Should i leave the pool vacuum attached to the skimmer with the filter and pump on when adding this to the pool?

You definitely want your pump running to mix the shock throughout the pool, but I don't think it matters whether or not your vacuum is attached.

if there's alot of leaves get them out first And Noooo Add schock accordingly and run pump in filter mode for hours depending on how water looks But first check if PH is good before adding schock

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.

You have to manually turn it on. You are instructed to remove it from the pool after each cleaning. I don't see why you'd need to vacuum the pool every day anyway.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

Absolutely No! While they do make skimmers that would work in such manner, this is NOT one of those type. This skimmer only can bee hooked up to the ports where the water comes back into the pool. It attaches to one of the ports where the water is returning from the pump back into the pool. You simply screw off one of these caps and attach the skimmer instead. It's not a vacuum, but a skimmer. Vacuums suck (literally), while this creates a whirlpool type effect drawing debris from across the surface of your pool into the skimmer.

The sharkvac has to be taken out of the water after each use and the filters cleaned. Therefore it is not a vac that you leave in the pool.

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!

Yes you should keep it plugged in. The filter should run all the time. If not, the water can turn green. Also it's important to use chemicals to keep the pool clean. I have taken a sample of the pool water to a local pool store to have it tested as well.

Remove old or defective skimmer from the hose that comes from the filter through the pool side. Attach the new skimmer to the hose that is coming from your filter pump. The skimmer I rec'd is bigger but the hose attachment is the same. Works great. Dan

We bought a salt water pump for our pool because the filter pump was not shipped with pool. BUT I think you r talking about the filter pump. No u shouldn't have to dump it, but you will need to leave the filter pump hooked up to the salt water pump. Filter pump cleans the debris from water. Salt pump treats the water. My husband has allergy problems with chlorides so the salt pump works great. We didn't have to adjust or treat pool in the 2 months we used the pool.

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.

You have to have a skimmer pole and a vacuum hose. You hook up your vacuum hose to your skimmer and the other end to the vacuum head and vacuum away

I do not know. My daughter set up my filter. I can tell you that after one summer, the vacuum system is not working. Contact the pump dealer to ask your questions. That is what my daughter did. I'm not happy with the system right now.

Hook it to the skimmer. It's a good idea to prime the hose with water but if not it will get suction after a bit. Just takes longer. Close the suction to everything except your skimmer.

Plug the hose in to the skimmer outlet where the water goes out of your pool and goes to the filter

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.

No, this vacuum is attached to a hose attached to your pool filter. The filter provides the suction.
