Most skimmers require a filter pump with a mininum flow rate of 800 gph, this one dosn't specify, will it work with my 530 gph fillter pump?

I can't say for sure, but the design is an interior floating insert that the suction drags it to the surface of the water. I would imagine that it would work. Mine is on a large filterr and works great. I would recommend as an inexpensive option

As long as the pump has enough power to circulate the top of the pool water it will work fine. This is strictly a skimmer so it must have some form of top water movement. The blue part of the skimmer floats on the top of the water. When the pump is turned on it drops into the water just a smidge which is how the water is skimmed.Hope this helps

I believe so what size is your pool? I think my filter is also 530 gph. I think this skimmer works really well. Helped my pool erroneously.

I have a 380 gal pond and use the 1000 fishmates filter and a 1000 gph pump. The pump is a bit overkill but the filter is fine. You should have no problem with the combo you are asking about. I would not go bigger than the 800gph pump though.

I was going to up grade to a 2hp and the shop said no way! So I stayed with a 1hp pump. I have about the same size pool! Running a waterfall and skimmer 1.5" PVC wide open and does a perfect job. Did your old pump do the job? You would probably be ok, but remember more pressure gives the chance for ur canister to fail! Catch 22! Hope that helps.

it depends on your intake.. if it's just a skimmer intake then you'll need adjustments..

I am using a 5000 gpm pump and the system works very well. Hope this helps.

Yes. The only problem I found with this pump is the Jandy software. The speed settings can only be adjusted higher than what you have the filter mode set at. The first page of the speed settings allows you to set the minimum and maximum speed. Mine is set for 600 to 3400. The next page lets you set the speed for the various modes the pump will be used for. I use it for the filter pump, spa, solar and freeze protection. I need the run the pump at 2650 to operate my pressure operated pool cleaner in filter mode. I want to run the freeze protection at 600 just to move the water through the system, but it will only run at 2650 or higher. Talked with Jandy and that is the way it is. No Help.

I was very unhappy with this skimmer because of the design, mine leaked. I would puchase another brand. I have different pump/ filter on mine, not familiar with the standard one you have. You may want to chk out site called troublefreepool.com for lots of ideas

I had a 15' intex pool. I didn't have a skimmer in the pool wall either. Yes, I unscrewed the intake cap (water going to the pump)and screwed on the adaptor and then attached the hose. But, I also had a 1 horsepower sand filter that really worked awesome, had great suction. I don't know how well this maintenance kit would work with the small filter pumps that come with the pool. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Cant see your pump ,need part number or pic.are you trying to put it on the skimmer, i would think 3500 is to mutch

I would think it will. The adaptor just basically allows you to attach a normal pool hose for a pool pump setup to the skimmer. Works fine with my large cartidge filter and pump that I got to replace the cheap one that comes with the pool.

Yes, this will work with most canister filters and I have not noticed any difference in flow rate. I have mine on and Marineland C220 canister filter.

That should work fine. Mine is in 7.5" and it works great. Nice little skimmer and takes very little room.

No, you won't need a skimmer as long as you don't have life corrals and plants. I'm having this filter with 55 G and it still works great so far since about a year and half

Maybe. The pump matters more. At 15,000 gals you probably have a good pump. Your pump has to be rated at between 1500-4000 GPH in order to use this chlorinator. I bought this system to work with my above ground Intex pool and 2650 GPH Intex sand filter pump so connecting it was a breeze. Adapting this unit to an in ground pool may be difficult, I haven't tried it.

Yes a 1 hp pump is fine. The filter comes with a flow restrictor disc so if your pump exceeds the recommended gpm the disc compensates for that. It's explained in the owners manual.

It was specifically designed to work with a pool vac and the Skimmer skims the surface. Despite being listed as unsupported I have had success with my Barracuda G3. Although it took an adapter that i rigged up from supplies at local pool supply store. You could try shooting a message to the seller. They've been very responsive to any questions or problems. The best thing I did was to trim the trees around the pool which was providing my need for the SkimmerMotion.

I wouldn't think so. The filter will not be your problem, it's figuring out a way to keep pumps from burning up. I finally bought an above ground pump from grainger (1/2 horse, it comes with a check valve), and a hair and lint pot for an above ground pool. Next I bought a lilly pad skimmer for older swim pools. Took out the float ( it was catching on lip and running pump dry)and found a skimmer basket that fit perfectly. Connected the pump to the hair and lint pot with mission clamps... just in case empeller gets debris in it.
