How do you vacuum to waste on above ground pool??

Question

We have an above ground vinyl pool with a small pump. The two hoses attach through the vinyl walls into the pump. One hose goes to the section where the filter spins and the other hose into the solid motor part. It has a paper filter and spins when it's running. I keep reading you have to vacuum to waste to remove fine sediment on the bottom of the pool. How do you do that??? There's no option on this small pump accept plug it in.

Our only option for vacuuming has been this accessory that attaches to the garden hose and tap water which only stirs this fine sediment around and doesn't remove it creating a mess of cloudy greenish water. Tried using algaecide and other chemical treatments but unless the existing sediment can be removed the bottom of the pool is awful looking and the water is greenish like lake water. This is a very basic pool set up with no fancy pump with options to use sand or whatever else there is out there. How do we solve this issue?? Please let me know. T

some pools have a multi port vaule near you pump and filter.this also has a handle that you push down and turn. on face of vaule there are spots that filter, waste , back wash ,closed, recirculate.turn off pump then move handle to the postion you want. after you finish do same  as above turn off and move handle be sure to chek pressure on tank first as the pressure may be to high therefore no suction. just go to back wash using same steps turn off pump move to backwash then so on pool company owner
