Your pool vacuum head isn’t something you use every day, but it’s one of the most important tools in your arsenal for keeping your pool clean. When you vacuum your pool regularly, you’re keeping your water clear and inviting, and using the right vacuum head will make the job much easier. When should you vacuum your pool? Well, we recommend vacuuming your pool at least twice a week, or as often as you can.

Hook up a Vacuum to a Pool Head

While your pool pump is usually at the back of the house, vacuuming your pool is a whole other story. Pools have specific connections to attach to a vacuum, but how do you hook it up to your pool? To get your pool vacuum ready, you’ll need to disconnect the pump from the power source and clear out any debris in the filter. Then, you’ll attach the vacuum to the hose, which has its own sort of attachment. If you’re unsure how to connect a vacuum to a pool head, check the manufacturer’s diagram, or ask us for help, swimmingvac.

Forget the broom and dustpan altogether! Now you can use a vacuum to clean up pet hair, dust, dirt, crumbs, and even food particles and do it quickly and efficiently. For pet lovers, the Dyson V6 Absolute Cord-Free Stick Vacuum is our pick for the best cordless vacuum.

How to connect the pool vacuum head?

When you’re installing a new pool vacuum head, you’ll want to make sure you know how to connect it. You’ll want to look at the main vacuum head, at the hose that goes from the head to the pump, at the hose that goes from the head to the filter, and at the hose that connects the head to the suction side of the pump. When you’re connecting them, you’ll want to make sure the hose that goes from the head to the pump is threaded into the connection on the vacuum head. Then, connect the hose that connects the head to the filter and to the suction side of the pump to the connection on the filter.

Vacuum head connection technique

Vacuum heads are easily one of the most important and least understood parts of a vacuum cleaner. Understanding the connection technique and what it does will help owners get the most out of their vacuum. The three main ways the vacuum connects to a hose are the vacuum head thread, the wand thread, and the hose thread.

Final words

 Vacuum heads on pool vacuums collect debris by sucking it into the vacuum. Some vacuum heads have an attachment for pool slides, which clean the bottom of pool slides. Some vacuum heads have a rotating brush, which cleans natural and manmade surfaces. Some vacuum heads come with an extension hose, which makes it easier to reach high places. A pool vacuum with a wet/dry vacuum head cleans hard surfaces, such as concrete and tile. A wet/dry vacuum head can be used on both wet and dry surfaces.
