Does the cover get sucked into the corner of the tub where the filter is when the pump is on?

Not a problem as long as the water level is 10 inches or so above the intake!

I trimmed the one I purchased to fit my tub if I turn the Bowers on high with the air bubbles on max it starts to move the cover and water gets ontop. Then I just turn the blowers on low or only put one side on and it works fine. I was very impressed with the amount of moisture this keeps of my actual hot tub cover and the amount of heat it keeps inside.

Yes, it is not stiff at all as mentioned in another comment. In the normal filtering cycle in my hot tub, the jets turn on a few times a day and the blanket immediately gets pushed into the corner so it does no good. I bought it in part because a comment in this forum said it was stiff plastic and didn't move around. Unfortunately, I did not install it in time to return it for a refund or I would have done that.

it will suck it up, but when pulling the Vac out of the pool let it drain over the side as the filter does Not retain the algae, it will fall back into the pool.

I believe it would absorb the water on the pool cover just fine, but once it absorbs it it would still sit in place and become a problem to remove it and if it get into your pool accidentally i believe it could absor your pool as well and cause issues with your pump and filters, i would not use this around my pool if it was me

Yes, the filter is in the unit. Air escaping from the rear is proper. That is the air being vacuumed up in the front, catching the debris going thru the filter and passing out the back of the unit.

I am honestly not sure on the model of the filter I have. But I do know the "cover" comes off and that's where you usually stick the filter. Now- I should note- these particular filters seem to be "thicker" than the regular ones... and I actually had to tape the cover to the base so it would stay on. Other than that, it works great!

Well, not ALL over the filter. Just on the edges - it holds the filter to the plastic.

I would say no. Screen filter at bottom prevents objects from entering pump. This is only for use as a Sump Pump.

Yes, I changed the filter and tubing out and replaced it with a filter that sticks to the side.

Yes it does. In the middle of the end. There is a plastic insert that fits in the hole and attaches to the pump inlet.

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.

It has a water drain near one corner, but I never use it. I deflate the pool after three a days use and get the water out that way.

With the Intex over the side skimmer (not built into the wall) I had an issue with air getting in the system. Besides that it doesn't really get sucked up but it does definitely affect the ability of it to skim the top of the water because the cover is laying over the skimmer. Because of these two little issues I do not use the skimmer with any cover, not just this one. If you have a built into the wall skimmer there will be no issues.

I face the intake part out. I believe that way your not blocking the air from entering the filter.

the filter just sits in there. I have never had an issue of it coming out when pouring.

Take the cover off the intake side of the pump. That is where the water flows into the pump and then gets pushed out through the outlet connector.

It's threaded where it attaches to the filter and slip where it attaches to the pump.

It can go anywhere on the pressure side of the pump. Either as a flow through, or just dead ended. If you have a filter, put it before the filter.
