- 1). Locate a spot between the pool skimmer, located on the side of the pool, and the pool filter. Ensure the area is level for maximum water flow; if needed, use paving stones.
- 2). Connect a piece of pool hose to the outlet valve on the skimmer. The outlet valve is located on the bottom of the skimmer, and allows water to flow out of the skimmer. Connect the opposite side of the hose to the inlet valve, located on the side of the pool pump. Place a pool hose clamp on both ends of the pool hose and secure using a flat head screwdriver. This will prevent the hoses from leaking and ensure a tight fit to the components.
- 3). Connect another piece of pool hose to the outlet valve on the pool pump. The outlet valve is usually located on the right side of the pool pump. Connect the opposite side of the hose to the inlet valve on the pool filter. Depending on the type of filter, the valve is located on the bottom left side of the filter, or on the top mount of the filter. Place a hose clamp on each end of the pool hose, and secure the clamps with the screwdriver.
- 4). Turn the pool pump on by plugging the pump into an electrical outlet. The pump is now connected and ready for use.
