I have hard plumbed 1 1/2" PVC and instead of the Intex fittings we used these

It's my understand (maybe wrong) that Wanda the Whale / Diver Dan uses standard size vacuum hoses & the hose is made to fit into the skimmer (hence the cone it comes with)

That's all well & great except we don't have a thru-the-wall skimmer so I'm trying to find something that will screw into the Hayward 1 1/2" fitting and will also fit inside the vacuum hose (to keep the suction strong).
I have been unable to find anything that states the circumference of the vacuum hose ... anyone know what this is?
So far, I have come up with using this http://www.poolproducts4less.com/swimmi ... -hose.html
but it seems the hose it going to stop here and even with a clamp I'll lose lots of suction.
Thoughts / suggestions ?
