- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- I'm converting from a 1.25 inch to 1.5-inch Hoses and fittings on an INTEX pool system. I have other plans for this pool to make it more user friendly and easier to maintain, this is the first step of many.
link to what I purchased, unfortunately, it's not available Due to being out of stock.

THANK YOU!! Great explanation and I wasn’t afraid to cut after watching this!! I wish I had watched this 3 hours earlier as I was struggling to figure out how to convert this.
Thank you so much for this video! I was at a lose for what to do and afraid to cut my pool. I did and everything worked perfectly!! Thank you again!
Your welcome, :)
I successfully cut my 1.25" inlet holes to accept 1.5" inlet assemblies. Your video gave me the confidence! Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome :)
I did the same to my pool last year, and it's been 100% water tight with no problems. I think that large round area is plastic welded like the rest of the pool seams. Awesome video, and to anyone else on the fence, follow just like he explained and you'll be glad you did.
Awesome, Glad to here it worked well for your pool. :)
Thanks for this. I upgraded my pump and filter and was considering just using the "B" type adapters instead of cutting, but I didn't want to restrict the pump's flow. I was terrified of doing the cutting, but this video makes me feel much more confident about trying it myself. Kudos!
Glad I could help :)
Can you post a link to the upgraded fittings?
Perfect. I'm about to attempt this tonight. Glad to have watched someone pull it off. Now I have confidence it will work. Thanks so much.
Good luck!
@@Yellowdogsworld done. Thanks man. Sometimes just watching the proper way to go about a task is the best help.
Thanks so much!!! I am also tired of the original crappy pool design and cartridge filters and appreciate your great work.
Glad you found my adventures in pool Hackery useful. 👍
Thank you! I just upgraded a pump for a smaller pool. I had forgotten how to cut my pool. 🤦🏼♀️ My gkids are so happy.
gotta do this in the winter, just got the dang water all stabilized...... thank you sir!
Your Welcome :)
Thank you. We were wondering about this ourselves. 👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 24' Intex pool. I had the connections from an older 18' Intex pool that didn't use the 1 1/4" hoses, it had 2 - 1 1/2" pool connectors with the valves on top. I bought a 2" tee and 3 - 2" threaded connectors. Used PVC cement to the connectors into the tee. I had a selection of hoses saved from older pools for the right lengths for the left intake and a longer one for the right intake. I used the same length hose for the intake for the tee to the pump. It looks and runs great!
Awesome... happy to here you were able to put it all together, and its working well. :)
My first pin on pinterest includes 2 pictures of the end result, here -> www.pinterest.com/rebob60/boards/

I like the look of the Y valve, very clean looking, Nice job :)
Love this very informative thank you very much I'm going to try it!😳😳😳😀😀😀😀😀😀
Anyway, of creating a list of parts, I seem to be struggling to find some particularly the pool outlet fittings, maybe even the source. Thanks
Thank you for making this video! I had my pool marked to cut but hesitated w/o seeing someone else had done it. Thanks! I'm totally not about to do what you just did :p
LOL... glad I could help.. or not help, I'm just here for the coffee, good luck with your mod's:)
This worked like a charm. I thank you.
Glad it helped!
Fantastic I going to do the same to my pool as I just bought a sand pump and it wont fit because of the size of the inlet and outlets only going for two holes as my robot vacuum works off the outlet end so the skimmer can stay where it is
Hi, can you post in the description box exactly what you used? I just want to make sure I purchase the right stuff. Great video.
Worked like magic! thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
Thank you. Great video. Beautiful dog
thanks... and Copper is really cool pup too :)
Great video thanks for sharing.
When rubber is exposed to petroleum jelly, the rubber can become brittle and cracked due to the solvents in the petrolatum. The petrolatum can also cause the rubber to swell and harden, reducing its elasticity and leading to eventual failure.
In your opinion would this work for an easy set pool? Because I don't have the reinforcement I may do that first on both side of pool.
Also do you think a heated hole saw would be a better idea?
