommend my pool is 18x48
It needs a pump that runs 1600 to 3500 gph. Ours is 3000 gph in the video.
@@MoverandShaker thanks for the response also can you make a video on how you do maintenance on pool keeping it mint. Thanks
I bought this unit for my Coleman/Bestway 22 foot pool and it did work with my pool/pump, however it would stop about every 30 seconds. I would have to take it out and clean the filter because it would get clogged and the unit would stop. I cleaned the filter then it would run again. I like the vacuum, but if I kept it I really don't want to clean it every 5 minutes.
Yes -The Intex Cleaner does stop and seems to act like it's thinking sometimes for about 30 seconds like you said but then keeps moving again. We never had it clogged to the point where it stopped. We were impressed with the silt it picked up and pinestraw on the bottom of the pool. Overall we decided to continue to use the Intex Deluxe Maintenance Vacuum kit because you can pinpoint quickly where you want to pick up and then if you want to vacuum more thoroughly then you can continue to do the rest. We think it's just overall faster in the long run. Of course you would be giving up convenience.
If it bumps the walls first it’s supposed to do that
We have a coleman also how did you get it to fit? Our outtake hoke is to little
Hi, thanks for these videos. I got my deluxe skimmer up and running following your video on that! It doesn't seem to suck the debris from across the pool, but when stuff is near the skimmer it definitely gets it so it should be a help when I can't be out there skimming the pool. I got a free intex auto vacuum from Facebook so I am going to see if all the pieces are there and try that next from your video. I just also ordered the intex deluxe maintenance kit in case the auto vac doesn't work well. You said in one of the comments you liked that vacuum as well? The intex vacuum I have now requires hooking the hose up so it's a bit of a pain. the deluxe uses the filter so hopefully that will help. I get a lot of debris because I have a lot of trees. Just wondering if you also liked your vacuum that came in the deluxe maintenance kit. Sorry for the long post :(
Yes for 3 years, the Deluxe maintenance kit has been our number one choice to vacuum our pool and recently last season we found out that if you are in the pool twirling a poolnet around in a circle it will bring everything to a centerpoint and then you can just vacuum it up quickly from the bottom. This year we haven't opened our pool just yet because the weather has been raining and 56. We found that the automatic pool cleaner was just OK if you need to verify if you have all the parts go on to the intex website find the same pool cleaner and you can download the manual then you'll be able to verify that. Make sure you have your black strainer hole plug in the opposite hole next to the strainer and also make sure the skimmers blue top is floating slighy where the water passes over it.
Will this work with a Intex Krystal Clear Sand Filter Pump for Above Ground Pools, 10-inch, 110-120V with GFCI
Unfortunately, It needs a pump that runs 1600-3500 GPH in order to work, the bigger the better. I believe the 10" runs 1200 GPH but double check your manual for your model. We actually ended up selling ours because honestly we can get more done faster and looking better in about 15 minutes, doing it manually with either the Intex handheld vacuum amzn.to/3v5ThqU or the Intex Delux Maintenance Kit amzn.to/2Tcprnj seen here on Amazon although prices are high right now on everything still because of COVID. You may be able to locate it being sold by other sellers from time to time on Amazon other than just Intex on Amazon.
What brand of pool sand are you using? My filter that connects to the pool discharge gets plugged and the vacuum stops working...
Occasionally you do need to make sure the strainer basket gets cleaned out but making sure there is no aIr in the line is important, having the required pump gph to move that cleaner is important and if you have any big wrinkles in the bottom of the liner could be am issue. I will be honest. Manually is faster and more thorough. We alternate the Intex deluxe maintenance kit vac and the hand held rechargeable Intex vac. We used Aqua Quartz sand brand. For our Intex Sand Filter Pump Intex recommends to use No. 20 Silica Sand or Glass Sand with a particle size range of 0.45 to 0.85 and a uniformity coefficient less than 1.75 This is the one that we used on this link. amzn.to/3wXjp8Bamzn.to/3wXjp8B
@@MoverandShaker thank you!
