Does it work on pool lines underground? If so, where do I put the product & does the DE filter need to be removed?

It was a hot tub I used it for. Can't see why underground lines wld matter. Remove yr filters

Sorry but I can't help with this. I have a spa. I just removed the filter and poured it directly into the intake with the pump running.

It works fine with our DE Filter, (as far as an in floor cleaning system i'm not for sure what that is) we have 2 drains in the pool and one drain in the hot tube. We also got the new polaris pump to run our pool cleaner and it is so quite, we love it. I also got the new mother board through jandy so that we could control the speeds wireelessly, I would only get the pump if you can controll the speeds through your computer or smart device!

You use the setting filter. After I vacuum my pool I will turn filter off then turn filter to backwash let run for a minute or so then turn filter off again and set to rinse then turn filter back on. Watch the water in the bubble and when it turns clear you can turn filter back off again and set back to filter I run my filter for 4 hours in the evening and 4 hours in the early morning. I also have a salt system which allows me to keep my pool crystal clear if you have any more questions feel free to email me brian.gardner33@yahoo.com

It's intended to be inserted between two sections of the hose connected to your existing pool cleaner/vac. It prevents little things sucked in by the cleaner/vac from getting to the filter and pump.

no, do not use it for that kind of pool. I am not even very satisfied with it on my above ground pool. I had to make a gasket for the pipe coming out of the filter, after I had to make an extension for it because it was not long enough to seal inside the head unit. It allowed a lot of dirty water bypass and drove me nuts thinking I didn't know how to get my pool chemistry right. Turns out it was the filter all along. Now after a year I think the pump is starting to fail, it makes an awful high pitched squeal.

The tool is not a vacuum itself. You attach the suction hose from the pool pump/filtering system to the top of the tool and that provides the suctioning power. I have found that this picks up everything that can fit through the hose and will get all loose dirt up. Just keep in mind that whatever is sucked up goes into the pool filtration system, so if the pool is really dirty you may have to clean the filtering system later.

My pool is similar in size. It took about a half day to set up the pool filter setup and works well. The critical issue is to connect to the existing pipes so you may need to work on that aspect more than expected. You have to know how to work with plastic pipes. This project is though not for a beginner never handled any projects before.

two things that come to mind, you can buy a clarifier, usually in a 30 oz bottle I think. they are supposed to bind the small dirt particles together so the filter traps them more easily. If that doesn't work I've had to vacuum out to waste and add more clean water to the pool. good luck

Don't waste time and money with the Muck Vac. The best solution I have found is using an Intex filter pump model 637R with the intake hose connected to a triangular pool brush and using an aluminum pole to push the brush around. I've debated about getting an inline filter to capture leaves and large debris so that I don't have to clean the cartridge filter as often. I used this system for 2 years and it works great. Hope this helps.

Put her in the pool and take the hose and hold it up to the water coming out of the pump to prime the lines and then hook the end up into your filter on the side of the pool that catches the debris. If you don't prime the line, she will not work properly. You will need to take the catch basin out and plug her directly in. My pool bottom sparkles thanks to her! Hope this helps.

I would think that it will work on in ground pools as well. I attached mine to a 10' pole I purchased locally. The vacuum itself is weighted well and has sturdy brush bristles so it should clean it well.

The Water Tech Catfish vaccum is great for above-ground pools. That is what I have. It does not hurt the liner. So far ,I have no problems with it.

I would contact the company I use this stuff and ended up replacing all of my de filters if your trying to fight green algee and have not broken down your de filter and cleaned all of the screens that's what you need to do they algee up and your just pumping the green stuff back into your pool I wlll never use this stuff again hope this helps

does that tap right into the lines in the pool wall and run off the filter pump that runs the filters as well?

I wouldn't try using this pool vac in an above ground. It's extremely heavy and large and will probably tear your liner. I have a concrete inground and I've noticed some chipping in my concrete which could've come from the vacuum, but not sure. Get a vacuum specially designed for above ground swimming pools. Good Luck!

Yes, but you will have to bypass your sand filter. I used recirculate. There are some fabulous you tube videos explaining how to use this stuff on a pool. It worked great for me!

We bought a salt water pump for our pool because the filter pump was not shipped with pool. BUT I think you r talking about the filter pump. No u shouldn't have to dump it, but you will need to leave the filter pump hooked up to the salt water pump. Filter pump cleans the debris from water. Salt pump treats the water. My husband has allergy problems with chlorides so the salt pump works great. We didn't have to adjust or treat pool in the 2 months we used the pool.
