Nice upgrade. I work on in-ground pools but once in a while people come to me with the typical above ground pools issues. They never like the price ("But that's more than I paid for the whole POOL!"), but they never quit thanking me for the results. Usually they have paid through the nose on pool chems already, trying to compensate for the toy pump and filter's innate shortcomings. The pump and filter which comes with the pool are great...if you install the pool indoors and no one ever gets in it!

I did it man i got me a used duraglass pool pump because thier the best built pumps around paired it with a 1988 c800 hayward cartridge filter pluged it in and it works but thier so much back pressure because of the power of the pump and having 1 return so i added a 1 and 1/2 t to the return and pipped a waterfall out of 1 and 1/2 inch piping and my pressure runs at 7 psi i love it man cleared up my tiny pool in two hours now i need to get me a kreepy krauly kruiser or wahoo cleaner and hook my cleaner to the pump side

We did this using a Hayward sand filter and 2 hp pump, don't worry about getting adapter kits, just use proper pool eyeball inlet fittings that use 1.5' hose to start with and also one of the best upgrades to do is cut in a proper wide mouth skimmer, then you can use the existing inlets as vacuum ports and you have skimming which is the only thing to get the debris out before it falls to the bottom.

A 2hp pump is WAY over powered and is VERY DANGEROUS on this type of pool.do to entrapment issues. 3/4hp is all you need. However plumbing with a skimmer and returns is a better way to do the plumbing. I was planing on selling this pool and did when I stated my in ground. So I did not want to modify the pool.

So, if I'm not mistaken, you aren't putting these pipes together properly. Why no PVC primer? it's meant to soften the PVC to help adherence. In fact in homes if you don't do this, you always come back for cracks, leaks, and broken pipes. You also did not install any connectors for disassembly at any point meaning all this needs to be cut out if there is ever anything wrong, something needs to be replaced, or moved/added...
@AquanutAcademy

There was no need for primer for this installation with the glue I was using. It has been tested upto 300psi with no issues. This system is 10 to 15 PSI max. About the same as on a DWV system. 20 years. Thousands of pools 0 issues. I do use primer underground. There are unions in every place that needs them. More unions on this super basic system then most pool systems. So there's that. Also a pro would cut a pipe to change something without a thought if needed. We do it daily. Thanks for watching.

The first thing that should have been listed in directions is to chunk that crappy ass filter setup into the trash😂. But they don't tell you that because that's where they're making the money is off of those cheap paper filter cartridges. They already know that those small cheap little filters aren't sufficient enough to maintain water quality in a pool that size, they're just banking on people being ignorant enough to not know better lol. I have ours hooked up to a 3,300 GPH flow rated sand filter/ pump and our pool stays crystal clear all season long with only basic maintenance that consist of weekly vaccuming and backwashing💪😎.

I currently have a 1.5 variable speed Hayward pump, but due to our move our water use is limited to say the least and we have to go with the filter cartridge instead of the sand filter we had. My main point is the 2" down to the 1.5, since the filter you are currently using is for in ground pools and the one I'm getting is the same...for in ground use.

We have an intex rectangular 16x32x52 14,000 + gallon pool. I see some ppls pictures and videos with 2 intakes but ours only came with 1 intake and 1 return on the pool. We are going to put in a wall skimmer, very nerve racking but the floating skimmer just doesn’t do the job. If we install the wall skimmer should we connect that to the regular intake with a T connector to the pump or should we plug the existing intake so that just the skimmer is the only intake. Also we had someone give us a 325sq ft cartridge filter and we needed a pump. Got a good deal on a second hand but it was sold as a set up with a 200 sq ft cartridge filter. came with the platform and the pump is a 2 hp 2 speed pump. We are trying to decide if we should stick with the filter(200 sq ft) that came with the pump or would the 325 sq ft filter be better. Thanks

Hello, I see that you have 2 outs and a return, did you do the hole for the return yourself? My pool only has 2 and I need a third for the return. It is a rectangular one.

That's odd. You should have 2 suction ports and 1 return. I knew I was going to be selling this pool as soon as I started on my in ground so I did not make any modifications to the pool itself. However your local pool store can sell you add on ports

@@AquanutAcademy Just an overkill or will I have issues? It's the Pentair SuperFlo 1.5HP Standard Efficiency 340039. I found the pump for pretty cheap so I just got it. I have added Hayward skimmer to my pool. The outlet on that is 1.5inch. I have two outlets and two returns now. One of the old outlets I turned into a return. The whole piping is PVC 1.5" I have the pump paired with Hayward W3C12002 StarClear Plus Cartridge Pool Filter, 120 Square Foot and Pentair Mastertemp 125 heater. I am waiting for electricity and gas to be connected. I can change the pump if it will cause an issue. I plan to add a water fall/water fountain as well later.

WATCH NEXT: kzitem.info/news/bejne/k2yDyJ-Ir2KDgKw Some people have messaged me, that there could be an entrapment issue with a single suction port. However this is a double suction port. Even still there could be an entrapment issue if one of the suction side hoses collapse. There for I recommend talking to your pool professional before making modifications to your pool. There are 2 things that need to be done here. #1 I need a smaller pump. A 1/2hp would be better. #2 I need to add a skimmer in addition to the suction ports. To not only insure against entrapment but also to help clean the pool.