Thanks for the tips! I have this exact same pool. And I want to NOT use both the outlet ports. I figure I could just put a plug in one of them? Any advice on that would be greatly appreciated
Please do show a follow up with the new filter, i have a best way pool ,15 by 48 steel pro and i tried to use the cartridge filter it came with and it's horrible, so i purchased a Intex sf1500 sand filter, i was going to go with a different brand but it had a lot of leaks complaints, but the Intex comes with larger 2 inch screw on hoses and I'm ordering adapters, adapter type A, as i got that info from Intex, i might make a video myself because the only support for these pools seems to be from u tubers like us
thanks yellowdog - very helpful!
Your welcome
I need you to come set up my pool!!
Any way you could link the items you used in the description box?
Any recommendations for those of us that don't have any re-enforced spots? All I have is a single output and a side skimmer that is 1.25 out.
I have the Bestways 16X10 oval version of this pool and upgraded the Flow Clear 1000L filter-pump to a 1500 liter model.
I just bought 2 $9 hose adapters from Home Depot.
They worked right away. I'm not confident that I can successfully cut into my pool liner without ruining it.
Can you show what they look like or a description?
I can’t find the two outtake parts I need, is there anyway you can post where to get them? Please???
I can’t find the two outtake parts I need, is there anyway you can post where to get them? Please???
Watched this video numerous times. When I order my sand filter it came with the 1.5 inch return. So ordered the 2 inlets to match. Cut them in this morning. So far so good. But I do have one question because I'm new to this size pools, what vacuum style/connection fo you use.
little shark pool vacuum is what i'm using, it came with rubber cone to fit multiple fittings. There's a couple ways to get it working with the Intex fittings.... I cut the secondary screen out of 1 of my intakes. The other way is use a screw on adapter here's the link.
www.amazon.com/Intex-Surface-Skimmer-Strainer-Adaptor/dp/B0050KAGOU/ref=asc_df_B0050KAGOU/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=193142362025&hvpos=1o3&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1254361605286841232&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1021278&hvtargid=pla-308320615840&psc=1
Hi did you also cut the 3e hole? I have only two intakes and want to make a 3 insert. But I'm affraid to do so, because that hole would not be inforced.
Since mine had the 3 reinforced holes already I didn't need to take that chance. If it were my pool and I only had the 2 ports, I wouldn't cut the 3rd one.
This is a great video, doing that myself soon for mine, one note though, the petroleum jelly actually hurts rubber gaskets and it is not recommended to use on them; look it up, not trying to bring down your excellent video, I just thought you ought to know.
no problem, I learned about the PJ later on :)
Use plumbers grease
does the inside of the new 1.5 " Inlet vent unscrew incase somone wants to connect an over the wall skimmer? you have to be able to remove the inside of new 1.5" cover (the water side) in order to screw the skimmer hose adapter to it?
The one I have does accommodate for the over the wall skimmer, there's a second set of threads for the adapter that should come with the skimmer to allow you to connect to the fitting.... that is of course if i remember correctly. 😁
What fitting did you use. Like what brand.
Do these valves have a 1.5" hole that goes to the pump or are they still 1.25"? I'm going to hard plumb my pump and want to eliminate all the cheap hoses so I need to connect the valves to a 1.5" pvc.
the input side is still 1.25 best I can tell.
Can you please list the products used?
Super helpful! I do have one question. I can only find the inlet and outlet as a set. Since you used two inlets, did you have to buy two sets? Just want to make sure I didn't miss anything while trying to get a full assessment of the costs.
Yes, since I did the first inlet outlet set the previous year. I bought another inlet outlet set the next year, so i ended up with an extra outlet, not a bad thing if you have a leaky cut off valve "you will have an extra". If you plan on doing the "Y" setup like i did in my follow up video, then you will need 1 extra hose as well, along with the stuff i used to make the "Y" I hope this this helps :)
@@Yellowdogsworld That's the plan! Appreciate the help.
Where did you get the hydro aeration inlet jet from I can’t find one on the Intex website
The sand pump I ordered came with one so i didn't have to buy one separately.
