Hi all. I just recently bought another of the same Intex pools bc my older one got rusty after 5-ish years (and the pumps died, and the liner was bleached out, so new one serves). On my previous pool, I sized up on my existing pump, therefore I had the over the wall Intex skimmer attached to old/lesser power pump I rigged up, and then I ran my aqua critter on my regular intake on my bigger/newer sand pump. I pretty much left it connected all the time and it vacuumed to the leaf canister every time the pump ran.
On this new pool, I want to install the in wall Hayward skimmer, and I was hoping not to need to purchase a second pump this time.
If you have this set up, do you just run the critter occasionally, reconnecting it to the skimmer as needed? Roughly how often? Does that seem to do the job?
I liked how clean the pool was with critter running daily, but I’m guessing that’s not going to work w/in-wall skimmer bc then it would basically never be skimming, bc it would always be vacuuming instead.
Am I looking at this fully and correctly?
Is it either skimmer or critter if you only have 1 pump…or is there another option?
