We had one like this when we originally bought our house with the pool. My husband found it easy to repair over the years and we bought another when the time finally came for a replacement.

I agree with Carol. This is the only vacuum I've used over 30ish years. I've had to replace it once or twice. I run mine year round. The flaps wear out but are cheap and easily replaced, but don't need replacing very often. Will only use this type of vac. Great for the price and far better than the pricey ones.

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

I found this model on their website http://www.maytronicsus.com/ResidentialPoolCleaners/DolphinExclusiveLines/AdvantagePlusRC.aspx This site has the exact model. Bess pool cleaner I have had to date.

Don't waste time and money with the Muck Vac. The best solution I have found is using an Intex filter pump model 637R with the intake hose connected to a triangular pool brush and using an aluminum pole to push the brush around. I've debated about getting an inline filter to capture leaves and large debris so that I don't have to clean the cartridge filter as often. I used this system for 2 years and it works great. Hope this helps.

This vacuum is made for in ground plaster or fiberglass pools but you could use it on a vinyl pool,just be very careful not to tear your liner.I run a pool service in Florida and use this vac head several times a day,works very well for me.

I would use the entire box. Vacuuming the pool is important, but NOT with the filter vacuum that comes with most of the smaller above ground pools. I use a reverse suction method with my garden hose and some adapted shop vac attachments. You can add fresh water after you get all the algae removed to return the pool to the depth it is designed to be. One tip for that last little bit is to take a wide push broom and use it to scrub the interior pool sides and bottom. Then push the broom around in the pool quickly for about 15 laps. Stop and watch the last bits go to the center where you can vacuum them out. Follow up with some algaecide. I would use the entire box.

It's totally up to you. If you don't like spending time with a net hand cleaning, the skimmer does the surface cleaning and it picks up tiny gnats and pollen better then a net. I found I needed two different size hoses because, even though the adapters are the same size and fit the pool outtake port, the vacuum and skimmer hose connections to the adapters are different sizes.

If you use the smaller attachment you can simply hook up to intake with vacuum hose and suck out the algae. I have a sand filter pump, and it works great. Do not know about the standard filters that come with the above ground intex pools.

I'm not sure what my old number was but the difference between the oder model and the newer model is that it allows you to cool down your pool with night mode where it will circulate the water at night if your pool is too hot... There aren't too many models out there.. This will probably work fine.

I am sorry to say that I can not answer your question as I returned the H20 Vac because it didn't work very well & I was not satisfied. If you want a really good H20 Vacuum look into Rainbow Vacuum, but they are pretty expensive but well worth it.

I can't tell you what the differences are as I am not acquainted with those models. However I love the one I have. It has plenty of power and is very user friendly. Switches easily for different cleaning needs. I have no regrets with this vacuum.

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".

By Intex they are meaning the BRAND Intex Pool Corp. That is also the above ground pool I have. I am going to go ahead and order the universal adaptor when I order the Vac-Sweep. If the one I order works I will update the Q & A.

The Intex is a fairly decent pool vac, but it will only pick up loose dirt and debris, like any pool vac will. Get your chemical balance right and use a hard pool brush (no metal!) to loosen up the algae, then use the pool vac to clean it up. I did learn that the standard 1500 GPH pump does not have enough output power to make this pool vac move. You'll need the 2500 GPH pump (which runs about $85 here on Amazon) and a clean filter to make it run good. You'll also find that the 2500 GPH pump does a lot better job at filtering your pool water.

Absolutely no difference. Check out the little giant pump website. The spec sheet for each of these models links to the same exact pdf - a generic pdf for the VCMA-20 series. If you look at the chart for each model, all specs and performance are the same.http://www.franklin-electric.com/media/documents/995125.pdf

All the tubing and connections to the pool wall come with the 280 Black Max. The tubing is longer than my old Polaris, which is fine. The entire pool floor and walls get vacuumed. All you need to do is plug into your wall connection, turn on the pump and watch 'er go.
