Do I need anything else to use this properly, such as a pump? Or does it have everything it needs to supply the suction?

The Fluval EDGE Gravel Cleaner features an easy-start valve that automatically begins siphoning by a simple up and down motion in the water. As you clean the aquarium, the gravel cleaner generates a continuous flow of water that effectively sucks up dirt and debris and returns clean gravel back to the bottom of the aquarium. Dirty water is expelled into a bucket. The gravel cleaner comes with two cleaning attachments that allow precision cleaning: a gravel head for deep cleaning and a slim nozzle head for hard to reach areas. The precision heads are especially effective in planted and decorated aquariums. The gravel cleaner features an exclusive gravel guard that prevents gravel from clogging the tube. The gravel cleaner comes with a 38.1 cm (15 in) gravel tube for 23 L aquariums and an additional 38.1 cm (15 in) extension tube for 46 L aquariums.

It comes with everything you need. You put it in the water and shake it back and forth and it sucks up the water from your tank out the pipe. It works as a siphon. Look up siphons to get a good understanding.

The Fluval edge gravel cleaner works very well in my 6 gallon aquarium, the flow works using gravity. I am very pleased for the purpose I am using it. I would not suggest it for an aquarium that is much larger.

This does not come with a pump. You would have to siphon yourself. Only issue I experienced with this product was a fold in the tube (due to packaging) limited water flow if you did not pinch it.

No not necessary - it has an internal tank. I did not have any trouble with the item but it is small and may not work for a large area.

No, you need a special 3000 psi hand pump, scuba tank, or high pressure air compressor. I use a hand pump.

There is a video on youtube that show you how to connect to that pump. the vacum bring a couple of adapters so I said yes.

i would definitely use a pump or compressor. it is possible by mouth but that would take a while, depending on how much air you have. lol

I use a Shop Vac to provide the suction. On both the inlet side and the suction side, I use a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" rubber coupling with appropriate hose clamps. Works just fine.

The tool is not a vacuum itself. You attach the suction hose from the pool pump/filtering system to the top of the tool and that provides the suctioning power. I have found that this picks up everything that can fit through the hose and will get all loose dirt up. Just keep in mind that whatever is sucked up goes into the pool filtration system, so if the pool is really dirty you may have to clean the filtering system later.

The Suction Pool Cleaner is better because it uses water pressure to run while your pool pump is running. No additional power is necessary. In addition, your pool must already have a connecting port for the Suction Cleaner to work.

One request though. I think, u should make the suction more powerful and it will be for better. Trust me will be for better. Otherwise it's perfect .

No air pump included. You probably don't really need one, though, since the included hang-on-back filter causes plenty of surface agitation to aerate the water.

No pump, I used my home compressor. You can use an inexpensive foot pump. Fyi have 2 of these floats in my pool love them.

No. It comes with a small recharge cord similar to a cell phone that plugs into the end.And I'm still not satisfied with the suction power of this model. I'm starting to wonder if I got a decfective item, frankly.

It does have a sweeping action and no, it does not need a booster pump. It runs on the suction side of the pump system.

It does not need suction. Just covering the drain with this prevents water from draining. Perhaps the weight of the water holds it down, but this stopper does the job.

No pump, just the tube and hose. I was unable to get the siphon going with just using the up and down motion that its states. I have to suck the water into the hose then place hose into the bucket.

It comes with a little pump that works pretty well. That's all I can tell you. :)

It relies 100% on suction alone, they give you a clear plastic inline guage so as to adjust suction for "optimal" performance. Hope this helps.
