I have the intex 12'x24' rectangular ultraframe and if your inlet is like mine there should be threads on the strainer. There will be an outside lip, male threads (the adapter screws on here) and then the intake strainer in the middle. The strainer isn't meant to come off.

are you talking about the round strainer that you screw on where the pump sucks water into the filer ?? respond to davidwineriter@gmail.com

Hi I'm not sure what's the problem but do you have enough hose to it? I have Diver Dan an he works fantanstic. Are you using this in an above ground pool or in ground? I have a 24x 52 above ground? Have you checked to see if it has any sticks or leaves inside of the whale? Let me know also if you have your hoses wound in circles might be the problem they are suppose to be memory hoses an not to be wound up? Hope this helps.

As Jonathan stated your tube could be broken allowing sand to get into the tube, which goes into your pool. Check to make sure you have the sand level at the correct height. Go to a local pool supply store, they might have the tube in stock there to save on the shipping, but if it brand new you might be able to get Intex to send you one free of charge since they come with a 2 year warranty from them. While you are at the pool supply store make sure you get the correct sand, you should put at least 100 lbs of sand in it.

I have a 12'x30" above ground Intex pool. It works great, HOWEVER, you must order the adapter from the Circulator website if you have this type of pool. I STRONGLY recommend contacting Wes through the Circulator website BEFORE purchasing any adapters as there are a couple of different ones. Explain to him what your filter parts look like (white/beige, white/blue, etc) and he will get you the exact part you need. Otherwise, works great!

I had the same problem, the bottom of the filter where the drain is , not tight enough, I had a hard time to tight it self the glass part and also the water drain screw, make sure you do not over tight, could break easy, at least that was the trouble with mine, hopefully that is with yours, I will not buy this type of filter again

I am having the same problem. I used the shaker five times and the strainer seemed like it was built in to the top piece. However, the strainer piece came off during my sixth use and it appears, after trying several times, that it is unable to fit back on. My shaker is now useless.

I have the 18 foot Intex ultra frame pool. the skimmer would not attach to the frame the c-clamp was to small and the adaptor for the inflatable ring was to big. I ended up buying the adaptor set for the inlet also. It can be done but I had to make my own adaptor for the skimmer when I built a deck around the pool.

we had to adjust ours as well...make sure the stream area is clean...nothing blocking it, good luck!

The best advice I can offer is to check the capacity of your pool (gallons) and don't oversize it. Our pool is approximately 6k and it does a fantastic job. If you oversize it (especially for a round pool) you could create a whirlpool effect and the floating debris will be moving too fast and not be sucked into the strainer.

Did you take off the aerator (piece at the end of the faucet that screws off)? If you do that and it still doesn't fit, try the adapters that came in the box.

Check your weight placements. Your hose is either too light and floating up and flipping over or too heavy and sinking and rolling over. My pool is 6 feet at the deepest part and I fixed this issue by actually removing the weight in the front. I still have one in the middle. To keep the unit lower and off the wall I re added the weight to the very end of the hose where the hose plugs in to the cleaner. This solved my issue of flipping over. I think if your pool is not very deep you do not need so much weight on your hose. 1. Hose too light. If the hose rises toward the surface at an angle greater than 45 , move the weights closer to Kreepy Krauly, or move the first two weights closer to each other. 2. Hose too heavy. If the hose sags downward at an angle less than 45, move the weights away from Kreepy Krauly, or separate the first two weights farther from each other.

Unscrew the strainer from the faucet and take it and the adapter that come with the filter to the hardware store and tell what you are trying to do. Also note what brand of faucet you have. They should have an adapter.

The simple solution is to use vasoline on the filter cover threads, that will allow a tighter fit and make removal easier. We do the same thing on our pool pump leaf trap and pool filter. The leaking stops once the housing is tightened. This is an excellent product. Like any product, learn how to use it. And it goes without saying that you must have the gasket in the proper position.

I would just try to tighten the pump hose clamp that could have came lose. Also when you put your hand inside the skimmer where the connection is there and tighten that little white ring. With all the water it can untighten I am sure.

I am right-handed, so I hold the left side of the strainer with my left hand on the rim.... then take a butter knife and place it under the lip of the strainer and pry gently up using the rim of the plastic tub as a see-saw...it is snug and just needs a little help because there is a rubber seal on the strainer seat.
