used this yesterday..it seems to pick up most small particles like sand pretty well. Of course, there is always the suction problem of pump connections and hose length, etc. but overall, it does a good job with exception of cleaning the sides. not weighted well enough to keep the head from "floating".

New pool owner; what creates the suction this uses? Do I need a special vacuum or do I use a ShopVac?

1.) You have to have a pole that fits it. 2.) You have to have a very long hose to fit it. 3.) You have to have an adaptor for the intake that fits the long hose I mentioned in number two. 4.) You have to have a pump sufficient enough. *I had all the parts I needed left over from my old vacuum kit. I am going to put the link to that kit here and hope the links works for you to see it. That kit worked great but it was old and finally cracked from a kid throwing it down. I used my parts to fit into this. As for my pump, I used to have a paper filter pump but switched to a sandpump. Love the sandpump and it has great power. My pool is just an Intex 16 x 48. Here is the link for the vacuum I used to use and kept the parts to use with this new piece. http://www.amazon.com/Intex-Pool-Maintentance-Kit-Edition/dp/B005QIXOY0

Do i have to manually vaccum or once its attached to the hose and pump it will do it on its own

Well the best way to use this attachment for vacuuming is.1) attach to your extension pole2) get into pool3) get that swimsuit off4) beer in one hand5) then vacuum if you really want to by then

I get the 1851 and 1850 both in my search - does anyone know what the difference is?

I can't see a difference between 8150 and 8151, so my guess is that the 8151 is a very minor update. The 8165 does have side brushes.
