How do you switch the pump over when you want to vacuum the pool?

Normal procedure for vacuuming. With pump running,connect vac hose to vac head and lower into to pool (on vac pole), filling hose with water (push hose into water, hand over hand, to fill). When you get to the end of the hose you should see it full of water. Connect end of hose to skimmer - remove basket and push ed of hose into suction hole in skimmer. Suction should now be via the vac head - you're vacuuming. Contact me by e-mail if you need more info.
