I installed this on an 19x38' in-ground pool. It's not effective on a pool of that size. The suction area is only about 4 inches from the mouth of the Pool Devil. This was with a decent flow of water through it. There was enough flow to make the bag straighten out, with some froth in it. I dropped some leaves on the water within about 6 inches and it wouldn't suck them in.
I think the Pool Devil is more suitable for an outdoor spa that's about 6 feet in diameter. As a replacement, I bought the Poolskim skimmer. It has much more suction, pulling in debris up to 18 inches away.
The Pool Devil comes with a number of fittings. If you have the standard 1.5 inch internal threaded return jet, it will screw right into it (and so will the Poolskim).
I bought the larger bags for the Pool Devil. They are still fairly small, lending credence to the idea that this unit is intended for a spa.
One tip on assembly: The Pool Devil's flexible hose has to be snapped over a ridge on each of the fittings. This takes about 15 lbs. of force with your arm. If you don't snap the hose properly onto the fittings, it will fall apart in your pool.
Another issue: I installed the Pool Devil on a return jet on the opposite wall from our Polaris Poolsweep 280. One day I came out and found the Poolsweep was hung up on the Pool Devil. It was just stuck there, hanging on the wall. The Poolskim has a pin on the top which supposedly prevents the Poolsweep's hose from looping over it. I haven't owned the Poolskim long enough to see if this works. Update: Yes, the Poolskim's vertical pin prevents the Polaris from hanging up on it.

Swimming Pool Devil Dirt Leaf Skimmer Review by Aaron Baker "Aaron B" (Los Angeles)
The adapters won't fit for my 12 X 30 Intex pool with the stock pump (which is kind of weak by the way). I had to undo the hose clamp on the outside of the pool where the outflow is and then remove the fitting that Intex gave me, ask my neighbor to cut me off about 4 inches of 3/4" plastic pipe, then I wrapped some clear tape around one end of it a bucnh of times and then shoved it into the pool devils elbow and the other end I put into the outflow hole on the side of the pool and then I re-tightened the hose clamp. I turned it on and honestly it was blowing water into the net/sock and you can see almost all of it is coming right back out as though the net/sock was too fine of a mesh. So I grabbed the sock/net and stretched it out really hard on all sides width wise (not length wise) and then it started working. After that I can see no water flow coming backwards out of the net/sock that it is getting blown into and I could see things floating towards it on the surface and getting blown into the net/sock. The sock probably needs to be less fine (it's about the same as a panty hose mesh but thicker) and I think they should have included an adapter for small 12' pools but for the price I am glad that it is there because i can now see it blowing stuff into the sock but I'm guessing that sock is going to get clogged pretty quick and I will have to clean it off. Also I will be looking for probably a panty hose or something like that in the store that I can cut to twice the length or maybe even a fine fish net stocking, i don't know but this sock seems to fine of a mesh and too short because the water just bounces out unless you stretch the hell out of it sideways. I'm gonna say If I can find the right sock to go on there this will work good.