I bought a index vacuum filter I cannot find the connector. Can you tell me where you got yours and where I can find one? Index does not sell it. Thank you!
Do you mean an Intex Pool Cleaner? Like pictured in this video? If so Intex does make parts for it. You can find the parts and parts for any Intex equipment by going to the Intex website look up your Intex Pool Cleaner or any other equipment and download the manual to view the parts list. Then you can find the part on Amazon or eBay. You called it an Intex Vacuum Filter and I am not sure if that is what you were referring to.
When you turn the pump on to start the vacuum, what sis you out pump on? Filter?
I don't understand the second part of your question after the comma.
Where did you get the couplings for the hoses?
Those came with the Intex pool. Most pool sizes come with 8 total but the 14' and 15" models only come with 4. The part numbers are on page 8 of the Intex Pool manual. If you don't have a manual go the Intex website and look up your model pool and download the manual. It will be a PDF.
I need help we got one and we have an intex pool but on the discharge jet they grey attachment won’t connect.
I have never heard of anyone having connection issues before at all.. Are you talking about the part # 11239 hose adapter ? If so, it just screws on. It's a threaded part. You have to remove or unscrew your pools intake part first of course in order to attach it. If it still won't go on perhaps they sent the wrong adapter with the kit? It's hard to know without seeing what you have.
@@MoverandShaker Well where it screws into the return, (the jet) the threads on they fret attachment aren’t the correct ones? It will not screw on.
Where can I get the vacuum lines with the A-B-C contectors as opposed to a 24" straight hose. Intex has been no help.
Those hoses are exclusive to the Pool cleaner so what you want to do is go to the intex website look up the pool cleaner and then look at the download manual tab open up the tab Open the PDF document and grab the part numbers from the drawing and part list and then either call intex and order the apartment numbers or try to find it online somewhere but it probably is not possible
Why would you think there would be trash in your filter after using this vacuum hooked up to the jet?
It's always good after any vacuuming to backwash a pump because the residual in this particular case that may fall back into the pool on removal of the cleaner goes in the sand filter. In my description I mentioned that as a con because we haven't quite mastered being able to pull the vacuum cleaner completely out of the pool without some residual trash falling back into the pool we can't be fast enough. lol
Does it come with that adapter? Or is it sold separately?
Comes with
Your pool look sooo clear..how or wat chemicals do u use?? Mine really cloudy grrr..
For some reason and I have no idea why I just saw your comment even though we respond to comments daily so I apologize. We don't use chemicals in our pool anymore it's a salt water pool so the salt water chlorinator makes chlorine and we clean our pool daily. It's kind of like exercise for us and put us in a zone but at the same time were in the pool cleaning and having fun. So overall The Secret to the water is just keeping up with anything that you need to clean and a salt water system that makes it maintenance free and I can't tell you how much money we have saved not having to buy all kinds of chemicals to struggle to keep the pool balanced. From now on it just stays balanced
U didnt show or said nothing about how to put gage on the pump . do u leave it on filter or back wash , recirculate, or Waste?
how to put the gage on the pump Answer: the gage is attached to the pump direct from the Manufacturer. You don't have to put it on the pump. Do you leave it on filter or backwash, recirculate or waste? When vacuuming it is always on Filter.
If it’s on the outlet to the pool then there should be no need to backwash the pump since none of the debris is not going into the pump???
Backwashing referring as part of the general steps of maintaining your pool and we generally do that after vacuuming because sometimes it stirs stuff up and into the skimmer that was settled on the bottom.
Can this work for a Bestway 13/14 ft above ground pool ?
Sorry your question went into a different place in our You tube Studio comments. We are not sure. We have never owned a BestWay pool so we can't tell you that with confidence.
I bought one and at first it runs and within minutes it has stopped. So I take out and look to see if needs cleaning or if clogged up. Nothing. I put back in pool, runs for a minute then stops. Any suggestions?! I love it when it does move but then it just stops. Also when I pull it out some of the debris falls back into the pool.