I think I would glue an extra reinforcement patch over the cut for security, but that is just me.
that would add some extra strength to that section, not a bad idea :)
Where do you find those 1.5 plunger valves with the part that goes inside the pool, I can find the plunger valves everywhere but not with the strainer part that goes inside the pool
Well at the time when I purchased them, they were sold as a kit, the portal strainer with the valve. below may be what your looking for.
www.amazon.com/Intex-26005E-LARGE-Fittings-1900-2500GPH-Strainers/dp/B07NY58MCC/ref=sr_1_17?dchild=1&keywords=intex+portal&qid=1621771303&sr=8-17
I would love to upgrade my pool like this,unfortunately I cant find the fittings anywhere. I've searched online but they're always "out of stock" and "unavailable "
I bought the Intex Hydro Aeration 38mm with plunger valves from a company on eBay, it was a German company and the delivered to UK in under a week, have a look on eBay.uk.
Try Amazon they carry everything in parts for the pool
Great video. Will convert mine too. Question. Does the vacuum fit the new 1.5" inlet as it did the 1.25" or do you need to buy a new vacuum..
The shark vac I use is intended to work with the 1.5 in fittings.
Its comes with a white rubber cone shaped adapter for fitting different style intake ports.
I need a link for the intake valves
Hi, so we just got our bestway 15x42 pool, and we're straight out of the box upgrading to a sand filter, and a hayward skimmer to attempt to avoid future mistakes and more money. Right now, all the hoses i have are 1 and a quarter. Is the only adapter we need the 1 and a half on the bottom of the skimmer? Much appreciated!
If the Heyward skimmer is the only intake you're going to have on the pool I would say yes.
@@Yellowdogsworld Okay, sounds good. thank you for your help! much appreciated.
No,, I heard you say YOU so you are liable lol thanks for the information,, great video
LOL... Uhh ohh, ya got me :)
Hello. I am planning to do the same to my intex prism frame. I bought a pump with saltwater system and there are only 38mm hoses and I got that hydro aeration inlet jet with it too which is for the same 38mm size hole. I am missing the valves and the skimmer which I am planning to buy. The problem is I am a bit afraid to cut holes to my completely new intex prism frame pool...
I am considering using adapter B but as one guy here said I am a bit afraid that it will be a bottleneck and that I will not use the full pump potentional. I was even talking about this to our local pool shop guy and well he was against it to cut holes. So now I am thinking to maybe stay the very first year with adapter B and do the holes after 2 years (warranty) or somehow risk it and think to myself *screw the warranty and do the holes :) Do you suggest to wait or screw warranty and do the holes right away ?
Well, their is always a risk to modifying any pool from the factory design, so if your unsure, don't do it...
What I did was a risk i was willing to take, no ones going to recommended cutting a pool like I did just for liability reasons.
The adapters are no risk option, especially since the pool is under warranty, I'd probably give them a shot first see how you like them.. plus their cheep.
I ran mine last year with the adaptors and it ran fine though it was on the lower range of acceptable flow for my heater. Going to cut them this year as it seems easy enough and quite a few people have done it without any problems (plus the larger outlet valves come with the sand filter).
hey buddy can you send me the info for the bulkaed part numbers im only finding the return fittings that have the air mixer so basicly im asking for the part numbers you used thanks
Here is the Amazon link to what I purchased, unfortunately, it's not available, more than likely due to the state of the world right now.

Here a link to an alternative version I found. "a little pricy though"

What sand pump did you purchase? We’ve had our pool 2 months and the pump that came with it is crap. Trying to make sure we have a good one that will actually stay working and push the water like it should. Thank you.
We bought the 3000 GPH pump with the pre-filter... its been doing a great job.
So like a lot of people I can’t fin the adapters you used, every time I search I only find the type b adapters 1.25 to 1.5 but doesn’t actually change the size of the hole. I can’t find the adapter where you have to cut which is what I want. Do you have a link or item number to get the ones you used. Thank you in advance and I enjoyed the video
Either version of the adapter will work since I had to use 1 of the smaller adapters that has the tighter restriction. Unfortunately even on the INTEX website they have a "note" stating the version received may vary. I myself have had a hard time finding the compression style adapter online that was assured to be that style. . All my parts came from either Amazon, or Home Depot.
