how does connecting it to a hose vacuum the pool??

You screw the water hose in one port, then a "drainage" hose on the other port. I just drain mine in the grass and work fast. Most small pumps can't handle it.

The water from the hose is redirected to exit through the catch net. The pressure of the moving water will move any dirt or other matter up and into the catch net. TO call it a vacuum is a misnomer, but that is basicly what it does. It will clean the bottom of the pool, and does it very well.

The water flowing out creates suction. Debris is collected in an external bag.

The water pressure forces thru the net and catches dirt and leaves. Works good.

The water pressure from the house is pushed through a small mesh bag. This creates a type of vacuum effect as the water is rushing into this bag. Any dirt I'd debris I'd then pushed along with the water but doesn't get through the mesh bag. Low cost. Low tech, but works fairly well.

The vacuum hoses come in shorter sections. This canister strainer can be put in the hose line from the vacuuming head and the pools suction fitting.I use mine on 3 different pools every week. It catches most of the debris and prolongs the filters useful time between servicing. And keeps the pump basket cleaner.

Sandra, no it doesn't and BTW , I would not recommend this product, the swivel joint on top of this vacuum attachment cracked after only 2-3 cleanings and the worst part, it is filled with sand and it spilled out all over the pool, I would recommend reading other reviews on this to see if others had the same issue .

not sure about what pools it works with, I have an unground and hooks to the vacuum or basket line, hoses included. Works well!

A pole, vacuum head with interchangeable heads, and hose comes with the pool. It worked great with my 15' round pool, great suction with my sand filter that was purchased separately and worth every penny. Between that and the saltwater generator my pool was sparkly clean. The trick to not losing suction is making sure vacuum head is under water when you attach the hose to the suction outlet to the filter. If you lose suction you have to get air out of hose before re-attaching hose to filter. Great purchase!

We have a suction style cleaner. It says to attach within some many feet away from the port in the wall of the pool. As the water is pulled through it turns a gear to Un twist the hose. It should work both ways.

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!

This hose has a contact ring around the end you put into the wall fitting. The contact ring makes contact with two pointers that start the vacuum

It comes with an attachment that connects to pump suction inside an Intex pool where you connect the vacuum hose. The attachment is not a great fit, but overall the kit works well.

I connect the swivel end of pool hose to the vacuum then connect the non-swivel end of the pool hose to the skimmer. It works good except it's not heavy enough to roll high up the pool sides without floating up.

It runs off of suction, where as most in ground pools use "return" pressure as the source for the cleaner...so my answer would be "no".

It's intended to be inserted between two sections of the hose connected to your existing pool cleaner/vac. It prevents little things sucked in by the cleaner/vac from getting to the filter and pump.

You detach it from the base and place your attachment tools on the end, use it, then place the hose back into the base. Easiest vacuum I have ever used.

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?

The pump runs on our pool while the cover is on. I'm not sure about a vacuum.

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.

Wal-mart sells a vacuum head and hose that have worked well for me. I just connect the hose to the filter inlet on the wall of the pool...I found that using a short extension tube from my shop vac adapts the hose to the inlet nicely. Be sure to purge the air out of the vacuum hose first by holding it over the filter outlet to fill the hose with water.