That sounds pretty normal to me. It has a mind of it's own. It can sit there a few minutes and then just start running out of nowhere. You just have to let it do it's thing. It really doesn't have a normalized pattern, it goes in a many different directions over a long period of time. Just when you think it's completely stopped it will start moving again. We also could never figure out how you prevent the debris from falling back into the pool no matter how you pull it out. It is a science we haven't learned just yet either. Since yours is so new I am not positive yours has any problem yet. It may just take a little more time for you to get used to everything or do some research. That Intex pool cleaner was our first pool cleaner purchase, we have since tried others and we still like the one that is not automatic, which is the deluxe maintenance kit. That thing picks up everything, quickly and the only drawback is, you have to do the work but it doesn't take long but I wouldn't give up just yet. I am curious what size pump you have?
@@MoverandShaker I have a Intex Krystal Clear sand pump. Wish I could take pic of specifications for you. It is a SF90110-1, pump 0.25 he, turnover rate 1,050 GPH and pool size min 2,800 gal to max 8,400 gal. I have a 16x48 pool. The pump and vacuum is new. There have been days i will hook up and come back in a hr and still in same place. I love the vacuum and want to use. Thank you responding.
o.k. that makes better sense to me. Take a look at this with regards to flow rate requirements. I would return it, if you don't have the box, it will be an easy sell. I sold mine very quickly on Offer Up for not much more than what I paid for it. www.intexcorp.com/products/above-ground-pools/pool-accessories/maintenance-cleaning/auto-pool-cleaner/
@@MoverandShaker sell the vaccum? So I don't have enough hp? Is that what you're telling me? Thank you for your help
@@debiwilliams9180 You said your pump has a turnover rate of 1050 GPH. The intex Pool cleaner requires 1600 to 3500 GPH so in a nutshell - yes, you don't have the required horsepower to operate this Intex pool cleaner. which explains your trouble. We have a 3000 GPH so even with us it stops for extended periods of time but with yours it's barely able to even start moving.
Does it suck up the all the dirt on the bottom of the pool?
It does a better than average job but we still prefer the INTEX Deluxe maintenance kit vac hands down for quick and thorough cleaning but manual of course. This one stops a lot for long periods of time and wastes a lot of time not moving as fast as we would like. We are going to try out the automatic Intex VAC Stick version this weekend. Stay tuned for that video.
Its a shame they don't tell you to connect it to the pump outlet, I actully sent one back for an exchange because I thought it was broken and was getting ready to send the replacement back until I saw your video. thank you.
You're welcome. Sorry for your trouble. Best of luck!
What are the gray things you have around the top of the pool?
Are you talking about pool's post holders about every 2 ft? or something else?
Yes the post holds on the rim of the pool.
Hi i have a bestway pool does anyone know what connector i need
we wish we did. We don't about anything Bestway at least not yet!
I’m not sure how or why but mines is not screwing off to put the vacuum on it, do you know if it gets harder after it sits out in the sun for a long time?
It's the discharge side, the farthest left. There should be no reason why it does not come off. The middle one has a screw capability and there may be a screw in them on the middle one but you should not be using that at all.
Mover and Shaker it is the far left I’m using but not sure why it’s not coming apart. Thanks I’ll have to see if I can replace it because the pump been set up for over a year now and not sure if that’s the reason why.
@@kyndaclarke8606 I would try some rubber gloves before you give up on not being able to unscrew it
Mover and Shaker thanks I got it off and now it’s just to get the vacuum moving on it owns but I’m not going to give up, you been a great help thank you very much!
I am wanting to purchase this vac but I am not see the hoses with it when I order it!!! 😕 I love those hoses you are using in this video! Where can I get them thanks
Jason those short sectioned hoses come with the pool cleaner in the box. It's Enough to do 22.7 ft I believe and we never needed all of them (lenghtwise) so we used some of them for backwashing at one time before we switched to a different hose. So you should see them when you get the pool cleaner. Although if you ever need a similar style made by Intex that is all one length and not sections here is one. amzn.to/3zRwpyW
@@MoverandShaker Awesome thank you!
