Cleaning the pool means waging an ongoing battle with nature. It's even harder when your automatic pool vacuum has weak suction power. If you set up a weekly pool cleaning routine, where you do most of the work and leave your vacuum only minimal work, your efforts will have you spending more time enjoying your pool and less time cursing at the weak vacuum cleaning the pool.
