[h=1]We bought a Hayward 500 Aqua Bug Above-Ground Automatic Pool Cleaner. It is meeting our needs. My question is there a adaptor to attach the hose to my Hayward Skim Vac Plate? When i manuel vac the leaves go into the skimmer basket. In order to attach the aqua bug i have to remove the Skim Vac Plate and basket and use the included adapter. The problem is that i have to empty the pump basket. If available i would rather buy the adapter than buy the $37.00 Leaf Canister.[/h]