Is it the same connection if I'm using a cartridge pump?
I am not sure about the Intex cart ridge pumps connections even being applicable to fit and or even run the Intex pool cleaner or not. Intex recommends a filter pump with a flow rate of between 1600 to 3500 gallons per hour. A few owners have commented that anything lower in GPH might be too small to power the Intex pool cleaner. You may want to think about the Deluxe Maintenance Kit doing it manually. It would be faster. My only suggestion is go on Intex download the Adobe version manual on the product page of the Intex Pool cleaner if you don't already own one see if there are set up instructions and specifications in the cleaner's manual for the cartridge filter pump set up or not. After owning one, I would think you'd want and definitely need a more powerful pump to run this cleaner effectively.
@@MoverandShaker i upgraded to a 2500 gph but its cartridge as well
@@yessieq7760
I see the one that you have online. It's strange because the filter basket is on the left on the box, but if you were to reverse so the filter basket was on the right then yet eveything would technically be set up the same in terms of the Catridge Filter connection hose going to the outlet Far left to hook up the vacuum/cleaner, and your pumps filter basket connecting to the middle outlet and the skimmer outlet just like our pictures. It seems like it makes sense! I really would suggest looking for someone doing an video that has the same model cartridge filter pump as you do and see what set up.
I have an overflow pool
It have floor inlet
Can I use the vacuum point in the wall to contact it with the automatic cleaner??
Please answer me 🥺🥺
I'm sorry I don't understand your question.

Thanks to you
Sorry for my bad English language
I am from Egypt
So I speak Arabic better 😂😂
So please try to understand me.
My pool have no water outlet in tha wall of the pool.
The water get into the pool through floor inlet.
So I can't connect this device .
I have only one vacuum point in the pool.
So my question is.
Can I contact this device to the vacuum point (suction of the pump).
Instead of discharge of the pump???
Thank you again for your help 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@stepbystepwithhussein162 I don't think that will work it's supposed to be on the discharge side.
@@MoverandShaker
Thanks brother
Can I use a submersible pump??
You do not need necessarily a pump where you could have a flexible tubing or hose around 3/8 inch diameter
And get the hose put it in your water and then siphon just a second to get the water flowing and then wait while it drains just as fast as the pump.
Wonder if this will work with a gunite in ground pool
perhaps hooked up to the discharge. I am not sure.
Would it workwith the factory pump my pool came with?
I am not sure what your pool came with however, the pump requirements for the Intex Pool cleaner are 1,600 GPH - 3,500 GPH. Of course the stronger the pump the better it will work!
so how long did it take to clean pool from start to finish
I am so sorry we never saw this from our UA-cam App. We are logged onto the desktop today on my UA-cam and found your comment in an unusual area but you probably figured it all out by now however we have used several pool vacuums and are no longer using this one in this video as we have found one that is better, this is the 2022 AIPER ROBOTIC POOL CLEANER model amzn.to/3m5ZKn1 which is priced the same as the 2023 model so either one would work. it is an excellent investment despite the price. Once you charge it up, it roams around in your pool by itself when you are in the house or doing other things when it stops it's done. It comes with a rod to lift it out of the pool.
I bought one of these but even with the 12 inch sand filter wouldn't work. It starts working an stops. I started using my manual vacuum and finish before this thing started to work.
I am so sorry we never saw this from our UA-cam App. We are logged onto the desktop today on my UA-cam and found your comment in an unusual area
You are exactly spot on. It did pick up a lot of stuff including pine straw and large chunks of tree debris however it can start and stop without warning and so essentially you have to babysit it more or less, but every vac has its pros and con's one of my biggest issues with this particular model was it was kind of heavy and awkward and hard to handle. Ultimately, we did a workaround with the hose connections to make it more effective, but I have forgotten what that was because we have experimented with three other vacs already since this one.
Did you winterize this pool?if so do you have a video how to ? Or instructions you can pass along. Thanks. Here in Wisconsin we get some pretty cold winters and I’ve seen people leave these pools up but I heard its not recommended. Thanks.
