Intex pool upgrade inlet outlet valve

Shows how to cut liner and install valves
Video about the Sunny Tent • Intex pool Sunny Tent ...

[@jamieofalltrades536]

I have NO idea what you said, but I'll add "Make sure your razor is brand new and sharp"! Great video actions speak louder than words, thanks!

[@Parken26]

American that’s right, that’s what I said. And it is very important that the blade is sharp.

[@TrickyDickyBE]

For all the people worried about taking a knife to the pool; I was too but this turned out to be a really easy job and very effective. The 38mm (1 1/2”) fittings are tight and sturdy. I now have a skimmer attached on the outlet and a sand filter/salt water purifier on the inlet. The cutting job and adding the fitments was done in under 10 minutes. I could hold the knife blade on each side of the pool, so using two hands like this gave me even more confidence I wasn’t going to slash a big cut in the side.

Thanks for this! The upgraded pump/salt water system included one full size valve with no instructions.

[@Parken26]

Jason Kalawe thanks for watching and commenting. I am glad it made sense to you although I speak Danish in the video.

[@steggc85]

Monkey see, monkey do is universal no matter the language. I read cutting the liner is not advised but I’m gaining confidence with videos like these. Just got a sand filter because I’m sick of buying cartridges but the fitting are a quarter inch bigger. I have the adapters but they leak air in on the intake side.

[@rashad161]

Looks like the same valves I have. The problem with this conversion is the outlet on the valve is only 1 1/4" - not sure what this accomplishes?

[@Parken26]

Hello Bob, there is no problem with this conversion. This conversion allows you to fit not only the valves, providing open/close feature, but also larger diameter hoses/pipes which allow for more water flow to larger filter and pump, which gives a better cleaning and less required runtime for the pump.

Can you put a 38mm pipe which came with the sand filter to the valve? I assume that threaded part is for that pipe

[@Parken26]

Yes - this kind of hose fits on that valve. www.eurotoys.dk/product/Sammenkoblings_slange_Intex_reservedele_11535.asp?site=76&vn=101-011535&gclid=CjwKCAjwqauVBhBGEiwAXOepkS19I7v-qweZB0Po2w0yPMIRUVO0ErFpD2V0aONbveVY9sk-kzb-oRoCtlkQAvD_BwE

[@Parken26]

Daniel Kirk as long as it works anything is alright - Intex left a lot things on the wanted list, propbably to keep the price low. The rope kind of swings with the pool rather than having the valve rub against something that is stationary to the ground - I am glad you found something you could use.

[@drvalsalva]

The manual calls for some kind of cover or shelter for the pump. Is it needed and if so, did you make your own? Thanks for your help.

[@Parken26]

Hello Michael, sorry for this late response I was not made aware that you had asked a question. I house my filterpump and heat pump in a shed I built for it. Keeps it out of the elements hoping it will prolong the life of the equipment.

[@jamesspinelli6524]

Why do you tie with rope I don’t understand

[@Parken26]

James Spinelli the weight of the hose filled with water and the movement of the water in the pool from people moving around makes the valve jerk in the liner, so the string relieve this stress - or so I believe.

Tak for en god video. Et spørgsmål. Hvad størrelse slange er det du tilkobler, - er det 32 mm eller 38 mm? Til vores Intex Pool køre alle slanger med med 32 mm indvendig mål.

[@Parken26]

Mange tak for din kommentar Morten - det er Ø38 mm slange jeg bruger, du kan finde det hele på eurotoys.dk slangen er med omløber som passer på mit sandfilter. Du kan se den her video også kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4LMgZZ9bptnqpo I år kommer der så et saltanlæg på også i stedet for klordispenseren.

[@MortenWork]

Parken26 tak for dit hurtige svar. Min udfordring er at få en 38 mm slange til at passe på mit Sandfilter, hvor jeg helst vil bruge en slange tilslutning med omløber, som denne her www.eurotoys.dk/product/Slange_15_m_Oe38mm_Intex_29060.asp?site=76&vn=101-029060. Men jeg kan ikke finde nogen adaptor som jeg kan skrue på filteret. Vil helst gerne væk fra spændebånd. Min pumpe ligner denne hers tilslutning får både 32 og 38 mm. shop.poolworld.dk/product/sandfilterpumpe-4-vejs-til-pool-6-m3time-035-hk-6747/

[@Parken26]

Ja dit filter er med indvendig gevind men det kannok også løses. Du kan finde fittings her pooloasen.dk/swimmingpool/poolslange-fittings-mv og her koihulen.dk/fittings-anden-fitting-c-55.html Alternativt må du købe et Intex filter og holde dig til Intex produkter - det gør livet lidt nemmere hvis man holder sig til et mærke. Men det er ikke et problem med spændebånd - men snarer kvaliteten af slangerne, de er ikke særlig fleksible og derfor har de svært ved at sluttetæt på de glatte studser. Du kan evt. ligge en O ring omkring studsen eller blot noget tyndt gumme fra en gammel cykelslange. Jeg har været den vej rundt og valgte at investere i noget der fungere, for det er mega træls at have pool og så kun skal gå og holde øje med utætte samlinger. Sig til hvis du har behov for mere hjælp.

