In essence, "vac to waste" is a way to remove debris from your pool without it going through your filter, which is useful in specific situations.
When you have a significant algae or debris problem in your pool, 'vac to waste' is a method of vacuuming that bypasses your filter entirely. Instead of the algae-filled water going through your filter and potentially clogging it, the water and algae are sucked up by the vacuum and sent directly out of the pool through the waste line. This is crucial because:
Preventing Filter Clogging: Algae, especially in large quantities, can quickly clog a pool filter, reducing its efficiency and requiring frequent cleaning. 'Vac to waste' avoids this issue.
Efficient Removal: By sending the algae directly out of the pool, you're physically removing it from the system, rather than just trapping it in the filter. This speeds up the cleaning process and reduces the chances of the algae re-blooming.
Post-Treatment Cleanup: Often, after treating a pool with chemicals to kill algae, there's a lot of dead algae that settles on the bottom. 'Vac to waste' is the most effective way to remove this dead algae from the bottom of the pool without overwhelming the filter.
