Question 1

do the hoses come with it?

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.  I just received mine and the hose and adapters come with it.  EVERYTHING you need to set it up.  I set mine up on a 26' Coleman pool and it works great!

Question 2

Will this Skimmer work with the Easy Set Pools??

Accepted Answer

Yes!  The deluxe kit works with the Intex Easy Set or Bestway Fast Set pools, which have the inflatable rings at the top. The skimmer comes with a bracket, which fits those type pools, AND a bracket, which works with frame pools. (Read description to make sure both brackets are included in set you purchase.) Also make sure your filter pump handles at least 800 gph. 
  
    Suggestions for best performance:
🔹1.  Unless you are using a powerful filter, use the plug, which comes with the kit, to put INSIDE the second strainer cap/cover. The plug PURPOSELY has a hole in it, so it slows down the suction on that strainer, but increases the suction on the skimmer!
🔹2.  Because high temperatures can cause the inflated ring to lose air, be careful!  You don’t want your entire skimmer to slip to a slanted position, which will cause the skimmer to suction air into your filter!!  
    ▪️I discovered, if I tie the skimmer bar, where the nut is, that adjusts the height, to the strainer base, which goes through pool wall to attach to hose, it keeps the skimmer from flipping up, if the pool is left unattended. You can still change the height of skimmer, depending on water depth. I have used a “horse knot” but a regular, tight knot works fine. I wouldn’t trust a bow; the suction could untie it!! Make sure ends of tie are short enough, so they aren’t flowing into skimmer. 
    ▪️This year, I just used a small, ball-bungee cord to tie it down. Super easy!
     ▪️Also, make sure the bracket is fastened pretty tightly—not so tight it could hurt the ring, but secure enough, that it’s difficult to turn it on the ring. Remember…, the inflatable ring will lose air, at times, so if the bracket isn’t tight enough, the entire skimmer could tilt of the entire skimmer, when you aren’t looking, especially, if not tied down, and air will be suctioned into your filter!!!  
🔹3.  The Blue case, which as the basket inside, MUST FLOAT a little above the white outer casing!  I would suggest allowing 1-2” between blue top edge and white casing. Water will flow inside white casing a little, which also filters water. When the blue part floats freely, the water is suctioned over the top, pulling debris on top of the water into basket. 
🔹4.  BEFORE TURNING OFF THE FILTER, grab the handle of basket and pull it and the blue casing COMPLETELY out of the main, white casing of skimmer and out of the pool to dump debris on the ground. Then, you can turn off filter, replacing the clean basket/blue casing back into position. If you turn the filter off first…., the debris in the basket, especially bugs, will flow back into the pool! 🤦🏼‍♀️ (Sometimes, we learn the hard way!  😂)

We live in the country (farm land and ranch area), so the filter has been amazing for us!!  It skims leaves, bugs, grass, etc, into the basket, keeping our pools MUCH cleaner, since they don’t sink to the bottom.  You might wonder, at first, if it’s really working, but watch as items make their way towards the skimmer! When you clean the skimmer, you will see how much debris it captured, especially, if you live in an area, where bugs and leaves are constantly getting in the pool!!
    I used it on a bestway fast set, 18’ pool last year and an intex easy set, 15’ this year--using the SAME skimmer!  I won’t have another pool without a skimmer!!

Question 3

Does this work with the new frame design?

Accepted Answer

Mine works great (100%) with my intex ultra pool.

Question 4

how do you connect a wahoo suction poolside cleaner to skimmer

Accepted Answer

It hangs over the side by an extension and a hose connects it to the filter for suction.
