Attach the hose to the side skimmer basket with a special plastic adaptor that fits in your size skimmer.
Types of skimmers: Brands: Purex, Anthony, American Products, Pentair, Hayward are major names.
Hum, not inside the skimmer basket but under it. There you will find either a disc type object much like a flying saucer. Then under that there will be 2 holes. The one, if you are looking down into the skimmer from the deck side of the pool, to back side of the skimmer - 0 0 < that one - closest to you is the suction part of the skimmer. Your hose is pushed into this hole after filling the hose with water.
The "adapter" is another type skimmer as stated above that you can rotate to the left or right to achieve optimum skimmer suction.
With a single hole skimmer - that hole is the suction for the vac. You just have to plug the second skimmer if you have one.
Still, there is another with a hole in the side wall of the skimmer near the bottom of the skimmer. This is also the vac hole. With it you plug yoyr vac into it and then close a valve that controls the main drain. You have to remember when you are finished vacing pool you then open the main drain valve. The latter one is a quite old system made by or used by Anthony Pools. k

If you have the regular set up that includes a skimmer, pump and filter then you don't have to waste any water. Get an lid-to-hose adapter, that fits over the skimmer basket at your pool supply store. Fill the hose with water and attach it to the lid. Place the lid inside the skimmer over the skimmer basket, then vacuum to your hearts content. Pool Masters
Which skimmers need to be opened or closed prior to attaching the hose to the vacuum?
As far as opening and closing nothing, just make sure your hose is filled with water it is eaiser to begin vacuuming, normally we attach the hose to the vacuum that goes in the pool then attach the hose to the skimmer then begin vacuuming if we do not loose our prime, if the pressure gauge on the filter is reading low you can probaly can start vacuuming if it is reading mid to high pressure it sometimes is best to backwash before vacuuming.

How does the pool vacuum work?
The same as the floor vacuum inside the house but instead of it sucking air it sucks water through the filter. Just run the pool hose from the pool vacuum to the vacuum plate over the top of the leaf basket. then turn on the pump and runi t along the floor of the pool.
