You don't need no other equipment,and yes only the skimmer line is to be used.

Mine came with all of the fittings necessary to plug it into the skimmer (although I'm not using them as my pool has a dedicated vacuum port). If you plug this one into the skimmer then, yes, the skimmer line is dedicated to the vacuum because you have to take the skimmer basket out and plug the vacuum directly into the pipe. I don't know what the pressure-side fittings look like but you shouldn't need them anyway - as long as you don't try to hook this vacuum onto a pressure port - it definitely wouldn't work as it needs suction.

I have a dedicated suction line for my G3. However, Zodiac advertises that it will hook up to a skimmer. Check http://www.zodiacpoolsystems.com/Products/Cleaners/Suction/Zodiac-G3.aspx for Zodiac's brochure and description details.

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.

You use one short section of hose close at the bottom of the leaf trap. That connects to the pool suction either in-wall or in the strainer - wherever you have your cleaner hooked up now. The other side connects with the rest of the hose to the cleaner. (Mine came with a separate adaptor for that side so the hose would connect.) You don't want the leaf trap connected too close to the cleaner or it will affect operation. Good luck!

If you are able to find the hoses, they will cost you a fortune! We felt deceived with this purchase because it shows the hoses in the picture, so we assumed we were purchasing the entire package. We returned the Ray Vac and purchased the Polaris P94 from Leslie's pool supply. I highly recommend the Polaris.

I use the hose from my pool vac. One end is pushed onto the blower and the other goes into the skimmer line. Works great!

I'm assuming you can. You will need two hoses to do this. The unit is designed for pool cleaners that the hoses that have a larger end on one end and a smaller one on the other. And you also need a small hose between the Hayward Pool vac Navigator and your skimmer. You would just have to work this out.

This hose is a vacuum hose that fits into the filter/pump skimmer. Not designed to hook directly to filter pump. There are separate hoses for that.

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.

Is it new? Is the line length sufficient? Is the tail line attached? The system seems to work on a pump that causes vacuum. This pump also propels it forward. There's a feature that causes it adjust positioning occasionally, so that it will reach the entire pool. What's it not doing properly?

I'm not sure it comes with the vacuum, but I can connect mine to the hose on my vacuum cleaner. There are fittings that let you use any vacuum that has a hose. My upright Hoover has a hose on the side and I can use that. You should probably turn off the beater bar on the vacuum, though.

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 do not need a simmer with this kit. There is a simmer bag that is used to catch debris that is apart of the vacuum. You should be able to screw it into the intake that your pump is attached to. I wouldn't recommend hooking the hose up to your pump. The hose is smaller as far as circumference. However, there is an attachment that will screw into the intake for your pool. This will and should fit the intake on the inside of your pool.

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.

Use a pool hose that will attach to this vacuum head & to a part that will go into the skimmer
