Intex Deluxe Pool Maintenance Kit

It works! I gave this kit five stars simply because it does exactly as I hoped it would. No quibble could tarnish my satisfaction with the product or the seller. The product arrived at my home one day before the beginning of the promised delivery range. The price was better than I could find elsewhere. Packaging and merchandise were in perfect condition. So, FIVE STAR SELLER. Buy with confidence. I bought this kit to clean up the sand and debris that settled at the bottom of my 18'x48" Intex. We have had pools the whole time my kids were growing up. We started with small pools with venturi vacuums and worked our way up to a 27'x52" pool with a DE filter and an excellent vacuum. Of all the vacuums I've had, I like this one best. Take a look at the picture I attached. This is the bag in the filter. It's a big picture. Hopefully, you can see that the bag is filled with sand. So, the vacuum sucks up grains of sand and the bag holds it until. No sand in the filter and no sand sneaking through the net bag. There is a little rubber flap which opens during vacuuming and closes when you disconnect the filter. This keeps debris from finding its way back into the pool. The kit includes an adapter which attaches the included hose to the inteke of the filter. The hose just presses onto the adapter. The vacuum has two heads. The one I used today is just a flattened tube. It did a great job with the sand. If I had to scrub the liner, I would have used the other head which has bristled. One more good thing about the vacuum: the pole is very rugged and extends to 9' -- just enough to clean my pool from outside. The 20' One bad thing about the vacuum: The vacuum body is a 'quick disconnect' rather than a full thread and it came apart a couple times during my cleaning session. You really have to be careful screwing the parts together then be careful not to put too much pressure on the handle. Turned out to be a minor annoyance. Here's a tip for those having trouble filling the 20' hose: hold both ends underwater with one hand and fill one end from a garden hose until water comes out the other with no air bubbles. Everything else in the kit is fine. The net appears to be durable. The brush is very easy to handle due to its smaller size. Two thumbs up for an effective, inexpensive Pool Maintentance Kit.
