It works by connecting directly to your skimmer or a dedicated suction line that pulls in water to the pump. The cleaner then moves around the pool, sucking up sediment and debris and sending it to the pump filter basket and the pool filter. Pools have a filtration system that keeps the pool water filtered and clean.
Considering this, how does pool vacuum work with garden hose?

What setting should my pool pump be on to vacuum?
For routine vacuuming, the filter valve is left in the normal “Filter” position.

Why is my pool vacuum not suctioning?
Rule out the obvious causes of poor vacuum first. Make sure the water level in the pool is sufficient and air is not being sucked in through skimmer inlets. Add water to the pool to submerge the skimmers if necessary. Verify that the pump strainer basket and the skimmers are free of debris that may obstruct water flow.
