Where are the instructions for the vacuum line installation? The manual says it includes instructions for optional vacuum line installation, but the instructions are not there. How do I install to a vacuum line? Does it work on a pool without a skimmer...

From my understanding it has to be hooked up to your out going water which would be the skimmer but send it back mine is in the trash it does not go on sides of the walls it goes around your pool but only makes noise does not pick up I should have sent it back the best way to clean a pool is with the manual cleaning with poke and brush but if u don't have a skimmer u can't suck up the dirt

Is it new? Is the line length sufficient? Is the tail line attached? The system seems to work on a pump that causes vacuum. This pump also propels it forward. There's a feature that causes it adjust positioning occasionally, so that it will reach the entire pool. What's it not doing properly?

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.

it will depend on what type of vacuum set up your pool has? My pool is a doughboy, the lid of the skimmer is taken off and placed inside my skimmer when I vacuum, the connection for my vacuum hose is on the inside of the pool at the bottom of the skimmer, I had to buy an adapter for this set up. The other vacuum set up is most common, the round piece that has the vacuum connection on the top, this style is placed in the skimmer as well but the hose is not connected inside the pool. My neighbor had this set up and the swim time vacuum hose fit perfectly on it. Hope this helps

Remove old or defective skimmer from the hose that comes from the filter through the pool side. Attach the new skimmer to the hose that is coming from your filter pump. The skimmer I rec'd is bigger but the hose attachment is the same. Works great. Dan

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

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.

If this is a serious questions.... it attaches to hose, then hose to the skimmer, skimmer to pump, pump to filter. Watch a YouTube video if you've not vacuumed a pool before.

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.

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.

You hook it up to the same place where you would attach the hose for vacuuming the pool manually, and you put the lid into the skimmer basket so that the vacuum will have suction, just like you would if you were vacuuming manually. Hope that helps.

That will depend on a couple of things. The hose didn't fit ours so we had to use the attachment that comes with the unit and attach it through the skimmer. This attachment also has a valve that controls the suction to adjust the unit for proper functioning. You will want to use the attachment for regulating suction. Over all I really like unit and find it easy to use.

My pool only has a single skimmer with one return. Mine did have the eyeball thing though. In my case I simply unscrewed the eyeball and then screwed the Poolskim onto the threads from where the eyeball used to be. I'm pretty sure that you need threads to connect it to. If you don't you could probably visit a home improvement store and pick up some threaded coupling to make it work.

This is a very good unit and I have had great success for several years with mine. It is a suction cleaner that "vacuums" the pool and you have to plug into an intake line to your to your pool filter. This intake is usually located along the side wall of your pool and has a trap door to open and then insert the tube. If you don't have an intake line, then this unit is of limited use. You could use this unit in the intake in the bottom of the skimmer well, but then you skimmer system would not work while this unit is operating. I suppose you could use this pool cleaner a couple days per week and the skimmer the rest, but you will need to skim your pool of debris diligently while this unit is in operation.

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.

Yes there is a vacuum accessory, which can be purchased separately. To install it, you remove a plate on the back of the unit and replace it with an attachment piece for the hose. I didn't buy it, so I don't know how well it works but the chipper/shredder has plenty of suction, so it should work well...

The tool is not a vacuum itself. You attach the suction hose from the pool pump/filtering system to the top of the tool and that provides the suctioning power. I have found that this picks up everything that can fit through the hose and will get all loose dirt up. Just keep in mind that whatever is sucked up goes into the pool filtration system, so if the pool is really dirty you may have to clean the filtering system later.
