This might be a stupid question, but is this just the vacuum head? Do I need to buy a vacuum separately? Never had a pool before, so I'm a beginner...

It is only the vacuum head. It needs to be connected to the skimmer return with a hose. The filter provides the suction. I suggest you go to your local pool store to see how this is done.

yes, it's just the brush part that you have to attach to the pole you have to have.

Yes it's just the head. You'll need a pole a hose and a fitting to attach to the filter. If you have a concrete pool I would advise against this head though. It is tough to move across the pool floor.

You use the water return (at the skimmer basket) to create the suction for the vacuum head. This item is just the vacuum head. You also need a long pool pole to attach to the head and a long vacuum hose to run from the head to the water intake at the skimmer basket. These other items are available on Amazon or any pool store. Good Luck and I hope this helped.

Michelle, I was new to the vacuum at least. This is the head that attaches to a hose that you plug in where your Kreepy Krawly filters into the wall. Then, you attach a pole so as to navigate it around the pool (sucking up debris). I ended up purchasing a separate hose, but you can just disconnect the head to your Kreepy and attach this to you existing Kreepy hose. However, you will probably need extra joint pieces (female and/or male) depending because this vacuum head didn't directly attach onto either my Kreepy hose OR the new hose. This is a very poor, cheap design. I wouldn't recommend it. Good luck and hope I helped! Michelle, I was new to the vacuum at least.

We had to use a hose reducer for the pool connection. But I think this is more a connector problem than the hose size. My previous pool's inline connection accommodated the hose size. I think the inline on this pool might be smaller because no hose fits it. Sorry I couldnt be more help but its a great vacuum.

Sandra, no it doesn't and BTW , I would not recommend this product, the swivel joint on top of this vacuum attachment cracked after only 2-3 cleanings and the worst part, it is filled with sand and it spilled out all over the pool, I would recommend reading other reviews on this to see if others had the same issue .

Mines came with the saltwater system and for month 1 of using the pool there is little maintenance and the water remains clear. I got the deluxe vaccum system with the purchase to clean debris and dirt in the bottom of the pool.... works fine.

No, it's just the vacuum head but it works great. We have three large dogs that never stop shedding. This head doesn't clog or get all tangled up with hair. We love it

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.

Mine came with hose and debris bag. My pool guy did the install but I don't think he had to buy anything extra. Purchased it 6 months ago and I've been very happy.

No, it's a vacuum. It works off the suction provided by your pool to suck up dirt and debris.

the caddy is a 2-wheeled cart with a platform onto which you can load the vacuum -- the manufacturer's website should have a picture. if the weight of the vacuum isn't a problem for you, you can do without it. if you're thinking of buying the caddy, do be aware that it doesn't roll well over grass and is really only usable on a flat, even surface (deck or patio). I like the SharkVac better than I did at first because it's quite a workhorse, but still can't get over the fact that when you pull it out of the pool, it dumps half of what it picked up back into the water! Not a good design.

I'm not exactly sure. It's much stronger than the one that comes with the pool, though. I personally use a home made vacuum i made :)

Remove the paper filter cartridge and the micron sock from the junk pump that came with your pool. Hook it up to the skimmer and hook up a waste hose to it and use it as a vacuum. Works great and you don't have to use your combo that your gonna buy.

Absolutely! Everything it lists comes woth the pool. If your ground site is level and prepared, this is easy to set up. Be prepared to spend time smoothing all wrinkles as the pool begins to fill and the reward will be easy vacuuming. Our family loves this pool set!

I would use the entire box. Vacuuming the pool is important, but NOT with the filter vacuum that comes with most of the smaller above ground pools. I use a reverse suction method with my garden hose and some adapted shop vac attachments. You can add fresh water after you get all the algae removed to return the pool to the depth it is designed to be. One tip for that last little bit is to take a wide push broom and use it to scrub the interior pool sides and bottom. Then push the broom around in the pool quickly for about 15 laps. Stop and watch the last bits go to the center where you can vacuum them out. Follow up with some algaecide. I would use the entire box.

That's how I have mine set up and it works great. I am a big fan for this vacuum. My pool has never been cleaner.

I used the hose from the automatic pool cleaner. The pole and hose are the standard. I do believe that the Hayward unit comes with two different sized heads for different hose sizes. I bought the "used" model from Amazon for considerably less. What I received was a brand new unit in a squashed box.

One year we had a pump. It was completely useless and brings the price of what I think of a "disposable" pool way up. This summer we got the one without the pump. It's the same deal. We keep it covered, add chlorine every day, and use a skimmer. We empty it and refill it every week or two. It has stayed pretty clean so far and it gets used on a regular basis. Our dog even likes to play in it. Hope this was helpful. :-D