Below is the INTEX site link with both styles listed
www.intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/above-ground-pools/ultra-frame/16ft-x-48in/2016/28327eh/pump/10722-adapter-b/
Where did you get those replacements fittings from need to do mine don’t know where to start.
Heres a couple of links that may help... they are both out of stock right now, guessing due to the state of the world at the moment. E-bay may be a good place to look as well.

Can you send me the link so I can buy that part I wanted to do that to my hose
Anyone reading this from UK know where I can get these fittings that need to be 'cut in pool' cant seem to find any, I do have the adapters but would prefer the full 1 /12 or 38mm openings
I seached the Amazon Uk site an found this listing "Intex 126003 Connector Set, Diameter 38 mm"I don't know if the parts are truly available in the UK, but maybe this will help.
www.amazon.co.uk/Intex-126003-Connector-Set-Diameter-38-mm/dp/B00WWA0S8A/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?keywords=Intex+connectors+Fittings+Set&qid=1555548962&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr1
Hi I bought the Intex Hydro Aeration 38mm with plunger valves on eBay, it was a German company and they delivered to UK in less than a week
I've looked everywhere for those 1 1/2" fittings. No one has them in stock. Where did you buy yours from?
I purchased my set from amazon, but they seem to be hit and miss on availability.
The second option i would look around on would be E-bay, I've seen them there as well.
@@Yellowdogsworld thank you
I have the Same Project.
But with a bestway Pool.
Whats your experience, is it 100% tight?
Best regards from Germany.
Dennis
yes, no leaks.
I haven't had any issues with this setup so far.
I’m very scared to try this . I have a Coleman powersteel 16x10x48 oval pool the liner is a different type of material do u approve of this method for that ? Please help 😂❤
**edit**
they are intex, $60 per unit though lol damn. Do they come with the lock nut and gaskets? or are those another purchase somewhere?
where did you purchase the inlet ports? I can't find them on amazon or intex, assuming they're intex at all. I have an 18' pool with the intex 3000GPH sand filter pump, but the inlets for the pool are tiny and need cut out, but I can't find the inlets. If you could help that'd be awesome
Apparently the source on amazon I purchased from is no longer available, i did however find on the Intex site under one of their larger pools all the parts listed individually you would need for the pool inlet / outlet.
www.intexcorp.com/replacement-parts/above-ground-pools/ultra-frame/20ft-x-48in/2018/26303eh/pump/
Price wise its seems more reasonable, hope this helps.
Well crap, did a little more clicking and it comes up unavailable :(.
Hi there!
Did you run into any problems later on?
Nope, its been working like a champ :)
Just purchased the same pool and the pump is weak. Now I have get to a sand filter and cut hole bigger for the larger line. Prolly just get the 3000 GPH pump.
If it were available I would have just got
the XTR instead. It comes with the 1200 GPH sand pump so I would have to change it too. 1200 seems undersized also.
yea, 1200 GPH is not much better, they really do undersize the pumps in my opinion.
Did you purchase the 3000 GPH sand filter/pump? And if so, did you end up cutting the liner to fit the larger inlet attachment or did you use the original inlet kit that came with the 1000 GPH pump? I'm nervous about cutting the liner. But i'm also concerned that the pump is too strong for the smaller inlet kit...
@@ssmm7335
I did buy the 3000 gph pump after purchasing the pool, and had to cut the liner to fit the outlet and inlet. I didn't try running this pump with the 1.25 fittings. Honestly, since the 1.25 hose's clamp-on I wouldn't trust the lines to stay connected with the higher volume. Now like I said in my video, I don't recommend anyone do what I did for liability reasons, but I've seen a lot of comments saying they've done the same thing without any issues.
Did it today success
Cool, :)
How did you keep the water in while you did the cut?
I had it drained down below the port :)
Where did you buy the part that goes in the pool?
if you search on Amazon
( Intex 1.5 Inch Above Ground Pool Inlet & Outlet Strainer Fittings Set )
you should see them, this is what i ordered.