We don't have a video just yet of winterizing the pool, however we purchased a very high quality cover off of Amazon and then the Saran Wrap style pool wrap and purchased what is referred to as a Pool Pillow which elevates the cover in the center to prevent freezing then you use the included cable with the pool cover and tighten up the cover with the included ratchet locking mechanism and then you wrap your pool a few times around the cover and the pool to get a snug air tight seal. You can see a picture of it wrapped in our original set up pool video at the very end of the video. We also added Winterizing kit which many companies make these products. It ensures a cleaner pool upon opening. I have seen a few pool closing videos online where people live in colder places than we do and we followed those instructions. We will do one this year for sure.
Mover and Shaker Thank you.
We leave ours up in Michigan. 4 years now.
@@azurewinged4088 we are in Michigan also and are wanting to keep ours up as well. Can you offer any tips?
What size of pool do u have and what size sand filter pump?
Hi there my pool is an 18 ft wide by 52 inch high pool GPH the pump is a 3000 GPH which is 16 in we also have a video on the sand pump and a video or two on the pool itself
I going to get one, maybe that help me with the foggy water, how do you make crystal clear water?
The pool cleaner only works as good as your pump is strong. The stronger the pump the better your pool will get vacuumed. however, there are
6 Ways to Clear Cloudy Pool Water
Balance free chlorine (FC) levels.
Get rid of any algae.
Monitor and balance pH and Total Alkalinity levels.
Correct calcium hardness (CH) levels.
Backwash filter or replace filtering agent.
Remove foreign particles and mineral deposits, scrub, and vacuum up the pool.

Our skimmer takes care of most of what falls on the surface. When we first get in the pool we always roam around the sides and loosen up anything touching the pool or around the edges and skim it up with a small net. The bottom is done once a week with a manual vacuum. We prefer that over the automatic pool cleaner. We also use a scumbug which collects tanning oils/lotions/or anything else that is floating. It just floats around. You can find those on Amazon
We have a saltwater pool system now for the last month or so and we haven't had to add anything to our pool period. Knock on wood ;)
@J M Thanks for the Tip. We are now Saltwater (see other videos) we have been chemical free for almost two months and haven't added one single thing to our pool with the exception of salt.
@@MoverandShaker we have the auto cleaner, sand filter and saltwater generator as well but have an algae problem. Tips? Everywhere I read I'm told to vacuum to waste on the sand filter but when I turn the filter to waste the vacuum doesn't run! Help!
You can't use the pool cleaner and vacuum to waste because the waste comes out the incorrect area of the pump but if you have an algae problem you need a real vacuum cleaner you need to purchase a deluxe maintenance kit so that you can have your whole bottom of your pool thoroughly cleaned also you might need to go up to the hardware store or pool store and get you some algaecide.
If you get a deluxe maintenance kit you won't need to vacuum to waste either everything is caught by its own little net and it works amazing it is our hands down number one vacuum
Since the vacuum works off of the discharge I think it wouldn't make any difference whether you ran the pump on filter or recirculate because the debri the vacuum is picking up stays inside the unit.
It appears to me that this unit would not work well for any debri along the edges because it cant get close enough to pick up, although I may be wrong.
Im somsidering getting one.
All along we were more focused on the manual version of vacuuming using the Intex Deluxe Maintenance Kit, it wasn't until this year, we decided to get three new vacuum methods in the mix. INTEX 28620EP Rechargeable USB Handheld Pool Vacuum amzn.to/3OTplvu AIPER Cordless Robotic Pool Cleaner amzn.to/42mN76f and finally the INTEX Vacuum hose amzn.to/3qtZP5P that connects to the Hayward Skimmer and you can use this brush head amzn.to/43KukDf We have all three depending on your needs. Thorough, Quick Spot treatment or conveniently remote.

I just got mine and it keeps popping off the outlet. Can you help me please?
Oh no! Sorry we just saw this. The pool cleaner hose screws on several turns so we don't know why it would pop off.
