The pool builder left us a hose with a brush on one end that connects to the telescoping pole we use to brush the sides. But the hose doesn't connect to the port on the side of the inground pool. Both appear to be the same size. I originally thought that the suction would keep it in place but it doesn't. The pool company suggested connecting the hose inside the skimmer (but couldn't explain why we have a vacuum port). Is there some kind of adapter that would make this work?
 
Show us pictures of the vacuum port and the hose you have.

I suspect the vacuum port was designed for a vacuum cleaner to be connected to it.
