It doesn't use the skimmer, it hooks to the return, where the water comes back into the pool.
How long is the hose that comes with it? I'm intrigued!
I got the Intex Automatic Pool Cleaner

Idk but I'm buying one of these this weekend. I wish i had a skimmer though. While it is ok to walk around the pool while scooping the leaces out, it would be nice to see it without leaves and crud on the bottom. I'm below a huge live oak tree. It's not too bad.. yet
My pool is 24' Round, and it doesn't have an issue with getting to the far side.
i guess mine came with a hose short. mine barely reaches the far side of my 16'.
Will this work for my intex 16x48 prism frame pool? No skimmer and whatever pump came with it. A filter pump.
Whether or not you have a skimmer doesn't even matter with this particular vacuum, the main thing is having a filter pump with enough gallons per hour flow to operate it.
Don't be surprised if it doesn't move with a 1500 gph pump. I had a 1600 gph, and it just barely worked. I suggest a minimum of 2500 gph. Oh well, you've always wanted a bigger pump anyway, haven't you?
my 2100 gallon shoots this thing around the pool pretty good. but i know next year i will going up in pump and filter size. i have to shut off my return line to the pool and just turn on the valve for the robot. not too bad but i would like to be able to run both the eyeball jet and the robot at the same time.

I got this pump in the spring. Somehow the larger pump is cheaper than the smaller ones.

It came in yesterday but it won't hook up to my return, gonna call In The Swim and see if they have an adapter, unless someone here knows of one.
On my Intex pool I just remove the cover from my return jet that has the eyeball thingy and then the adapter that came with the robot screws on right in its place
After I take off my eyeball (we'll, not mine, the pools) the hookup on the vacuum is about an inch and a half larger than the threads for the eyeball.
The eyeball is the little piece that you can swivel around to aim your water whichever way you want to go... and yeah it sounds like you're probably going to need an adapter
I don't have one of those. Wth? Does anything that automatically cleans it work with mine?

This is one that hooks up to where the water comes back into pool... normally there's a cover on that that has the little swivel thingy that you can swing around to Amy water whichever way you want it to go for circulation purposes... you should have at least this opening if not that part... can you provide a picture of where your water comes back into your pool?
