Can it be used efficiently in front of a leaf cannister &amp; into skimmer (vs. side suction port)? Are there additional adapters or connectors required?

I'm pretty sure you can. I have the side suction, but I saw it on YouTube. That's what prompted me to buy it. They even show using it with a leaf canister. If you want more info or demo, look for The Twister for pool cleaners on YouTube. Hope this helps.

I have a Summer Escapes pool. I used this particular adapter in the skimmer to connect it to a Intex sand filter. Its a easy way to connect the hoses using Intex couplers to the Summer Excapes skimmer.

I find the skimmer works best with water level half way up at minimum. I am running 1hp Hayward Superpump which seems to need additional water.

That will depend on a couple of things. The hose didn't fit ours so we had to use the attachment that comes with the unit and attach it through the skimmer. This attachment also has a valve that controls the suction to adjust the unit for proper functioning. You will want to use the attachment for regulating suction. Over all I really like unit and find it easy to use.

it is short - no more than 2 feet. Skimmer needs to hang close to the pump intake. Hope that helps

Answer here...the pool skim has to be connected to a return line not a suction line.

It just sits on top of your skimmer basket. Attach it to the vacuum hose, fill the hose with water from the return inlet then slip it thru the skimmer opening

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.

Yes, if you do not have an APC they sell some adapters for the independent suction line (different than the skimmer the pool has) or ask for the adapter to connect on the skimmer basket.I hope that helps.

Now SkimmerMotion can be used directly connected to your pool Suction line.You need to buy an adapter, sold separatelly.Of course since it is connected to the wall, it will float freelly in the surface, but WILL NOT move around all the pool.This is a solution for many customers asking for it.

Sorry, I don't know but I would assume so. Mine is attached to the skimmer.

Absolutely. If you have an excessive amount of leaves I would suggest using a dip net to clear what you can otherwise you will have to clean out your skimmer rather quickly because it will fill 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

Hi Tracy, I had no problems with my adaptor. There is only one way that the adaptor will fit up into the bottom of the skimmer. There are 2 slots in the botton of the skimmer at 3:00 and 9:00, the plastic estensions on the side of the adaptor must slide into these slots. This should allow you to lock it into place. Good luck.

you just put it inline with the hose attached to your filter intake.. I use mine in line with a leaf canister that has a skimmer sock in it.. this catches fine dirt and debris so they don't go into my sand filter.. when you're done you just rinse the sock off..

I have never used a skimmer, but I would assume it would attach 2 the same outlet