It’s ok, I figured it out!
Thank you so much!
O.k. great!
Do u need another hose ur does this work w coleman pool? An I got black adapter it has a filter in it
I am not sure if this works for the Coleman pool. We are not really Up on all the specifications and things related to Coleman. In the past, I would have told you to go to the intex site and download the manual to see what they use to connect it to the pool because. We no longer own the pool cleaner. But now I see that they have removed a lot of their pdf manuals from their website.
Hmm. It picked up what I could've in a couple seconds with a skimmer with 10 times less effort. Not sure it's worth buying. Another thing I heard about these is that it doesn't pick up dead algae dust.
It does pick up dirt, slime sand and pine straw and a few small debris items but we still think the manual deluxe maintenance vacuum does the most for the bottom in faster time also
Where can you buy this vacuum do you have a model number or anything that will help us locate this vacuum. Thanks very much
28001E is the model that we have. It is actually called a INTEX AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANER but so many refer to it as a vacuum so that is why my title shows both. We purchase our Intex pool cleaner with a pump combo package and that is currently unavailable my best advice would be to Google the Intex automatic pool cleaner 28001 under Google shopping tab and see where you can find it it is an incredibly busy pool season right now and then demand for all of these accessories and the pools is at an all-time high and the prices are going up
Mover and Shaker thanks very much greatly appreciated
Does this work on EZ Set pool?
I'm not familiar with the Easy Set Pools and what kind of setup is required to run those.
I would suggest going to Intex. Com look up the pool cleaner look at the specifications and even download the pool cleaner manual so you can see if it's compatible with the easy set pool. I know your filter has to have a certain amount of dph in order to run this automatic cleaner.
The Adapter For The Vacuum Doesn’t Fit Our Pool, Any Suggestions ? Or Do We Need To Purchase A New Piece To Fit
This vacuum is for Intex above ground pools only. Do you have a different brand pool? if so, then you would need to use a vacuum that connects via the skimmer outlet unless your pool brand recommends their own brand vacuum.
I have a Coleman/Bestway 22' pool. I had trouble getting it to attach also. On the part that screws into your outlet port you will see another filter. This part pops out. There is a rim you will need to cut down so it will screw into that outlet port. If you do this it works great.
Mines get stuck and it doesn’t n work so idk what’s wrong when i put the pump on filter it’s doesn’t work. But when I put in normal it’s does work but it doesn’t suck nothing
Make sure you are using the discharge side of the pool (where the water shoots into the pool) Make sure you pump is off when you drop the cleaner in. You want to put it in slowly and make sure that the hose fills up with water then hook it up then turn the pump back on. Have you burped your sand filter basket to make sure all the air is out? Is your strainer hole plug inserted in the 1st of the two outlets?
If you have no air in the lines everything should be moving and cleaning. It is true sometimes it's vacuum cleaner stopped for a moment or two but within 15 to 20 seconds it will start moving again it has a mind of its own.
Mover and Shaker should I put my pump on normal or filter ?
@@diegomaruri4795 recirculate, NOT on filter.
How does it do with wrinkles in pool?
I am sorry I am not really sure. I can only tell you that while we owned it we had one single wrinkle and it didn't make that much of a difference in terms of movement or it's ability to move. Overall, we felt like it just didn't move that much or that often as we expected. I guess if you don't mind waiting hours for it but we like to get things done so we stick to our cordless and our deluxe maintenance vac. It's just faster for us to pinpoint the dirt and get it up right then.
So do you just keep it on filter?
Yes!
Do you put the pump on circulation?
Never have
Filtration, got it!
I am worried about it putting holes in my vinyl liner
This product was made by Intex for their vinyl pools, unless you have a lot of wrinkles in your liner, I doubt that would happen, especially if you gave a XTR liner.
I have one similar it works on the outtake too and I was so frustrated before realizing so thanks for this but I need to know know how it’s sucking when it’s pushing out water. Can anyone explain? Lol
It's an inductor system. It moves water out and creates the suction by pushing water through the vacuum head.
