Point
the leaf rake to the center of the pool and move the net up
and down to clean the center. Pull the rake in direction of
your body and verify that you keep the rake at an angle. This
will help you trap and bring in any debris that is hanging out
in the middle of the pool.
Vacuuming
the bottom of the pool is the next step in the process.
After first making sure to connect the hose to the vacuum
and placing the unit underwater, you are going to need to
siphon the hose so that it is filled with water. You do
this so that your vacuum is not sucking air in the beginning
as this can reduce the life of the unit. Then, simply vacuum
the bottom of the pool until you are satisfied.

Brush the sides of the pool after vacuuming the pool floor.
It may seem counterintuitive because some debris will fall to
the pool bottom. However, this is much faster then brushing
first and waiting for the debris to land on the pool bottom
before vacuuming. If you have more time then brush first. It
is really up to you. If you do brush first then wait about a
half hour after brushing to begin vacuuming.
Point
the brush head at downward angle and brush along the sides of
the pool. Use a downward brushing method and keep the brush
straight the whole time until you touch the pool bottom. Bring
the brush back up to the surface with care. Repeat this method
around all sides of the pool.
Guess
what? You have just cleaned your pool easily and all by yourself.
That wasn't too much of hassle. Right? It is in your best interests
to clean periodically to avoid massive debris build up. Take
heed of the steps listed above and your pool will be clean and
your pocket book won't be strained.
