From my understanding it has to be hooked up to your out going water which would be the skimmer but send it back mine is in the trash it does not go on sides of the walls it goes around your pool but only makes noise does not pick up I should have sent it back the best way to clean a pool is with the manual cleaning with poke and brush but if u don't have a skimmer u can't suck up the dirt

An instruction manual came with the unit. I plugged my unit directly into the vacuum line, which is where my old vacuum was plugged into. I had to adjust the valves from the setting of my old unit, but it was only a small adjustment.

There are several websites, just Google the name, I found the YouTube video most helpfull as it walks you through each step. I found the directions which were included very confussing.,

Not really clear on your setup. My vacuum is hooked up to outgoing suction in side of pool under water. I have a section of hose with male end, female end is hooked on to a leaf catcher, then the rest of hose until finally, the vacuum. I COULD go through skimmer if I wanted. As for climbing walls or not, this is adjustable using less or more weight rings or the placement of them. Closer to vac = less climbing, farther from vac = more wall climb. That's how it works on mine anyway.

I have used mine in the skimmer, and in a separate vacuum suction port... it seems like you should be able to just "stick it in" - I am not really sure about the question, sorry to be no help! But, if you do get it working, you will LOVE it! and ours DOES climb walls and cleans great, for that matter!

I think it did, but I can't find the paperwork. Its probably buried in the pool supply box. Moot point. The unit worked right as installed and has never given me any problems.If you are going to install the unit yourself here is some advise:1. Use the new wire harness that comes supplied with the unit.2. The trick to a proper operation is EXACTLTY programing all the options same as the original. That means FIRST opening each screen and jotting down the settings on EVERY option. This takes as long as changing out the board. Once all settings are recorded, change the board. Finally, take your time programming the new assembly. I think it did, but I can't find the paperwork. Its probably buried in the pool supply box. Moot point.

Your hose might be faulty, go to your local warehouse store and buy a pool vacuum hose...that's what I did (after 4 months though not 2 weeks) and it seems to work great!

Kristy, Hi. Make sure that your filter is clean and that the hose is not taking in air. With the pump on put the hose to the outlet jet on the side of the pool to push the air and water through the hose making sure both ends remain under water, when all air is released, then have your husband or friend shuts down the pump, attach to wanda and the other end to skimmer without letting in air. You can also purchase a air flow for your filter if that doesn't work but this works great for us. She even goes up our walls and cleans. Hope this helps.

Rebecca: Here is the basic set-up. The manual is a 16-page detailed with picture and diagrams to help you install the system easily. Attached is just the main pages of the install. Hope it helps. * Open the trunk and remove the right hand-side tail light assembly by turning the clips (same as if you are changing the light bulbs). * Remove the carpet that covers the right-hand side area to gain access the battery compartment and the vacuum pump located inside the rear fender. * The pump is encased in a foam mold. Remove the pump from the foam mold by sliding the foam enclosure rear-wards until it is free. Open the enclosure and slide away from the pump. * Unplug the rectangular plug from the pump by sliding the clip to the side and pulling on the plug upwards. Pictures (included) * Use a utility knife and carefully cut the black sleeve on the wiring harness to expose the wires. KEYLESS WIRING INSIDE THE TRUNK: &#61656; Black Wire: Connect this wire to Ground (Vehicle Frame Directly). &#61656; Red Wire: Connect this wire to the +12V Constant or Red/Green wire @ the Rectangular plug. &#61656; Cut the Green wire from the Rectangular plug in half (make sure to leave enough room to make a connection). &#61656; Connect the White wire from the keyless harness to the Green wire side closer to the vacuum pump, using the supplied Butt connector. &#61656; Connect the White/Black wire from the keyless harness to the Green wire side away from the vacuum pump, using the supplied Butt connector. &#61656; Find a location to mount the keyless module. The keyless module is to be mounted using wire ties. &#61656; Stretch the black antenna wire from the keyless module as straight as possible for better remote distance range. It can be held straight using a wire tie.

It is only the vacuum head. It needs to be connected to the skimmer return with a hose. The filter provides the suction. I suggest you go to your local pool store to see how this is done.

I bought a leaf trap and add a pvc pipe that go up and over below the waterline and the attached a vacuum hose to it and is works great. Before I did that and just put the hose into the return. It would clog and was a real pain in ass

My pool only has a single skimmer with one return. Mine did have the eyeball thing though. In my case I simply unscrewed the eyeball and then screwed the Poolskim onto the threads from where the eyeball used to be. I'm pretty sure that you need threads to connect it to. If you don't you could probably visit a home improvement store and pick up some threaded coupling to make it work.

The tool is not a vacuum itself. You attach the suction hose from the pool pump/filtering system to the top of the tool and that provides the suctioning power. I have found that this picks up everything that can fit through the hose and will get all loose dirt up. Just keep in mind that whatever is sucked up goes into the pool filtration system, so if the pool is really dirty you may have to clean the filtering system later.

You need a vacuum hose attached to either the skimmer intake or if your pump/filter assembly have an intake valve, then the other end you att ach itto the Poolmaster so that you can vacuum the bottom of the pool guided with a pole.

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?

There is a caddy you put the SharkVac in so you can wheel it from lets say the garage to the pool area. Plus the caddy keeps the vacuum off the ground while not in use. I would recommend to buy it with the caddy.

Instruction sheet was in the box. The installation is very simple. There is the rubber unit that goes inside the pool against the pool wall.

You will need a pole to attach to this device. Most are telescoping types. Pole allows you to push/pull vacuum head. Then you need a vac hose which runs from head back to pool intake. Finally, you will need an adapter which is isually a round plate sized to fit larger intake opening, and has a vac hose connection. Might be some good youtube videos showing all this.

Hey JENNIFER, this is what I did: With the pool filled to the proper level that we like I had my wife hold the outside piece in place then I went into the pool sith the inside piece and put it into place and pushed a screw through and tightened it loosely then pushed the other through and started them all loosely and after all started then tightened then. So now at this point you have inner and outer part screwed together ( but no hole in the pool other than the screw holes that you make using the screws and your hand pressure). Now you can close the valve on the skimmer and use a razor blade to cut out the opening!!! Hope that helps you a little. I was skeptical when my wife brought this skimmer home, but I must say it does an awesome job and work PERFECT!!!

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.
