Converting 15' Round Intex to Hard Plumbing

[PoolDoc]

Don't try to connect hard pipe to an Intex.

There are some vacuum adapters you can use, possibly something like this

Intex Vacuum Tube Adaptor

However, I am NOT recommending that, because I'm not sure it's what you'll need, or even if you will need it. Also, I hate to see a $9 shipping charge with a $9 item -- that's not a ripoff necessarily, but I'd rather find a better way.

I'm going to be setting up a couple of Intex pools in the next week or so, and will be using them to test different products.

This vacuum system is being marketed for Intex pools, but it has mixed reviews and sounds fairly fragile:

Skooba Pool Vacuum Kit

A more standard vacuum set up can be adapted to an Intex pool; if there's not something being sold, I'm sure I can work something out at Lowes:

Poolmaster 27514 Classic Full View Triangular Vinyl Liner Vacuum
Hydro Tools 8365 8- to 16-Foot Adjustable Fluted Premium Fluted Telescopic Pool Pole, White
Hydro Tools 1-1/4-Inch Diameter With Swivel Cuff Pool Vacuum Hose

Unfortunately, I can't be any more definite than that, yet.
