Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok so I have only had this for two days. After reading alot of reviews I wasn't expecting much, but it works really well. I'm only giving it 4 stars bc of 2 things. First the instructions say fill the hose before use. If you have never cleaned a pool you have no clue how to full a hose. I had to watch a couple YouTube videos to figure that out. The hose needs to be full of water in order for the vacuum to have suction. It will not work well if there is air in the hose. Then I read some reviews where people were complaining about the vacuum not staying together. I gave it a couple of test runs and saw the same thing, the bottom piece was falling off the vacuum attachment. I took it out and tinkered with it. i realized that when you screw it on it clicks once so you assume it's on, I gentle screwed it in more and heard a 2nd click. I no longer had that problem. Mine is attached to a 15 foot intex pool. I attached the hose to one filter hole and then put the small rubber piece ( the set comes with) in the other hole. So you get maximum suction from the hose. I vacuumed once around the pool and after 10 minutes pulled the filter out of the vacuum to see if it was picking up debre. It was and very well. I cleaned the filter bag and vacuumed again. Below are the pictures from the 2nd vacuuming after 10 minutes. Hope this review helps.
