Can this pump be used to vacuum a pool?

I use mine to pump water to a water slide going into the pool. Based on what I've seen, I doubt it has enough flow to vacuum the pool.

It's fumy that exactly what I wanted to do with my pump. My pump was shipped to me defective. I was never able to make the pump work right. I'm sure it can.

I have this pump connected to a water tank, and pump through a paper filter. It has enough power to do that. But drawing up from the 10' depths of a pool and pushing through a diatomaceous earth filter would take a bit more. I would recommend a slightly larger pump.

I bought this pump to pull water from a distance to fill my water tanks but I'm not sure it has the power to vacuum a pool.

Gotta be honest, I don't know. But you know for the price, it would worth trying. I have purchased 3 of them, and quite pleased with their performance.

No, its a great pump. I use it to clean aquariums. But, it does not have enough suction to clean from the bottom of a pool. Also, it is not self priming.

Although I was quite dissappointed with using this pump for an inflatable swimming pool, I think it should work just fine for balloons. (I don't have any balloons to test it...)

Oh no, you must still run your pool pump. The rover only vacuums the bottom of the pool.

Yes, provided you have the ThriftyVac Check Valve Adapter. However, you can get a much stronger vacuum using the manual pump that comes with the ThriftyVac system, and you would not need an adapter.

I can not say. The vacuum requires a minimum gpm. You would need to check both your pumps specifications and the stated requirment of the vacuum.

Hey AlI suppose you could use it but depending on the pool you'd be pumping for days. Best use is for things like lawnmowers and lawn tractors.Good Luck ted

We have used this pump all summer and were able to pull down to 25 to 50 microns. Lots of factors that ratings would be of no use when pulling a vacuum on different systems.

You need a vacuum hose attached to either the skimmer intake or if your pump/filter assembly have an intake valve, then the other end you att ach itto the Poolmaster so that you can vacuum the bottom of the pool guided with a pole.

Yes but it may be to large for that purpose. One of the smaller vacuum devices would work better.

Probably not. It can't handle the amount of current used by vacuum cleaner.

I believe it can, as I think vacuum system can be used. You just have to be able to connect the vacuum system with the unit and so, must have the appropriate connector. So, if you can use the same connector hose it will work fine.

We have not found a commercial vacuum system that hooks up to this pump. So we are cleaning the pool very creatively. For us it is a two person job and probably something you would see on duck dynasty, lol.

No, I used this as an adapter for pool vacume. Large debres go into filter basket if you have one on your pump.

A vacuum cleaner worked fine for me. If you need more power, the Black & Decker pump is good.

Of course..a vac pump is used on empty refr lines to pull out air, not refr...will work on any system

If you plan on running an pool vacuum from your filter you may want more power, that's the mistake I made. If you are not going to be doing that, then this pump should work. It's a good filter, but you're on the border line of whether it's to small. If you do get it you'll have to run it all the time compared to a more powerful filter. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope all goes well

There should not be an issue with using this vacuum in any type pool that I am aware of. It is very close in design to the Kreepy Krauly and in my opinion, works just as well.