Did you cut a new hole? Or just make an existing hole larger? I have upgraded to an intex 16-inch sand filter pump and have already enlarged a hole for larger inlet piece. Now I am trying to figure out how to install the larger pool outlet suction fitting strainer connecter (#10744) and strainer grid and plunger (#10253) and plunger valve (#10747) that came with the kit that i purchased. I have a 18'x42" Summer Waves Round Pool. Do you recommend me cutting a new hole in the liner to allow for this fitting? Or should i grind the bottom of my original skimmer and cut a hole in the bottom of that? I just donr know which is the best and most efficient way to get the most out of this last outlet piece/set that i have left to install. I have the the intex sand pump installed and working, but as i said I have this last outlet set I'd like to install properly. Any advice or suggestions? I'm can work with tools. And I'm very capable with working with power tools and such, but I want to look around and get the best ideas and advice first.

[@Parken26]

Bridget Robinson just cut a hole where the existing out and inlet tubes are. These places are reinforced providing a stronger surface for the attacements - the items you have bought. You can also cut a new hole somwhere else - I thought of doing that so I could use the existing smaller out/inlet for attacing solar heating. But I decided the Sun is useless at our location and went solely with the heat pump which gives us roughly 30 degrees C every day. I hope this answers your questions otherwise please get back to me.

[@bridgetsavedbyjesusrobinso8744]

Parken26 This is the pool that i have: Summer Waves 18' x 42" Round Metal Framed Above Ground Swimming Pool with Deluxe Accessory Set www.walmart.com/ip/Summer-Waves-18-x-42-Round-Metal-Framed-Above-Ground-Swimming-Pool-with-Deluxe-Accessory-Set/22307034 I've already had to cut the hole bigger for the larger jet. But where so you think there is another reinforced spot on this pool? Unless around the bottom belt line? There is a small reinforced patch under the white skimmer housing. I just don't want to ruin the pool. :) thanks again for your reply.

Hello. I am thinking about doing the same to my prism frame pool. I have the same 32mm opennings like you had. But I bought the sand filter pump with saltwater and in the package there are 38mm hoses and that new 38mm inlet nooze. But I am missing the valves and the skimmer which I am planning to buy. I must say I am a bit affraid to cut holes in my new pool. I was talking to a local pool shop and you know he was against it to cut holes. But hmm I think those 32mm holes would be a bottleneck if I use that adapter B or what do you think ? Can I screw up something during cutting the 38mm holes ? I still have a 2 years warranty hmm

[@Parken26]

Don't worry - just go ahead and do it. Use a new sharp blade and a steady hand. I don't fancy the adaptor B even though I did buy a set, never used them - decided to cut the larger holes. Others have done it so why should I not be able to do it as well - and it works well no leaks at all. Use a cutting motion with the blade rather than trying to push the blade through the material. I cut my holes with water in the pool to ensure the liner was stretched out so the hole would end up being round rather than eliptical but you can just as easily cut it with the liner laying flat on the ground just make sure your hole is round and fits the nozzles.

[@jovzinjovzin2656]

Thanks I will try my best. I would rather do a slower cut.Really afraid I will screw up something. I will take my laptop out and will watch your video one more time before cutting of the holes. Btw do you have some vacation plans in Czech Republic ? Prague ? So you would come and show me in person how to cut it.

[@Parken26]

No vacation plans at the moment - unfortunately. Just do it! Once you have finished you'll wonder why you worried... I worried too if that's any comfort.

[@DarKHumOuR3]

i am planning to buy a new saltwater filter to upgrade my metal frame pool. i also had the same questions. but dont worry. grab a good tool and cut it. i have other three older and smaller intex pools that i use them for repairing my bigger. i cut them many times to get patches for my big one and i assure you that the material is still strong even if is cutted. dont be afraid. just do it. but firstly fill up the pool until the water level reaches the hole that you plan to make. good luck

[@elizabethflachs5187]

We had cut ours and to be honest with you, i hope you don't do it. With the pump on we found ours started to leak. I am a single mum and have found it hard to repair. I had to buy waterproof silicone and still the water is somehow getting through. Do you know you can buy adapters that connects to smaller outlets. I wish i knew about them b4 my mate cut the vinyl.

Which pump did you atach to it

[@Parken26]

It is an Intex sand filter model SF60220 this is controlled by an inverter www.ukpoolstore.co.uk/acatalog/Clever-Pool_Variable_Speed.html so it only runs at 1200 rpm as opposed to the fixed 3500 rpm - btw I have seen this unit for sale in Denmark for half the price advertised on the page i linked to. This allows me to run the pool heat pump for longer time each day at a lower cost for electricity.

How do you vacuum the pool with that setup? Thanks

[@Parken26]

Speedfreely if you notice when I get ready to install the fitting through the liner I use a blue fitting for the inside of the pool. This fitting comes with the surface skimmer. I just disconnect the skimmer hose on the inside of the pool and use a Ø32 mm hose. First I fill the length of hose with water and then connect it to the blue fitting. Sucks real good and then I dive around and vacuum the pool. Every now and then I need to clean the strainer behind the blue fitting so I unscrew it and gently grab the debris with two fingers making sure itbdoes not go back into the pool. Also the Ø32 mm hose goes into the blue fitting and not outside as the skimmer hose does. We now have a tent around the pool which have greatly reduced the amount of debris in the pool and of course made it nice to swim on windy and rainy days which we have a lot of... Next year I plan to install a separate vacuum line by means of another valve on the outside of the pool below the valve installed in this video.
