Does the Poolmaster 27400 Classic Air Vinyl Vacuum Head operate with water from garden hose or does it need to use the pool filter and if so what capa

It works with suction from the pool filter system. Attaches to skimmer by a vacuum hose

It should be connected to the pump. There should be a fitting for this; they are often located in the bottom of the skimmer, under the basket. You must have a strainer between the vacuum hose and the pump to protect the impeller. This vacuum head can be used with 1 1/2" or 1 1/4" vacuum hose.

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.

You hook it up to the side of the pool. The skimmer basket is not powerful enough to run it and you might ruin the basket.I have an above ground pool and I found that this cleaner would not work for me as it climbs right out of the pool. When it does this it breaks suction of course and can ruin your pool filter.Hope this helps.Judy

It hooks to the filtration just like a regular pool vacuum. It does come with the hoses, a water flow regulator, and hose weights.

The one I bought did. It's hard to imagine that they'd sell it to you without those items. Incidentally, it's a great piece of equipment. I plumbed it myself and it works beautifully, but be sure and maintain it properly. I open it up and hose the filter off each Saturday as part of my routine pool maintenance.

If you use the smaller attachment you can simply hook up to intake with vacuum hose and suck out the algae. I have a sand filter pump, and it works great. Do not know about the standard filters that come with the above ground intex pools.

The Poolcleaner is the vacuum that sucks debris up from the bottom of the pool. Your pool's plumbing has a basket to catch this stuff. However if you have any tall trees nearby, that's probably too much for that basket to handle. So, you will need the leaf canister if that's the case.

Yes. The bucket and hose set-up is just a water trap for the drywall dust. It keeps the dust from ruining your shopvac or other vacuum source. The dust gets pulld into the water and settles there leaving relatively little dust in the airstream entering the vac.Do be careful, howver, not to kick over the bucket while sanding as it could sent a shot of water up into your vac. Not too big an issue if using a wet/dry vac but more cataqstrophic if not using a water-proof vac.

No, the skimmer utilizes the suction side of the pump via a short hose from the skimmer to the wall inlet. To vacuum you must disconnect the skimmer hose from the wall inlet and attach the vacuum to the inlet.

You hook it up to the same place where you would attach the hose for vacuuming the pool manually, and you put the lid into the skimmer basket so that the vacuum will have suction, just like you would if you were vacuuming manually. Hope that helps.

Sure Debra: both have caps and you can use this pool with the filter. It works pretty good!!!

If this is a serious questions.... it attaches to hose, then hose to the skimmer, skimmer to pump, pump to filter. Watch a YouTube video if you've not vacuumed a pool before.

I just have a standard telescoping metal pole that came with my above ground pool. The plastic arm on this vacuum head slides inside the pole and clicks into place with two plastic pop-out tabs. Works well.

You are correct. You don't have to empty the pool. Just attach fittings to the hoses that run to the filter. Make sure the water flow control valves are closed.

It works with a compressed air hose to operate. It comes with fittings to also attach a vacuum hose to collect the dust

Yes it is, just be sure it's on a level surface (I set mine on a couple of pavers next to the pool) and also that you have the proper amount and type of filter sand before hand. A warning: I don't believe the pump is strong enough to operate a pool vacuum.
