One commonly asked question is how to be able to hook up a pool vacuum to an Intex pool.  And what's the step by step procedure to do so.

How do you hook up a pool vacuum to an Intex pool?

Gather all the materials and components of your pool vacuum. You would also be needing a long garden house for this. Don't forget the most essential part of this work, and that is the filter pump. Your vacuum cleaner won't work when your pump is not working.

There are two pieces of a telescoping shaft. You need to insert one at the end part to the other, and you need to twist them together in a counterclockwise position to tighten them together.

The shaft must align with the vacuum head where you could see the spring. The next step is to squeeze the tips of the plastic and the spring together before you could see the shaft go perfectly in the head.

When you successfully slipped the shaft into the vacuum head, you could now get one debris bag and attach it to the vacuum head. Don't forget to tie the bag with the vacuum head for safety.

Then on the opposite side of the vacuum head, you need to attach the garden hose adapter nozzle with it. Clip the hose to the telescoping shaft and to wind the adapter nozzle to the hose.

You would encounter a flat washer with an adapter that you must place in the garden hose coupling. You can now adjust your water output so you'll have the right water pressure. Your vacuum is now ready to suck inside all the debris from the pool floor by holding the vacuum head directly to the floor of the pool.
