I have a 22' Intex Ultra Frame. Was looking at this kit, but i dont have a skimmer. Can i screw the blue adapter onto the intake side of my pump?

I was able to attach it to my intex pool intake. I believe our pool was 16 feet

Yes, I do not have a skimmer either. It connects to the intake side! Works great!

Yes that's where it attaches. This one does not attach to the skimmer. This is a great vacuum

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.

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.

Yes. You need about four inches of clearance (the width/depth of the skimmer) behind the tank. Mine is the 150, but I think the only difference between the 100 and the 150 is the length of the tube, not the width/depth of the skimmer. I had to get a replacement because I fried the pump impeller, but both systems have worked well and have not leaked.

One is connected with 1 1/4 " pipe used in line with your pump. The other uses small tubing 3/8" (i think) to connect to your skimmer and return. The better way is larger pipe, but is a pain to do.

You will need threads on the return. I have an old lol with one skimmer and return also.

As I mentioned in my review, this was not an exact replacement for the Summer Escapes skimmer, filter, pump combination. The best thing would be to see if it is as least as big or bigger than your existing skimmer. As long as it's as big or bigger it's not a problem to trim the opening and punch new holes for the screws like I did.

I have a 18x4 Intex Ultra Frame. This pump worked great, kept the pool Krystal Clear. We used it all last summer and will be putting up our pool soon!

This comes with all the adapters for its use. This however will not fit the Ultra Frame Pools.

This comes with an adapter that I use for my vacuum. I love this skimmer. Works like a charm. Pro tip. Put it in front of a leg and tie it down.

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

That is the size pool I have, and I followed this link http://www.bluefade.com/intex-filter-pump-compatibility/ (which is a conversion chart for pool pumps) to see if it would work for mine. Get the model # from your current pump and check the conversion chart.

Yes, submerge the intake, make sure fittings are tight to the pump and away it goes.

if you have the larger fittings on the plunger valves you can, the hoses with the new pump hook right up. if you have a smaller intex pool, you have to order the adaptors to screw onto the plunger valves, or you can drain the pool below the inlet and outlet valves and replace them. if you have a 20' or 24' intex pool they should hook right up. this pump is amazing, ive had it about a month and a half now, no problems.

Yes. Been using an older model on my 24' round intex ultra frame for last 3 seasons. Works well and water never looked better. This one was a gift for my brothers 18' and it's worked just as well for him. Just remember to keep your water / chemicals balanced.

The hose from the Skimmer is smaller in diameter but they give you many different adapters that should be able to work with virtually any size hose or inlet.

If it is an intex you have to have an adaptor that screws onto the suction side to attach the hose from the skimmer to the suction hose that hooks to the filter pump.

It worked perfectly with my soft side intex pool, although mine is the metal frame style. I think the connections should be identical to mine so you should be good. They provide all kinds of adapters (I had to use nearly everything they provide to make it work). Good luck!
