How to Use a Venturi Vacuum Pool Maintenance Kit

A Venturi vacuum pool maintenance kit cleans aboveground pools and spas. Use it to clean the pool or spa as often as once a day, or as needed, depending on how often the water is used. The kit comes with a three-piece pole to which you connect a leaf skimmer or vacuum head attachment. The leaf skimmer removes leaves and other debris from the top of the water, while the vacuum cleans the bottom of the pool or spa. When used together, the attachments should keep the water relatively clean.
