is this a stand alone unit (ie can i just put the hoses into the water and it will operate) or do I need to connect it to the pond pump?

It has to be connected to the pump, it is not a stand alone,however it can be used in the pond or out.

I never got to use this product as it arrived broken. I exchanged it and that one also arrived broken so I sent it back and got my refund. However, in doing our research on this unit you will need to connect it to the pump as the pump pushes the water through the unit. Good luck.

I connected it to the pond pump because the water has to flow through the chamber of the UV tube to kill the microorganisms. By the way, it's awesome! The pond is crystal clear always!

It is out of the water next to the filter. It is very simple to hook up. There is the inflow line and the out flow line to the filter. Plug it in and you are done. Our water was green. We live in the desert where it gets over 120 degrees in the summer. This UV light cleaned and cleared our water in three days. It is still clear a year later. I highly recommend this product.

You will need a pump, I am running two 330gph pond pumps, I have them both submerged in the last compartment of the sump. I am running a corallife 65g skimmer in the center compartment.

Two hoses are included, one for gravity drainage of the unit, and a hose that attaches to the built-in drain pump. For my application of almost continuous operation, the drain pump and hose work very well.

The plastic "filter" on the unit pops off, and there is a round fitting on the pump where you can attach a connector to a separate filter unit. That's how I set mine up.

Yes u need a hose for the discharge side of the pump. This is for clean up not permanent installation. I use it only for spills or flooding and have a sump pump that has a built in float installed for seepage.

It does have a connector for a garden hose. Not exactly sure how far your trying to pump it. This pump Can't be totally submersed under water, just in case you are talking about putting it at the bottom of a barrel. It will only lift water about 4 ft above it, so take that into consideration. Might be ok for a small garden or light watering, since it's run off of batteries. Feel free to ask me again, if you still need assistance. Thank you very much, Jt's Online Deals!

Yes it does. I have mine connected to a sump pump but you can use it either way.

I don't think it would work to have pump in the skimmer? I installed my skimmer at the edge of the pond at water level. My pump is not an underwater pump. I have it set up just like a swimming pool and it works awesome!!

It comes with an attachment for your garden hose. It drains very very slow just a heads up. Not sure where to get a float. I didn't need one

Yes. You hook your hose up to it, it comes with a valve to turn the water on and off.

You connect it via a venturi tap on the water return. You will need to provide power and a control for it. The control is usually part of the hot tub control unit.

On the back wall, about an inch off the bottom of it, there's the host attachment. This is a threaded connection in which it comes with an adapter that screws into that and gives you the laguna quick click/fit connection.To drain it you could pop the hose off and let it drain but that will leave an inch of water in there. Also once the pump is turned off that feeds that hose the water drains down back into the pond, or so mine does (don't see why everyone else's wouldn't either).

The system comes with two connection hoses but no inlet and outlet valves. This is the best system I ever owned, just about maintenance free other than wash off the paper filter or just replace it. I did have to come up with adapters because I had bought a different pool.

No it hooks up to your existing pump. it was pretty easy to hook up but you will probably need to get extra hoses.

Yes. You attach a garden hose to run the sprinklers. I read a review that said they put a small pump in the pool and recycled the water. Obviously, using a GFI.

You do not have to use pump at all. Its more about how you hook up hoses. The motor is the same regardless if you use as vac or pump.

U have to assembly the pump to the filter only thing u have to assembly. Then u connect the hose to the skimmer then connect a hose from filter back to swimming pool.
