can you use the 4 wheel model with a dedicated suction line hook up versus the skimmer?

Yes, that is the way mine is hooked up. Still after over a year, this is the best pool cleaner I have ever seen. I will never not have one in my pool.

Yes you can. The suction is not affected by a longer hose, the longer hose will let you route the run off further away from the pumped area.

You will need threads on the return. I have an old lol with one skimmer and return also.

In theory, yes. But it would requite a Ton of mods. I would use the sca-301 for sumps only. If space is an issue, they make small, air-stone powered skimmers that don't require a lot of space. They work best if water level stays constant.

I'm not sure on bypassing, I do know it doesn't work properly if your skimmer is not one that is an in wall skimmer.

Sorry, I don't know but I would assume so. Mine is attached to the skimmer.

It is possible, however I am not positive. I think that there is enough adjustment in the clamp that would allow it to go over the top. The thing that would concern me would be once you hook it up to the filter return, there is a little pressure on the hose that has a tendency to tip the skimmer. Not sure if the inflatable ring would be strong enough to keep this from happening. So it may not work properly. If there is a return policy you could always try it and if it don't work properly send it back. Hope this helps

This hose is a vacuum hose that fits into the filter/pump skimmer. Not designed to hook directly to filter pump. There are separate hoses for that.

I bought this just in case I needed it but I was able to just run my new hose off of the outlet on the skimmer box motor. I am able to run twice the filtration since I have a filter in my skimmer box as well as my external pump.

Should be no problem adding between pool skimmer and pump. May have to pickup PVC fittings (adapters and reducers, etc.)

The hose will be short for the side opposite the skimmer, pole is a decent length. I use this kit for a 15'X30'X52" oval and had to get another hose to reach everywhere. The tools are good. The cleaning head is not the biggest, but jump in and enjoy the water while vacuuming!

I am saying this based on my experience, I had control valve set more suction to baracuda than skimmer. Once I changed set up to be neutral for sharing suction power between baracuda and skimmer, it started behaving the way it should. I hope this resolve your problem

I have never used a skimmer, but I would assume it would attach 2 the same outlet

Yes that's where it attaches. This one does not attach to the skimmer. This is a great vacuum
2207627
I don't think you can. It attaches to the end of vac. I don't see how it can be attached to the skimmer but You should probably ask the provider.

Yes. You just push in the plastic tabs in the pole and the skimmer comes off or attaches as needed.
