"Today we're back and look at the difference that we have made in the pool from yesterday. And I'm going to show you how to vacuum up all the debris. We have a vacuum hose and a skim vac plate. This is a concrete or a fiberglass vacuum, there's different types of vacuums for different types of pool surfaces. And with this being a vinyl liner vacuum the concrete and vinyl liner vacuum is what we're going to use. You attach the vacuum head to your pole, attach the hose to the vacuum, stick it into the water. When we get ready to vacuum we want to attach the vacuum head to your pole, and your vacuum hose to the top of the vacuum, I like to get the vacuum flowing in this manner. Which is placing the vacuum over a return outlet. There we go. And you get the water flowing through the hose. Once you get the water flowing through the hose you attach the skim vac plate down into the skimmer to make a suction to suction up all the debris off the bottom of the pool."
