Intex 28002E Cleaning Maintenance Swimming Pool Kit with Vacuum, Surface Skimmer, and Telescoping Pole for Above Ground Pools (Pool Sold Separately)

I am honestly stunned at how great this thing is. I am in no way affiliated with Intex, just a guy who, like a trillion others, bought a pool during quarantine. I have literally never owned or cared for a pool in my life. Alas, as they say, "happy wofe, happy life." I wasnt sure how I would vacuum the pool and some of them were outrageously expensive (a floor cleaning robot? What??) I stumbled upon this little combo which included the skimmer, also a must have for pool care. I am not even kidding, I enjoy vacuuming the pool with this thing. I dont know what kind of crazy magic it does, but basically you hook a little net to the vacuum head and attach your garden hose to it. The hose blasts water back into the net along with dirt, leaves, whatever. They stay in the net, and I am happy. A bonus that I didnt see mentioned is that your hose puts back some of the water you lose to splash out, evaporation, etc. Sweet! The pole is sturdy, the thing just works. All in all the vacuum alone is worth the price, let alone the fact it comes with a skimmer too!! This thing is great!!

I was skeptical about buying this based on the reviews on some people saying that it wasn't worth it. In my opinion after I bought it I was really delighted to see how well it worked and I believe it was of good value. This really is not a product for a large pool such as an inground pool but for a small aboveground pool this works perfectly. Fits well on the hose, sucks up debris very well and easy to clean and put away. I recommend this for those looking to clean their above ground pool on a regular basis. I think it works best when you use it regularly, to pick up small debris and with slow motions over the pool bottom. It can suck up leaves but I pick those up in other ways. I started off by going to the pool store and the pool guy recommended I buy an attachment, hose and a different vacuum... which did not work because my pump was not strong enough. Waste of money... so I ended up with this product, cheaper, connects to the hose and works well on our Intex above ground pool. I would recommend it to anyone.

Works as expected and of acceptable quality for the price I paid.

This is perfect for small inflatable pools or hot tubs .. The vacuum worked ok..and the skimmer and other attachments came on and off easily. The length adjustment was nice.And skimmer did its job. For the price. It was a great deal. I have small 4’ round inflatable pool and this was perfect for it.

Update 2: 10 micron sock was good but still noticed a small cloud of silt when vacuuming. This is the real deal fix for this product. 1 micron filter socks. Works better than any other fix it have found. Absolutely no silt cloud.

Here is a solution that might work better. I tried old socks, tee shirts and upright vacuum filters until I discovered aquarium filter socks at 200 microns did a good job but didn't remove the finest if silt. Last week I found this filter bag at 5 microns (the smaller micron rating the smaller particles it will remove) 5 micron is about the finest you can get and with the size of this bag at 14" long the flow rate is still good enough to pick even the large pieces. The price on Amazon is under $10. I zip-tie it to the vacuum each time for a secure hold and will now have a sparkling clean pool.

Does a good job picking up large debris but the screen is similar to a skim net. After a month I noticed fine particles at the bottom of the pool and would get cloudy when someone was swimming. A vacuum that works with the pool paper filter I believe is the best option. If they had a paper filter attachment for this I would give it 5 stars.

Bought this product for cleaning a 10 ft. x 30 in. blow-up pool. It FAR exceeded my expectations! Very much worth the $20 to not have to empty and re-fill every time there's dirt on the bottom! I was amazed at the cleaning job it did! The only (minor) issue is that the hose is on while vacuuming, so it fills the pool in the process. Not too serious, as the kids splash it out, or I scoop it out so it doesn't exceed the 'fill' line on the blow-up rim. Well worth it for the price!

Update: 7-2-14 Hey all, I finally figured out how to add pictures of my invention to Amazon so everybody can see for them selves. I do hope this helps you with your cleaner and gives you many clean pool days. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Now on to your regularly scheduled review : ) I know that sometimes you can't expect to much for $ 20 bucks but I thought I would give some tips and understanding on this kit anyway. First the pole. It is telescopic and made for a smaller pool but seems to be very well made and does not bend when using. Next was the net. At first I thought that is was not to my liking as it is a flat net with no give in the middle to catch things. But after using it a couple of times I decided that this was even better. It does a great job of catching the bugs and dog hair. And when you empty it you don't have to fiddle with the blinging net to get the stuff out. Just turn it over and bounce the pole over your hand and the stuff just falls off. Now on to the vacuum head assembly. The head itself is very well made and will last for years if treated right. It has a nozzle that points 90 degrees towards the net that blasts water through the net and creates a very noticeable vacuum from the bottom picking up most anything in it's way. it also has a small brush and two wheels to help with the cleaning. And if I was living somewhere where the only thing I needed to vacuum was a few bugs and leafs then that would be it. But, even when I lived in WA I still got fine dust in my pool floor. And now I live in AZ where fine dust is a way of life, this net does not work at all. So being the creative guy I am I thought, well I will just build me a better catching bag. I had a few extra Micro fiber towels and decided to sew one up in the same configuration as the net and see what I got. Well after a good cleaning it seemed I had success. But alas it was not to be. after about an hour I looked to see, and all that fine dust was on the bottom of the pool again. Back to the drawing board. So after a couple of other design flaws I came up with the perfect match. As a old Fish tank guy I remembered using fine flax for the tank filters and thought hey, this might work. So I found one of my old pillows and cut some of the fill out and put it in my new micro fiber towel net and used an old tube 2" long the same size as the output of the vacuum head and stuffed it in the forward center of the bag so the water would have to travel up the bag before getting into the filter media and vacuumed away. After 2 hours my pool was still perfect with no dust left over. I then put a little clip on the pole to hold the bag still. It's kinda funny, it looks like a old Kirby vacuum bag when it's doing its job. So now I have a great pool vacuum and enough filter media to last me through the summer. And if I need more I just go and buy a cheap $ 6 buck pillow and I'm good for another year. Life is great : )

Vacuum works great! Is easy to set up. Is easy to use. Definitely worth having.

In short: It does what it says without any issues. Very satisfied, cleaned a 10 ft pool in 10 minutes. I recommend it.

aspire bien. Tres pratique. Je recommande.

buen producto de buen material y recomendable

Non avendo una pompa filtro con ricircolo ho dovuto optare per questa soluzione che immette acqua nella piscina ma ha un grande potere aspirante. Ovviamente adatto a piscine di piccole dimensioni.

Funciona bien aunque el saquito se agujereado por desgaste en poco tiempo. Si no quieres gastar cumple para piscina 5 *1.22
