the vacuum that worked for me is the "little shark". You will also need the little white cone that came with cleaner. not sure what its original purpose was. Here's where the improve comes in... Cut the bottom out of a 32oz V8 bottle to fit over the inlet of the cleaner intake...then cut the top of the bottle to accept white cone. sound lame but works perfect. NOTE: Intex help desk is useless.

I don't think you can. It attaches to the end of vac. I don't see how it can be attached to the skimmer but You should probably ask the provider.

In the picture you can see a circular disc with a 90 degree elbow. This attaches to your vacuum hose then you feed it though the skimmer door and the suction from the pump will pull the disc into place. I connected a rigid screw in PVC attachment with a rubber gasket all from lowes to my skimmer then back to the sand filter.

no, the skimmer has to screw on to the discharge pipe going back into the pool. the skimmer comes with a sack full of glue type fittings it's possible you might find something that would fit what ever you have for a discharge line.

There is a caddy you put the SharkVac in so you can wheel it from lets say the garage to the pool area. Plus the caddy keeps the vacuum off the ground while not in use. I would recommend to buy it with the caddy.

Hello, This is not a vacuum, but a skimmer for pool that doesn't already have a skimmer. Unlike a pool vacuum that is attached to the line that goes back to your pool pump (thereby using suction), this product actually attaches to your one of the spouts that returns water from the pump back into your pool. It works by pushing water thru the skimmer, which creates a vortex that draws the surface water thru the skimmer, thereby "skimming" leaves, bugs, etc., downward and into the ample sized net that that is attached below and to the side of the skimmer. It's a great product if your pool doesn't already have a skimmer basket, or if your like me and leave your automatic pool bottom cleaner in the pool at all times. Drew

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

As with you the one I got was too small. so I just left the pump that came with pool attached to skimmer and just ran hose from old pump to the basket filter going into the motor on the sand filter and it worked just fine. Until I can find a bigger adapter it works. FYI you do not need to plug in the pump attached to skimmer. Just the motor with the sand filter. Hope this helps

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.

It hooks into the suction hose. Cut suction hose about 2 ft from skimmer add device to short hose and then connect rest of hose

I think the "skimmer" they're talking about is the little basket filter that pulls floating debris from the top of the pool. Yes, that does come with it. Professional pool people think of something else when they think about a skimmer. The only thing this doesn't have that we miss is a really good "vacuum" for cleaning debris off the bottom of the pool, but we've been able to keep our pool clean using the mediocre one that's included.

I had a 15' intex pool. I didn't have a skimmer in the pool wall either. Yes, I unscrewed the intake cap (water going to the pump)and screwed on the adaptor and then attached the hose. But, I also had a 1 horsepower sand filter that really worked awesome, had great suction. I don't know how well this maintenance kit would work with the small filter pumps that come with the pool. I hope this helps. Good luck.

It is only the vacuum head. It needs to be connected to the skimmer return with a hose. The filter provides the suction. I suggest you go to your local pool store to see how this is done.

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.

Yes, 1- turn the pump off. 2- have your vac adapter parts already connected. 3- set it on top of the skimmer basket, make sure is feels right on it 4- before you turn the pump back on you need to connect the vacuum hose or vac cleaner you are going to use smaller end of the L shape adapter. 5 The round plate must sit on top of the skimmer basket nice and tight no air should be able to come in from the sides or borders since you are going to vacuum. 6- Turn the pump on. This will suck the round plate in place and suction begins.Hoe this helps

Should be no problem adding between pool skimmer and pump. May have to pickup PVC fittings (adapters and reducers, etc.)
