When vacuuming the pool why would the pressure be so heavy it sticks to the bottom of the pool and then loses pressure?

Answer 1

As you vacuum the bottom of a pool you pick up a lot of fine dust and other material it is not unusual for a filter to block up while you are vacuuming. cleaning the filter or a brief backwash will probably fix the problem RB The answer above did not address the question. The vac head needs to have the wheels adjusted if it is a wheeled vac head. If the vac head is a brush model then you need to reduce the suction some. To do that you need to open the 2nd skimmer some -if you have one. Otherwise, you have to somehow throttle down the suction when you vac pool. I had a similar problem with my vacuum in a vinyl pool. The head was too close to the liner due to the bristles being worn down. Replacing this with a vacuum head that has both casters and bristles made vacuuming much easier and more effective (no more Wrestling with the vacuum). http://www.Walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10927854

Answer 2

you need a bypass most pools have 2 skimmer's if yours has only one you can get an adapter were it hooks up to system to relieve the pressure you can damage your pump if you do not correct this soon

Answer 3

This happens when the Jandy-valve is set to pull too much suction from the skimmer. The pump will also sound like it's choking because it's not getting enough water from just the vacuum. Try turning the valve to pull a little suction from the main drain as well.

Answer 4

No the momment you throw it in the water it would short out and shut off. With out suction it wont be able to stay at the bottom of the pool.

Answer 5

Stop sticking your dick in the vaccum hose for free blow jobs!! That's what your wife is for.

Answer 6

Presumably the water is being sent to the drain? That offers very low resistance to flow so the pressure will be very low too.
