    A High Capacity Swiming Pool Vacuum Attachment

    This is one of those tools that I hesitate to post because it is embarrassingly simple. Hopefully, someone out there will find it useful.

    This is an attachment for my outdoor swimming pool vacuum line that enables me to remove a lot of debris quickly.

    I like your vacuum idea.
    Every summer I threaten to buy an above ground pool. However, life always seems to get in the way of my actually carrying through with my threat. The same thought goes with me getting a motorcycle in the spring If I make it past June without getting one, I can make it until the next year.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    If your pool pump has a "Bypass to waste" option on the filter selector you can hoover this stuff straight out and not have it go through the filter.

    That is a new one to me. All I can do is filter or backflush. However, the in-line filter is large and does a good job plus is easy to empty.
