You attach the garden hose to the threaded fixture and the debris bag ties on to the other larger round opening. When you turn on the hose, it creates a vacuum that sucks debris into the bag.

you hook you hose up to it. when the water is running it provides suction into the bag where the debris collects. you tie the bag around the larger hole that the hose doesn't go into.

Vacuum gets hooked up to a garden hose to create pressure and suction. Bag is removeable. Much easier than trying to fuss with the filter/pump and a vacuum.

Yes it does! I have an Intex AGP about 24' by 52" deep, its round. I have an intex sand filter and put on a Haywood thru sidewall skimmer. Bought them all from Amazon at different times. I just got the Kreepy Crawler last Friday and by Sat morning it picked up everything that I couldn't with the standard Intex pool vac. I will tell you without a doubt you need a strong sandfilter to get the job done. That thing was my saving grace this season. Look on troublefreepools.com for all the info you need for keeping your pool clean, I did and man what a great site. I would be glad to send you some pics of my setup so you can see what works for me, I will also send you some before and afters of the sand filter magic. Shoot me an email at jon.schall@gmail.com Happy to help.

I'm not sure how the bag attaches to your blower/vac. I have a 51599 and it was an exact match. THE KEY IS THAT YOU KEEP THE BLACK PLASTIC COLLAR AT THE TOP OF YOUR CURRENT BAG BECAUSE IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE REPLACEMENT!! It only has a zip tie that fastens around the black collar. Best of luck!

PoolStyle PS454 Fine Mesh Leaf Eater Bag.. i put that one on top of the regular mesh bag included with the vacuum.. you'll still lose some dirt but it's not as much..keeping the other mesh bag beneath prevents the water jet from pushing the dirt out of the outer bag as much.

You have to have a vacuum that has a hose you can put into the fitting on the bag. The fitting size is universal to all the vacuums on the market today. I don't know if you read my review....but these bags work great for the first couple of weeks and then they loose their integrity and the shrink disappeared in everyone of my bags in under two months. I wish you better luck if you get these bags. Linda

Right below where the hose goes into the unit there is a clasp which opens up the vacuum. that is where the bag belongs.

Hi. You use the larger black attachment in the kit that has a large opening and a small opening. You fit the larger opening to the hose of you vacuum cleaner, attach the small hose to the smaller opening then attach whichever attachment you will need to that. Hope I answered this correctly for you.

You have the right bag. o the problem may be with your vacuum. We have never had this problem with these bags. Once we did receive another type and they did not work at all. Returned them and purchased these HEPA bags and they have been ok. The vacuum shutting down means that it senses the vacuum bag is full. You could try and open one bag to make sure it will inflate. If it does not shut down then you have map-formed bags that need to be replaced or inflate each bag before inserting. Try this first before you take the vacuum to be serviced. good luck David

you can find your manual here and look up the bag it takeshttp://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Panasonic-Parts/Vacuum-Parts/Model-MC5155/0789/0645000

I didn't have a debris bag with mine. I had a leaf basket in the skimmer and when I vacuumed, I used the fine mesh net insert. If you are talking about that insert, I'm sure you can get it off the intex site or substitute with a cut pantyhose. I have the bigger model pool now and bought the Leaf Bag that attaches to garden hose off Amazon. It picks up the bigger debris, but fine stuff will go through it.

The bags have a Ziploc type top. You then vacuum out the air. It works great for me, but I have had one bag that would not vacuum seal. Probably a tiny hole in it some where. Figured it was a factory defect which will happen.

we upgraded to the intex sand filter you would have to look it up but we have no issues with the vacuum it works great and we get good suction using the sand filter. Hope this answers the question for you!

This machine is a suction-type vac sealer so requires a bag / roll with a pattern (like VacMaster) or embossment (like Foodsaver). Smooth bags will collapse not letting the air to be sucked out. Altho some ppl will tell you to put a wrinkle or a banding strip down the middle, I find this not worth the time. Stick with the suction bags / rolls and all will be good! (speaking of experience)

Don't know, but it's heavy. Once you have to grab the handle, I find that I have to roll the wheels over the edge of the pool. That might mar your liner. Do you have tiles above your liner and/or edging that protrudes over edge of pool, that might keep the vac away from the liner. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

We had to use a hose reducer for the pool connection. But I think this is more a connector problem than the hose size. My previous pool's inline connection accommodated the hose size. I think the inline on this pool might be smaller because no hose fits it. Sorry I couldnt be more help but its a great vacuum.

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

Nicole, I also have an 18x48 aluminum frame pool. I purchased this set up 2 years ago; it's perfect! No other filters are needed. This thing works like a dream. Once you get the salt balance right (easy add 3 40lb bags) you won't have to do anything else but vacuum all season!
