    I bought this so I could easily hook up a vacuum but there is zero suction. I have it on the lowest B line which is the one furthest from the pump. I've tried cutting off the other line when vacuuming and its terrible. If i have a small skimmer on my filter, can I not just hook the vac up directly to the filter? This is beyond frustrating

    I have this skimmer and pump. When I put the hose on the inlet, the water went down (half way) in the first chamber to the pump. Is it suppose to do that? I don't want to ruin the pump

      Not sure. Would have to see it.

      Yes its normal. Mine came with a plug with a quarter inch hole in it for the second inlet/suction hose. Just install it when your trying to skim the pool. It does some skimming without the plug. The skimmer body needs to be deeper in the water the blue part floats and will adjust to the water level. Love it. Only issue I have is sometimes leaves will plug the screen at the bottom of the skimmer. This will cause the pump to cavitate and ruin it.

    doesnt need to pull it down, it will settle as long as it gets it on top.

      It has plastic clamps I just got mine. It just kinda screws on to the frame. No holes or drilling.

      To add. It looks like you are in a warmer climate. I am in NY. Since I have the Hayward skimmer I leave the pool through the winter, I don't store it.

      That skimmer will work fine with a sand filter, ran one for years, does what it was designed to do and does it well, plus you don’t need to cut a hole in your liner, I was just about to fall for the wall type, and you can run your water deeper with this than a wall mount
