Been using mine on a regular basis for over 20 years, have an extension with a piece of rigid tubing on the end I use for vacuuming the sump out as well. Buy yourself a bag of powder from a pool supply store, will last forever and is much cheaper, you can also get powdered carbon ( I used to get it from the local dry cleaner ) works great but you have to run the diatom in a small container till it runs clear as you don't want to flood your system with it. Periodic use will not have any adverse effects, they also work great on a quarantine tank.
