Order Here: foxabovegroundpools.com The New Intex 2500 gph filter pump provides efficient pool filtration and is essential for a quality swimming experience. Who wants to swim in a dirty pool? Built-in auto timer with preset 2 to 12 hour filtering cycles makes pool maintenance easy. Plus the auto times saves energy and extends filter pump life.
This is my 1st ever video (DUH!) which shows how to heat-form flexible pvc tubing to fit Intex saltwater system fittings. No glue, totally reversible and non-permanent. Each adpater is .99 from intex but the shipping is .99. Final cost is just under .00 but these adapters can be made any length and they compensate for misaligned pipes and offest runs. They also offer visibility. I've used this tubing before convert skimmer/strainer basket hoses and pool inlet hoses. Current system configuration is 1-1/2hp Duraglas pump, 50 lb. Hayward sand filter and Zippy/Barracuda pressure side cleaner. There is also piggy back heating with 2 - 3ft X 7ft roof mounted, DIY solar water heaters. This is currently hooked up to an 8 y/o 15ft diameter steel sided AGP. It could easily handle 12000 gals.

I’ve finally figured out a way to hard plumb the system without any rubber tubing. I bought a couple of one inch unions and only used the half which goes against the rubber seal. I used the gray union sold by ACE Hardware because it fits perfectly inside the plastic nut connecting to the intec salt system. Ive had it hooked up for two months now and so far it works perfectly with no leaks.

@garymitchell1994 One end of the braided flexible hose slips over the INTEX ADAPTER #10849 and the other is heated in boiling water and then formed over the outside of 1-1/4″ rigid PVC tube. Most INTEX units come with only 1 of the adapters so you will need to purchase an additional one.
