1.5 in vacuum hose - 2" skimmer return

[Jhillm]

Old pool - gunnite/plaster. Skimmer suction is larger than 1.5" hose currently available. Ridge 1'5 inches down prevents seal of 1.5 in hose to neck.
1.5" hose will fit vacuum head. What to do?

Geday Jhillm and welcome to TFP.

You should be using a skimmer plate or vacuum plate. The skimmer basket should always be left in place to collect any large bits.
