There were two choices listed in the book. Went to a store that sold them, knew which one we needed when saw it. One has threads and the other did not.

I'm not sure, I just plug it into the return fitting where the skimmer basket is located. You need to keep the debris basket emptied next to your pump however.

I would like to find an attachment as well. With my previous inground pool I had no problem but above ground is different.

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

Not the most efficient skimmer, the one I got worked for half a day or less ... I would go for the fluval sea skimmer !same size :)

Not sure of the Hayward measurement...don't even know the make of my skimmer. I've had a hard time trying to find one with a minimum width of 8.5 inches.

go to this link for poolskim and at the bottom you will need to purchase either the 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch adapter depending on your return size. It was worth every penny no more floating leaves in my pool http://www.poolskimusa.com/install.htm

I use a segmented hose that is in 3' lengths. One length attaches to the vacuum brush I use and the other end of it goes to the intake of the leaf trap. Then I attach the remaining segments to the outlet and then into the skimmer adapter port.

The attachment hone for the skimmer to the inside of the pool is included. We had trouble with the wall mount fitting because we have the ultra frame pool and the skimmer is really made for the round frame not the the flat frame. We used a half gallon jug filled with sand and hung it on the inside to keep the skimmer from floating up off the wall. Other than that it is ready out of the box.

I have an above ground pool...Intex style. It fits the filter/pump/skimmer attachment.

It is a standard size to fit most skimmers; mine fit perfectly. Hope this helps!

Measure the top of the skimmer basket in the skimmer. Which is important for top plate fit right on top of basket inside of skimmer. You may need some silocone adhesive or telon tape to wrap around nozzle on plate to keep elbow connection stable. You can purchase one that comes as one piece instead of two parts.

Ginny, This cover is 9" across, so I think it is what your looking for. If your Skimmer measures more then 9" across the opening then it will fall inside. If it is less then 9" the cover will sit on top of your skimmer. I needed exactly 9" and this was the right cover for me. I have skimmers and purchased two covers. The hole in the middle makes it easy to remove. Hope this is helpful. sorry couldn't reply sooner to your request.

any type of air pump will work but depending on what size skimmer you are getting you will need to deal with the water pressure, so i would recommend a decently strong air pump, some people suggest using 2 air pumps but i only have a Tetra whisper for 40 gal and it works fine.

I was very unhappy with this skimmer because of the design, mine leaked. I would puchase another brand. I have different pump/ filter on mine, not familiar with the standard one you have. You may want to chk out site called troublefreepool.com for lots of ideas

I don't know, I have a Hayward skimmer and had to heavily cut this to fit properly. I no longer use it since I just bought it to pass inspection.

Yes that's where it attaches. This one does not attach to the skimmer. This is a great vacuum

The pole it attaches has 2 small holes drilled into it about 2 inches from the end. A skimmer or net has 2 spring-loaded connectors that spring open and protrude through the holes on the pole to hold the skimmer in place. That's my novicel description of it.

Not sure, do you have a soft pool, if so I believe the skimmer is smaller. The ones at walmart or kmart I now are smaller, and this wouldn't fit, too big.