Oh ok thanks for explaining.
What size is this pool it’s huge
It is only 18ft and 52" high.
How long do you let it run?
It is a personal preference but we only used it a couple hrs at a time but sometimes it gets hung up for some odd reason, so it needs a little supervision. We just prefer manual vacuuming now so we can get everything quickly .
@@MoverandShaker ya mine does that to it will just stop for some odd reason then I figured it out it’s cause the vacuum was dirty n needed to b cleaned out after u clean it it will work for longer period of time . The dirtier the pool the more time you will have to take it out n clean it or it will stop
My pump is a 10 in w flow of 1200? Hose is leaking water
Sounds like you have a crack in the hose or the union fitting/nut. You could probably get a replacement hose from Amazon in day or two.
What size hose does it actually come with? 1.25" or 1.5"? And I'm guessing since mine is the 24' pool I would need extra hose.
It comes with a 1.5" hose in small sections and the hose sections assembled together total exactly 24ft 7in
Would it work on a 1,200 GPH intex pump
It Requires a filter pump with a flow rate between 1,600 - 3,500 gph
We could not get it to work with a 1,500 GPH. We just got a sand 3,000 GPH pump and it works much better....but its still takes a "nap" at times 🙄. We actually run it over night and get what it missed in the morning. Seems faster then having to vacuum the whole pool. 😊
How much GPH does your pool pump give out ?
3000
Mover and Shaker is it a sand filter pump ?
What do you have your pump set on?
You always have it set on filter. If you were to set it to waste you would lose all of your water.
@@MoverandShaker thank you
@@adambirnstihl9390 You're welcome. Anytime.

What pump and filter do u use
Alysia - We have this pump pictured here in this link. intexcorp.com/products/above-ground-pools/krystal-clear-filtration-sanitation/sand-filter-pumps/3000-gph-krystal-clear-sand-filter-pump-110-120v-with-gfci/
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak starting so early in the year and everyone being quarantined way ahead of summer, pools, equipment and supplies ran out FAST! so finding the pumps are a real issue let alone the pricing. I would suggest to make all big ticket pool related purchases in the winter whn prices go down.
@@MoverandShaker thank you. We found this pump locally for resale. Hayward SP1580Z2. Thoughts?
@@aspacesky Hi Alysia - I am unable to locate any information on this specific pump online anywhere and unfortunately I am not familiar with Hayward products as of yet. From What I am (Not) seeing this unit may be rathered old. What is the Manufacturer date on the tag on the unit?
@@MoverandShaker I cant seem to locate it either and cant attach picture
@@aspacesky Oh I can find plenty of images just no good product information that would yield any reliable information about it. Looks like there may be some you tube reviews on it based on the images that came up when I searched the model number why don't you try to look those up. Sorry I am unable to be more help.
Does it clean the dirt as well?
Yes, it vacuums up small particles of dirt, small leaves and pine straw.
Mover and Shaker
Thanks!
What size is the pool?
Hi there. This is a 18ft wide x 52" high Intex Ultra XTR
@@MoverandShaker how much is that in usa?.don't think they have it that big here. Love the videos
What setting do you put the pump on?
Filter. Hook everything up drop the vacuum in slow and then select Filter
What salt do you recommend?
We don't really recommend any particular salt but last summer we had a great experience with Clorox salt so we got 2 more bags from Lowe's for when we open the pool.
@@MoverandShaker Thanks! Do I need to buy sand or extra sand for the sand filter?
@@vikingsjas1911 2 seasons and we never needed any extra sand.
@@MoverandShaker Thank you! Just wanted to be sure and thank you so much for your videos I am setting up the pool soon and I know I could not have done any of it without your videos! Thanks!
@@vikingsjas1911 Yes we did a little video on Saturday and that's just what it waz the pool water was perfect Even almost 100% balanced we never expected that will probably put it up sometime within the next 4 days
I just got this vacumm, i run my pump for 6-8 hours. When connected to the outlet of the pool do we leave it connected at all times ? Does the vacumm soot out the filtered water or do we need to unplugged it ?
we only let it run for about 2 hrs, as we don't have that much debris. I guess you could leave it connected while in the pool because it is filtering but if you are trying to vacuum and swim at the same time, I would think that the debris that was on the bottom of the pool would be floating all over the place but not on the surface.
