Can this be used with vacuum suction cups? Just hook up the hose to a suction cup and I'm good to go?

this pump makes a decent amount of vacuum, rather quickly, but it does take time to get to 30hg,maybe consider a surge tank incorporated with the pump for lengthen deep vacuum time.

I would imagine that would work fine. It produces about 30 in of vacuum, for your reference.

Yes you can...you just have to prime the pump...you will need a back flow valve at the end of the suction hose which is sold separately by various companies

A shop vac nozzle is possibly too large, and there might be too strong of a suction for it to be effective. I can't say for sure, as I only use my regular vacuum on mine.

If your hose is 1 & 1/4 inch smooth wand/hose (standard vacuum hose) then it will fit. I use mine on a Eureka hose/wand which has a button...it fits fine.

No, we would not recommend using this unit to suction water as it would damage the vacuum. Check out one of our carpet deep cleaners for use with water extraction like the BISSELL DeepClean Essential Full Sized Carpet Cleaner, 8852

In order to use the hose for attachments, you must push a button to "unlock" it from the base of the vacuum. I found this to be a pain. Personally, I like a hose that I can just lift out and use without any extra steps.

As mentioned, using the hose and attachments work fine. However, moving a canister vacuum around bare floors is much easier and nothing gets blown around. If you have mostly bare floors you want a canister, if you have most carpet, you need an upright. In a pinch though this upright can be used for bare floors.

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.

Yes. You can just squeeze the air out. I thought the vacuum hose had to fit. So I just opened the little opening that it has and sat on it.

I don't believe so, they have a specially designed valve thing for the vacuuming. U just press on the lid and it goes out the mechanism. I don't think this would work with an other devices. The valve thing has a 'skin' over it to lock air from coming back in, I don't see how you could bypass that.

yes, but note the vac line is 3/8" flare and not 1/2 or 1/4 acme, you will need adapter or switch vac fitting and hose to something smaller.

I think you would be better off to put a suction diverter in your hose. Check out a Sears canister vac - they all have them on the handle.

I hook it up to my VacMaster Vacuum sealer but I think you can also use these with Foodsavers Vacuum machines.

not sure about what pools it works with, I have an unground and hooks to the vacuum or basket line, hoses included. Works well!

Yes you can. The suction is not affected by a longer hose, the longer hose will let you route the run off further away from the pumped area.

I would like to tell you yes, but I can't. If your vacuum has a 1 inch diameter port, it should work fine.

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.
