This comes with an adapter that I use for my vacuum. I love this skimmer. Works like a charm. Pro tip. Put it in front of a leg and tie it down.

It's totally up to you. If you don't like spending time with a net hand cleaning, the skimmer does the surface cleaning and it picks up tiny gnats and pollen better then a net. I found I needed two different size hoses because, even though the adapters are the same size and fit the pool outtake port, the vacuum and skimmer hose connections to the adapters are different sizes.

You hook it up to the same place where you would attach the hose for vacuuming the pool manually, and you put the lid into the skimmer basket so that the vacuum will have suction, just like you would if you were vacuuming manually. Hope that helps.

No, it does not come with an adapter for the pool, the only usable parts are the pole and nets, the vacuum is a piece of trash, it does not hold together and comes apart inside the pool, waste of money if you ask me.

I have the 18 foot Intex ultra frame pool. the skimmer would not attach to the frame the c-clamp was to small and the adaptor for the inflatable ring was to big. I ended up buying the adaptor set for the inlet also. It can be done but I had to make my own adaptor for the skimmer when I built a deck around the pool.

I put it on a 20 foot round Intex pool, I used the included hoses and they hooked up with no adapters. Didn't come with back wash hose, but you really don't need it. We didn't have to buy any additional parts & had it up & running in about 20 minutes.

By Intex they are meaning the BRAND Intex Pool Corp. That is also the above ground pool I have. I am going to go ahead and order the universal adaptor when I order the Vac-Sweep. If the one I order works I will update the Q & A.

if you have an intex pool, all of the needed parts and connectors are in the box or use the ones that currently exist on your pool. I didn't have anyconnection issues when i hooked mine up.

Yes, I have the 16ft x 36" which is a 5000 gallon pool. If it is an intex, no adapters are needed.

I'm not a pool expert. But, I would say this pump/filter would be sufficient. I would buy it. Especially knowing the amount of water circulation in my pool after buying my Hayward filter/pump. I would think you would be very satisfied. You will need to buy a stronger vacuum hose and 6- 2" or 2.5" hose clamps! The hoses that come with the pump/filter will connect direct to your factory Intex water inlet valves!!! Terry

Right now using a self made connections. (pvc pipe coupler and a 1.5 D inch hose), remove hose to pump from pool and attach adapter and hose for cleaning - about $3.00 for adapter and hose was about $30.00 do the vacuum from with in pool with just the hose, don't really use a vacuum sorry if not much help.

It comes with an attachment that connects to pump suction inside an Intex pool where you connect the vacuum hose. The attachment is not a great fit, but overall the kit works well.

You should be able to hook it up to your filter. You may have to get creative with fittings and decide if you want to hard pipe your filter to the skimmer or use hoses. The tricky part will be cutting an opening in the side of your pool. It is very important that you make sure the skimmer is level. I hope this helps you. Good luck

It should be connected to the pump. There should be a fitting for this; they are often located in the bottom of the skimmer, under the basket. You must have a strainer between the vacuum hose and the pump to protect the impeller. This vacuum head can be used with 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" vacuum hose.

I have a vacuum line and that's what I attach it to. I don't use the skimmer for the vacuum.

The skimmer came with a few adapters that screw onto the water intake. Where the hose screws onto the pool to suck water into the pump. The adapter will screw onto the inside of the pool on the hose connector. And there is a hose that goes from the adaptor to the skimmer. It was very simple and the skimmer works very well. I hope this helps you some. It's kinda hard to explain.

Hello, the skimmer worked great and it did fit our pool which was a 15ft x 48' best way pool that is just like the intex. Funny you wrote today, I just bought a Coleman 16x 48 today and plan on using the skimbi with it this year...hope that helps...:)