@@MoverandShaker definitely not trying to vacuum and swim.. Was just wondering if the vacuum still shoots out the filtered water while connected and cleaning at the same time? . Or does it need to be removed to shoot out the filtered water from the outlet?
The answer is yes it is still sending out filtered water through the jets while running.
@@MoverandShaker thank you! How many times a week do yall run the vacuum . Or do yall just leave ot connect it at all times .i have my pump running every 4-8 hours , should i just leave it connected at all times and then clean the vacumm every couple uses?
@@guillermoortiz1492 We use the Intex Deluxe Maintenance Kit (vacuum) (see video) the most out of the three vacuums/cleaners we have. We vacuum a couple of times a week, but we really prefer fast manual spot treating vacuuming as opposed to the automatic vacuum. It's quick, and does the job just as good (we think). We run our pump at least 6-8 hrs a day.
Can you just leave it in the pool?
I guess you could but the cleaner really works best with any thing considered as dirt or debris is basically at the bottom of the pool undisturbed for a certain length of time so it can roam around and do it's thing. If anyone were to be in the pool at the same time moving all of that I can't see that it would do a great job. I can't seen any reason you absolutely can't but I would think it would be better before or after pool time.
I got one it will work for ten min but stops moving collects some debris
Yes, it's not our favorite out of all the vacuum options that we have reviewed and it is clear to us that automatic vacuums aren't reliable as good old fashion manual vacuum methods. About 15 minutes everyother day or so of manual vacuuming is much more satisfying and does the best job!
The adapter that came with it does not fit our pool
what kind of pool do you own?
I can’t understand why mine will not move
It requires a filter pump with a flow rate between 1,600 and 3,500 GPH if you already have that, did you make sure that you feed in the vacuum slowly so no air is in the line and pump is on filter?
@@MoverandShaker thanks for the reply. This is the first year I’ve had a sand filter, so I’m getting use to it. I backwashed it, and that solved the problem. It worked great.
O.k. great yes the pump and everything else always works better when it's clean again!!! Best of luck 👍
I'm having problems making mines work
That cleaner requires a filter pump with a flow rate between 1,600 - 3,500 gph. Make sure you meet those requirements. Next, you have to place the cleaner in slowly so that the hose fills up with water. You can't have any air in the line. You will be grabbing the end of that hose and hooking it up to the nozzle underwater so no air gets in. You need all the water pressure to push that thing around. It does have a tendancy to stop and think sometimes but eventually it will keep moving around. I have heard it can get stuck and you kinda wake it up by tugging on it but I have never had that happen personally.
Price?
They run about $89 in the summer and in the fall/winter they run about $69 Ours came without 3000 Gallon Intex Pump as a combo purchase for $279 - I would suggest a second hand one as well but you would have to buy a package of the little vinyl flippers that attach to the cleaner and move debris up into the cleaner tray.
Mover and Shaker thank you so much! You’ve been such a huge help for me! I will get one ordered! We have our pump running now and working on chemicals! That should be your next video! I would love to know what you guys use and how often! Our pH and alkaline is really high right now
@@goodtimeswiththegoodrums3019 You're welcome. We have not been able to get the chemicals ever perfect. We mainly keep on hand PH UP, Shock and Chlorine Tabs but have purchased Stabilizer and Calcium Hardness product recently. We had been using the Clorox Pool App and Clorox chemicals at first and now we just buy the cheaper brands but still use what the Clorox app recommends as a dosage. Unfortunatley we would not be very informative in that department. We have made the decision to purchase a Salt water Chlorinator (on the way) to reduce maintenance headaches and costs. We will just have to be EXTRA careful in taking care of our baby by washing the legs off daily after we get out of the pool to make sure we do our best to keep things in tact.
