Bestway Pool Vacuum: Costco Pool Vacuum Setup

🌴 👇A few must have items👇

This pool can be purchased at Costco, or online here:

If you are new to my channel, welcome! I normally post Jeep related videos, but I thought this video may help some people out as well. Enjoy!!

By popular demand, here is a video on how I set up the pool vacuum. I've had many requests to make a video on how to set up the Bestway Pool Vacuum and I finally got around to it. Ha!

A few of my favorite tools:

Extendable Socket Wrench

1/2" Craftsman Impact Driver I use. Love this thing

Dewalt 1/4 impact driver
Be sure to get the kit with 2 batteries. You'll be glad you did!

Craftsman 165 Mechanics Tool Set
Excellent tool set that will last a lifetime.

Oil filter Wrench

Oh my God. After 50 thousand videos, I FINALLY found one that explains how to use this vacuum. THANK YOU!! Thank you for creating a video to show how easy it is. Others make it too complicated or leave out important details.

Your Costco pool videos are SO helpful! Especially since the pool itself came with hardly any directions.

Best video, you get to the point without a lot of blah blah blah.
My flow clear came with 0 instructions, I was trying to use pictures on the box to set it up.

Bless You!
You provided great information and tips.
No one ever told me about the value of using the plug in the second intake to increase the suction.
Bleeding the air out of the filter pump is also a really good tip.
And the advice about not lifting the vacuum out the pool is solid gold.
The dude who suggested using the outflow to get rid of air on the vacuum hose line.. That's genius!
I'm now encouraged to take another stab at vacuum cleaning my pool.
Thanks!

Thanks for the video, very clear and to the point.Just an idea, I let my kids walk circles in the pool before they get out. That way the water will start spinning and when it calms down, all the debris is in a pile in the middle :)

Thanks for this! Way more explanatory than Bestway's own promotional videos.

This is the best video i've run across while trying to figure out how to set up my vacuum Thanks

The First Video that shows how to set up this thing! Great Guy!

[grfulmatt]

I watched your video of setting up my Bestway pool prior to putting my own up. It helped me a thousand times. And now I have watch this video and am on my way to purchase a vacuum. Thank you so much for these videos they have been a huge help as the instructions are an absolute joke

[nathanopie]

Thank you for the videos as the instructions are limited! I wanted to add a helpful hint. After you have placed the suction hose in the pool, turn the pump on(before attaching it to the wall) hold the free end of it up to the pool return for a minute and it will blow any remaining air in the hose out the the end of the sweep head instead of sucking it into your pump and filter and possibly losing prime! Works excellent. I will try and post some other things I've learned and came up with as well. Thanks again.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!! I am a visual person and this helped so much!!!!

[ziggiedobe.]

Indeed this video is veeeery helpful, although as an apprentice myself I think I'm going to look for something less complicated. Thank you very much, excellent presentation, the troubleshooting is very appreciated, you stick to the DETAIL and THIS makes the TRUE DIFFERENCE from all the rest unboxing videos.

Can you show us how you maintain your pool? in terms of what chemicals you use

[brianbrandsma]

You're the last true family man! Thanks, have watched your 3 videos on the pool numerous times in my 5 days of pool ownership. Considering buying a jeep just for your other videos :)

[nailedbydebra]

Thank you for this video! This has been the best video for this pool! You have helped me a lot!

[trishc]

Thanks. Watching from New Zealand and cleaning the pool as we come into summer. Very helpful thanks.

[gamergye]

You are like the only guy on youtube with this pool, thank you!

[ralaci]

I love you man. One of the most useful videos I have seen this year. We totally hooked-up the vacuum the wrong way and it did not work.

[robertdean]

I appreciate all your pool advice I've had several pools just not the 1500 pump I need to get the adapter to hose for inside the pool and that filter between the vacuum head and suction thank you sir

Awesome video bud. I've had the same pool for 3 years with all the parts. Couldn't find any videos on how to make that vac work let alone how to set it up. I would submerge myself with a long extension on my shop vac and just get what I could after scrubbing the bottom with only a broom. Have my kid turn it on and off on and off to minimize water intake. It somewhat did the trick but a total pain in the ass. With this video, I was able to set it up in 10mins and do it the right way👍. Thank you sir!!
