New Pool Owner

Nope it did not come with any adapters at all,
Not even the strainer where the water flows out!

I thought it would atleast come with the 1 1/2" connectors.

Thanks for the follow up. Sounds like you have some "innovation" ahead of you.

Get the Unicel cartridges ASAP.

Please, take pictures of what adapters you find. This is a somewhat murky area without standard solutions, so whatever info you can add to the 'pool' will help.

Sorry I haven't posted in the past few days!
I have been very busy at work :-(

Good news is I figured out how to easily convert my pool.
This was purchased from my local pool store



I also purchased a 1 1/2 pool return fitting and screwed the part above to that. (I did have to carefully cut the opening a bit bigger so I could fit it thru the hole)

On the skimmer I cut the hose that came with our new pump and just used a hose clap to hold it in place!


No leaks!

I hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing!

[CMaxim]

It's no problem, I hope it helps others, all the Intex "optional" parts were not necessary!

[CMaxim]

I am seeing progress!


It's starting to clear up after 2 days of running the new sand filter!

Excellent! Chlorine can kill stuff but it is up to good filtration to clear a pool.
