How does a pole attach to the skimmer? Is the end threaded?

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.

No. The end of the skimmer slips inside the pole and is held in place by two buttons that fit two holes in the pole.

It has a retainer plastic pin at the end. There are 2 nubs that will stick out from the pin and these 2 nubs will slot into the 2 small holes at the end of your pole.

The two preceding answers are correct. There is nothing I can add that would add help in deciding whether to purchase or not, other than I'm satisfied with my purchase based on "you get what you pay for"

Answer below is correct. I've found every tool I've purchased attaches the same way to the pole. Use one and you know how they all work.

The skimmer has brackets that will attatch to the ultra fram as well as the inflatable top pools. Does a very good job. I would do it again. We've had ours running since June 2013.

This fits over the basket in the skimmer with the angled connection facing the opening of the skimmer towards the pool. I find it easiest to turn the pump off when removing it due to the amount of suction. There are two slots in the angled fitting that correspond with small tabs on the round adapter. Fit it together before attaching just so you see how it should fit together when in use.

I have the Unger Ed550 pole. The threaded part pops off so that you can attach the flood sucker to the pole underneath.

The skimmer came with a few adapters that screw onto the water intake. Where the hose screws onto the pool to suck water into the pump. The adapter will screw onto the inside of the pool on the hose connector. And there is a hose that goes from the adaptor to the skimmer. It was very simple and the skimmer works very well. I hope this helps you some. It's kinda hard to explain.

We use a leaf canister that connects to our skimmer in the pool wall. It fits into our canister. It has adapters as well

Hi, The end of your pole must play the female role like electrical outlet etc. You push in the Algae brush inside your pole. I have two poles both are open ended. You either should come up with an adapter which could be PVC your own creativity or an open end pole with two small holes. Your pole must be an open end one or it won't work. Regards.

Yes. That is where I attach Mine, I just have one section of hose that goes from the skimmer to the twister, and then the rest of the hose to a Kreepy Krawler. I recommend ruuning the hose through the top instead of through the skimmer door as it will kink the hose otherwise.

Hi,My feeder does not have a threaded spot for a pole. That said it does have a space that runs up the middle inside the feeder that could allow the metal pipe to hold the feeder in place on a pole.

This comes with an adapter that I use for my vacuum. I love this skimmer. Works like a charm. Pro tip. Put it in front of a leg and tie it down.

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.

how do you make this work on a pool with poles that go through the liner holding it up?

No. This must be attached to the return line. I used mine one season, didn't work all that well. Would not buy unless you did not have a skimmer at all.

The adapter you will need is $50 (slightly more with shipping I imagine) - thanks to Floridasmile for providing that link with the info...I would have probably bought this without knowing that otherwise, and would have been disappointed to have to pay 50% of skimmer cost on top, just for an adapter. OTOH I bought a floating fountain that attaches to one of my returns (also not threaded, just plaster), and was able to get that to work somehow (and they had multiple adapters included with fountain, all of which assumed a threaded return). Maybe I could do the same with this.

I don't know what you have for a skimmer but the pump outlet will accept either male or female threaded 1.5" PVC Schedule 40. You will need to provide the piping from the pump to your skimmer.

I have never used a skimmer, but I would assume it would attach 2 the same outlet

The pole is two pieces with a plastic connector that loosens and tightens to adjust the total length of the pole. I've had it now going into my second or third season and it has held up fine.
