I don't have a skimmer in my intex. Outflow direct to pump. How can I use this vacuum?

I have a vacuum line and that's what I attach it to. I don't use the skimmer for the vacuum.

I'm not sure, but I will say that it's fantastic at keeping the pool clean and clear ...FANTASTIC!!!!!!...if I were you I would ask the manufacturer, after all they have all the knowledge of "how to do" techniques.

You should be able to hook it up to your filter. You may have to get creative with fittings and decide if you want to hard pipe your filter to the skimmer or use hoses. The tricky part will be cutting an opening in the side of your pool. It is very important that you make sure the skimmer is level. I hope this helps you. Good luck

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.

Skimmers come with pump (black housing on bottom). When pump burns out (mine lasted 2 years) you can add a pump downline and still use the skimmer. I am doing this now. I have a 18' x48" salt pool and found that anything less than 2500 gph is too small.

I'm not sure, I just plug it into the return fitting where the skimmer basket is located. You need to keep the debris basket emptied next to your pump however.

I don't think it would work to have pump in the skimmer? I installed my skimmer at the edge of the pond at water level. My pump is not an underwater pump. I have it set up just like a swimming pool and it works awesome!!

I don't think you can. It attaches to the end of vac. I don't see how it can be attached to the skimmer but You should probably ask the provider.

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

Yes, 1- turn the pump off. 2- have your vac adapter parts already connected. 3- set it on top of the skimmer basket, make sure is feels right on it 4- before you turn the pump back on you need to connect the vacuum hose or vac cleaner you are going to use smaller end of the L shape adapter. 5 The round plate must sit on top of the skimmer basket nice and tight no air should be able to come in from the sides or borders since you are going to vacuum. 6- Turn the pump on. This will suck the round plate in place and suction begins.Hoe this helps

Place hose on wanda and the other end to the intake at the skimmer and turn pump on

You do not need a simmer with this kit. There is a simmer bag that is used to catch debris that is apart of the vacuum. You should be able to screw it into the intake that your pump is attached to. I wouldn't recommend hooking the hose up to your pump. The hose is smaller as far as circumference. However, there is an attachment that will screw into the intake for your pool. This will and should fit the intake on the inside of your pool.

Remove the paper filter cartridge and the micron sock from the junk pump that came with your pool. Hook it up to the skimmer and hook up a waste hose to it and use it as a vacuum. Works great and you don't have to use your combo that your gonna buy.

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.

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.

You hook it up to the side of the pool. The skimmer basket is not powerful enough to run it and you might ruin the basket.I have an above ground pool and I found that this cleaner would not work for me as it climbs right out of the pool. When it does this it breaks suction of course and can ruin your pool filter.Hope this helps.Judy

Yes. It comes with different connections And that one should be included. Escapes and intex pools are in essences the same. I empy the catch bag under water by taking vac end off pulling bag out and emtying alway keeping vac head under waterHope it helps. Good luckTip. Make a whirl pool all dirt will settle in middle and vac away

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.
