Pool owners...advice please...

[Mark V8]

I've noticed a little debris on the bottom of the pool floor, so how best to remove it ?
I called the pool installation company but thier advice was to simply buy one of thier robotic pump cleaners for £400...now considering this little bit of stuff has taken 6 months to accumulate and would take 15 minutes to remove, I see that as a false economy.
I have a device, shaped like a large hoover head, with little wheels underneath and a socket for a tube. I also have a length of tubing that fits this nozzle, and an aluminium pole. Now the question is, where do I attach this ?
There are a pair of (jet tubes?) the same diameter at one end of the pool so I'm sure it must attach to one of these, although I'm at a loss as to how to produce the suction required......

The pool is approx 120 cubic metres if this helps.....

Your pool hoover tube should attach to your standard pool filter inlet.

Somewhere aroudn the edge of the pool is a box with a lid on it and a basket in it thats sucking water into the filter. The end of your vacuum cleaner hose thing should plug into there.

Get a pool guy to come round and give you a rundown on everything.

And get a Kreepy Krawly. They save loads of time and keep the pool spotless. Stuff will be building up on the pools bottom all the time, you just cant see all of it.

PHer Tim the Pool Man is a erm...Pool man. Not that local though....

As has been said, either attatch a pipe to the filter inlet and it will suck it up as you move it round, or get a kreepy krawly and that will do it for you.

Predictably our Kreepy Krawly has just decided to break....

I just lifted out one of the baskets (where the Shock-it etc goes) and sure enough there is a socket for the tube.
I see what you mean by clouds of 'dirt you can't see' on the bottom so I'll give it a day to settle and then carry on.
Thanks guys for the speedy responses.

You may have a seperate vacuum point in the pool. This will have a flap that lifts thus allowing you to plug in the vacuum hose. It's a lot easier than messing around with the skimmer basket all the time. If you do have one, remember you won't open it with the pump running

Do it correctly!

Attach nossle to the head. Hold other end up to a jet and fill the hose with water/remove the air.

You need to take the basket out of the dirt catcher and insert the hose into the hole. without letting air get in the pipe, so cover it with a hand when its not in the pool water.

Close the other dirt catcher and scrub on the floor.
