Very good product! I’ll try to keep this short and sweet as others have mentioned some of the most important things already. Firstly the instructions are pretty good however...BE SURE AND PRESCREW ALL THE SCREWS INTO THE HOUSINGS!!! I did this as well and it did make it much easier to get the screws in once you have your holes punched. You’ll need a heavy duty screwdriver though (not sure of the size but something like a #8 or #9 ((large headed)). This unit works perfectly with the Intex return hoses! No need for an adapter the return hose slides right into the lower fitting that comes with it and the clamp fits very secure just make sure the hose is all the way on and your clamp is above the divot ring so the hose gets a good seal and won’t slide off.Don’t cut your pool “opening†until after you’ve screwed in all the screws VERY TIGHT. Also, the main housing uses 6 screws! 4 of them are kinda hidden way down in the top and bottom. I used a long handle pair of pliers to pre-install them on my workbench then used a manual screwdriver to torque everything in place (DONT FORGET YOUR GASKETS) the only issue I had was the Teflon tape that comes with this is junk. Don’t use it. Get some good tape for the bottom fitting. Mine leaks a little but not too bad. I’ll fix that later.I’m using an Intex 16†sand filter with a 1/2 Hp motor. Let me tell you...this thing sucks HARD! Don’t stick your fingers down on the suction hole like I did and almost lost a finger! Otherwise it began sucking everything that approached it amazingly! The plastic looks kinda cheap but is thick and pretty durable only time will tell if this thing holds up to the West Texas sunshine and heat!

I bought at just under $28 so how could I go wrong? Whoops! The price has gone up.I had a similar skimmer on my previous above ground pool, but that skimmer had a smaller mouth. Because of the wider mouth on this one it works better. It narrows inside which causes the water to move faster as it enters the skimmer helping to pull in more floating debris. (My new Kholer toilets unique flush valve uses a similar design to give a fast flush with little water.)Installation was pretty intuitive, but difficult and tedious. Difficult because it took everything my old arthritic hands had to turn those screws. Thankfully, I had followed another reviewers suggestion to screw in then remove all the screws before installation. I had to use a drill to get them in because I just didn’t have the strength to do it. Even after taking this extra step it was still difficult for me to get the screws in by hand during installation resulting in blisters by the time I was done. Should have worn gloves. (The pool was almost full of water in order to have the wall tight and I wasn’t going to stand in the water and use an electric drill. I guess this was one of those rare times when I could have used a battery powered drill.) The tediousness comes in when trying to line up the holes and get the screws to bite - especially the first few. Be sure to get those screws TIGHT in order to avoid leaks. Have some patience here. It’s all worth it when you are done.It’s too bad above ground pools don’t come with such a skimmer. Just having an underwater hole in the side of the pool doesn’t do the job required. Between this skimmer and my Intex robot vacuum, I NEVER have to manually vacuum my pool. I just keep my filters clean.If there were any flaws with the skimmer it would be that the little basket inside is kind of flimsy. It certainly does the job, but it is just kind of light weight and feels kind of brittle. I’ll have to be careful with it.I do highly recommend this skimmer, but suggest waiting for a reasonable price.Unrelated tip for your pool: Add some Dawn dish soap to the water. You will never have any kind of bug living in your pool and wasps/yellow jackets can’t land on the surface of the water. They either give up and fly away or drown and get sucked into the skimmer.

This is the least expensive thru-wall skimmer I have found. Reviews for other Hydro Tools skimmers were very good, so I purchased this one as an experiment on my 18" Intex pool. Everything you need is included and they also throw in an adjustable "eyeball" return fitting.Installation is fairly straight forward but one thing you will need is a #3 phillips head screw driver - a #2 will not work. I used a battery drill to get it snug and finished with a had held screwdriver to prevent from over-tightening. This worked well, but but it took some torque to stop it from leaking.My one issue was the hose fitting that connects to the bottom of the housing. I used the supplied teflon tape (which is horrible) and I could not stop the fitting from leaking. I tried three times each time with fresh tape, wrapping it completely about 3-4 times, but is still leaked. It also threaded way up into the haousing which did not seem right. I then got some different teflon tape and wrapped it about 8-10 times. I did have a little difficuly getting the threads started with that much tape, but it started and did not thread all the way up into the housing. This worked and is not currently leaking. In case you are wondering, I have used teflon tape 100's of times and also always wrap in the direction of tightning.Overall, the product from a pure quality standpoint is probably a 3, but at this price I do not expect 5-star quality. I rate the overall product at 5-star because it is functional, includes everything you need, and the price.

The risk taking is a bit worrying, however, the results pays of! Inproved the flow and the water is much clearer due to all surface impurities being removed. The listing is not showing all info, but the connector didn't need any adapters and the gasket is already Butterfield.I should add that I installed it while the pool was at highest water level. My logic behind it is that this will be the optimal liner tension while in use, so I installed the skimmer without cutting the liner, did all the connections, and then cut the liner.

Because of a sub grade filter system, our cheaply made pool would not stay clean. Instead getting rid of it, my husband bought all the parts to set up a real pump and filter system. Works like a charm now
