Can you use this skimmer socks with this model? It looks like the handle could get in the way, but it might be removable.

Not familiar with "skimmer socks", sorry, but definitely the metal rod handle can be removed. The basket will flex just enough for it to be popped out.

I have the same basket and the handle is removable. If you apply some pressure to the basket, it will deform and voila! The end of the handle can be popped out of its little sock.

The handle is only that piece in the picture that is coated with plastic. I would not detach the handle and if you did you might jeopardize it in the future. I would either ask the manufacturer or invest in a product that has a connection to where you can interchange handles and hooks for various uses. Airhead calls this a water ski rope for a reason and they make a tubing rope as well.

no way. I threw this away and got a different one (with a suction grip handle). Totally wasted my money on this mule surf model.

No. This must be attached to the return line. I used mine one season, didn't work all that well. Would not buy unless you did not have a skimmer at all.

Hi not 100% sure as mine is a hydrotool skimmer but is 12 yrs old if this helps my vac plate is flat 8929 and these baskets fit, and the new vac plates have a lip have a lip on them. Hope this helps, Sherman

Yes, I do not have a skimmer either. It connects to the intake side! Works great!

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

You can add pipe to the depth you need. I would not want to extend the handles.

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

you just put it inline with the hose attached to your filter intake.. I use mine in line with a leaf canister that has a skimmer sock in it.. this catches fine dirt and debris so they don't go into my sand filter.. when you're done you just rinse the sock off..

Hi Deb! Well, actually I think there are people that have tried it adapting some sort of connection, but I don't recall what they've used. The SkimmerMotion was designed specifically to be used with the majority of the standard suction cleaners out there. Maybe it's an "at your own risk" decision? Sorry I couldn't be of much more help!

Yes, but I'm pretty sure that's how my handle snapped off. Perhaps if your very careful for the 32oz ones, it will last longer, but you need the long handle for leverage. The video on their website is helpful.

I found this to be a strange question, but yes it fits on the handle. The brush is about 2" round and I doubt if it would really be an effective way to vacuum up dust. I've used it to vacuum behind appliances and to vacuum molding.

In considering this question I realize that my review is all wet, because I tried to use these with a hydro handle NOT a quatro handle, so maybe that's why I had a problem - maybe they're not interchangeable?

I'm assuming you can. You will need two hoses to do this. The unit is designed for pool cleaners that the hoses that have a larger end on one end and a smaller one on the other. And you also need a small hose between the Hayward Pool vac Navigator and your skimmer. You would just have to work this out.

I have not had a problem with the brush coming off. The fit is tight between the handle and the brush. If yours is a little loose, maybe you could wrap the end of the handle with one or more layers of electrical tape to take up the slack.
