This FAQ supports SOSPool.com customers by explaining compatibility, installation, and delivery expectations before placing an online order.

Compatibility Checks for Online Orders
Online customers often want clear confirmation that the 920 works with their skimmer and hose. This section outlines what to verify before checkout.
How can I confirm the Aladdin 920 fits my skimmer before ordering online?
Check your skimmer markings or lid label for “Admiral S15” or “Admiral S20.” If your skimmer is one of these models, the 920 should fit securely. A quick photo comparison with product images also helps verify match.
Will my standard vacuum hose attach to the 920?
Yes, the suction port accepts typical vacuum hose cuffs. Ensure the hose end is submerged and free of cracks for best suction. Most online customers use the 920 with common vacuum heads.
Can the 920 still create a seal if my skimmer basket is worn out?
Yes, the vac plate seals directly to the skimmer opening, not the basket. As long as the throat is intact, the plate will maintain suction. Many customers order a new basket at the same time for convenience.
Installation and Vacuuming Technique After Delivery
This section explains the steps to install the vac plate once it arrives and how to achieve strong suction.
How do I install the 920 vac plate after delivery?
Remove the basket, center the plate over the skimmer throat, and attach the hose. The pump’s suction creates the seal automatically. No tools or adjustments are required.
What should I do if suction seems weak while vacuuming?
Prime the hose fully, check for trapped air, and ensure the plate is sitting flat. Inspect the hose cuff for debris that may obstruct flow. These quick checks typically restore suction.
Does the 920 stay in place during deep or heavy debris cleaning?
Yes, a properly centered plate remains steady even under high flow. If it shifts, adjust the hose angle to reduce side-pull. Consistent placement ensures reliable vacuuming.
Shipping, Delivery, and Online Support
SOSPool.com customers often want to know how quickly they can receive the vac plate and how to prep before using it. This section outlines expectations.
How soon does the Aladdin 920 ship when ordered online?
Orders generally ship quickly, and delivery estimates appear during checkout. Tracking updates provide ongoing visibility. Many customers receive the vac plate ahead of schedule.
What should I inspect when the 920 arrives?
Verify the plate sits flat, the port opening is clean, and the material is free from cracks. Confirm it matches the shape of your skimmer throat. This ensures a smooth installation.
Should I order extra accessories with the 920?
If your hose cuff or vacuum head is worn, ordering replacements together avoids multiple deliveries. Many online customers add these items to streamline their cleaning setup.
