POOLWHALE Professional 1-1/2-Inch x 24-Feet Swimming Pool Vacuum Hoses with Swivel Cuff and Triangular Weighted Flex Vacuum Head,Perfect for Above Ground and Inground Pools

Read this if your Intex pool has turned green and you’re not sure what to do.I have an Intex above-ground pool that went green, and I quickly realized the standard Intex filter wasn’t going to cut it. So, the first thing I did was upgrade to a sand pump and filter. That helped, but not enough—the green was too far gone for the pump alone.At that point, I had two options: vacuum the green out or drain the pool. Draining felt pointless because the problem could just come back, so I decided to vacuum it out as cheaply as possible.I found a vacuum for $50. I figured there would be a bit of trial and error to get it working—and there was. If you want something plug-and-play, this might not be for you. The main issue I faced was that the return port on the pool seemed to be an odd size. I bought a 1.25” to 1.5” hose adapter, but it was about 2mm too big. Then I tried an Intex connector from a pool shop—it was slightly too small and too short to clamp properly.So I improvised. I cut down the original connector with snips, allowing it to compress slightly and fit better. I stuffed it into the intake port, and to my surprise—it worked. It’s not perfect, and I’m sure there’s a proper connector out there, but this DIY fix got the job done.Before vacuuming, make sure to leave your pool still overnight so all the algae settles to the bottom. When you’re ready, fully submerge your vacuum hose so it’s filled with water—this is crucial to avoid losing suction. Then, connect it to your DIY or proper adapter, attach the vacuum head, and fire up the pump.I vacuumed about 85% of the algae on the first go—just moved slowly and carefully. It took about 15 minutes. I repeated the process the next morning, and the pool is now clear.Total cost?• Vacuum: $50• Connector: $13• A bit of patience and effort: freeAnd that’s it. It works—I promise! Be patient, and save yourself a bunch of money

This vacuum is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! For weeks I was using a robot and a pop blaster vacuum with no progress. This was way more affordable and worked 100% better! Would recommend to ANYONE!!!

Just the right size to clean a 24’ round above ground pool. The vacuum head swivels making it easy to maneuver around.

Works miracles got our pool .

The hose wasn't 24 ft but other than that the vacuum is good.

The item arrived early and was exactly the way it was advertised. Works fine.

This thing is a nightmare. It’s not just coiled…it’s like magnetic. You can unroll it, stretch it out, try to weigh it down, and somehow it still snaps back into a tangled mess like it’s alive. Doesn’t stay submerged, doesn’t unkink, and actually made vacuuming impossible and you’re doing something wrong. I’ve used this hose from Lowe’s and it is lightweight and flexible.This was actually free because I wanted to return it after reading reviews but tried it since it was free. It was a complete waste of time and blood pressure lol

Works great