I'm trying to get this conversion but I just can't find the parts you used, not either from intex website. do you have any other source ?
It seems all the usual sources like amazon, wallmart and even the INTEX website are making acquiring the parts needed difficult. Im not sure why, the prices and availability were not nearly as bad when I bought them than they are today. I have seen most of the items on E-Bay.. ya just need to do some looking around. Sorry I could not be of anymore help.
@@Yellowdogsworld I guess they came out with those kind of fittings that you use with the 1.25 and convert to the 1.5 the very short ones, but it looks like it will have a restriction somehow, I will try to look around and see if I found any and I will post them, so you end up having 2 strainers and the output and 1 nozzle ? or the nozzle came with the pump ?
when i ordered the bigger pump it came with the output nozzle sized for the pump. I ended up with an extra 1.5 pool fitting, I still have it along with other bits and pieces in a box somewhere.
Doing kinda the same, going to use the 1 1/4 " to 1 1/2 " intake adapters, but would like to use a 1 1/2" tee for the 2 intake hoses and than the 1 1/2 " hose to the pump. Did you make one, buy one. How do you screw the 3 1 1/2 " hoses to a tee?
Here is the link to the second video where I make the Tee Fitting and finish the installation.
ua-cam.com/video/G85ekIbGmI0/v-deo.html
Hope this helps
Did you end up taking the composite boards out from under the pool legs?
No, they are still there. Working out very well.
@@Yellowdogsworld were they just a 1×4 and if so did you dig out a spot for each leg or was that minor added thickness not necessary?
they were the 1 x 6 composite decking boards. I did not have to dig out for them. They just made a bigger foot printer for the legs so they are less likely to sink over time into the ground.
do you still need chlorin when you have the sand filter pump?
yep sure do,
Adding a salt water system to this pump would keep you from using chlorine, however on a pool with steel tubing like the one here, its not a good idea as it will rot the tubes pretty quickly.
yes lol sand filter will not prevent algae build up, you have to use chemicals to keep the pool water stabilized. The poster of the video doesn't seem to reply to his followers, so I'm not expecting an answer on my question. But yes you need chlorine, pH increaser, pH decreaser, muriatic acid, all that good stuff if you want to do it right.
Situated illness,
I did reply to your question, I do work a full time job with a family, you tube is a hobby for me not a job. Sometimes I miss a question and there are times when I just don't have a good answer, or am just to tired.
I have everything I need. I just can't find the strainer grid that's 1.5 inch where did you get that ?
If your referencing the 1.5 in intake "strainer" that appears to be the only part that's hard to come by right now. I placed 2 links in the description for where what I could find.. but at the moment even they are out of stock.
@@Yellowdogsworld I can't believe that the strainer is where I'm gonna be stumped I guess I have to revert to the 1.5 valve to the 1.25 for a stupid strainer lol
Ben, I'm at a loss as well.. I wish I knew where you could find one, however yours and my internet are the same place, I cant find a good source right now either.
@@Yellowdogsworldscrew it I went from my 1.5 inch coming from the sand filter and reduced it down to 1.25 for now I did not want to do it but I have no choice eventually I guess the strainer will be in stock and I'll lower the water in the pool and install it correctly thank you bro for your help 👍
@@Yellowdogsworld I just bought 2 from eBay they were finally available at 70 BUCKSSS 😬 a piece.... talk about price gauging they know what's in high demand so they jack up the price for a friggen 5 dollar part 😠😠😠😠
Where did you get the 1.5 inch assembly and how much did you pay?
I ordered a kit from amazon that had both intake and return 1.5 in.
I'm not sure if the same combination is still available, but both parts I'm sure you can still find.
Believe it or not they are very hard to find the full set of them should be around 30 dollars. There so hard to find that people are selling on piece for 60 dollars. Thank you though
wow... my guess, its like a lot things made in china right now... if they are hard to come buy, up goes the price :(
Oh where did you order the pump from? I am doing the exact thing you are with my 15ft pool
I ordered it from amazon, came with the 1 inlet, 1 outlet and the 2 hoses.
And he wears 🕶 😎 🎉
Or did you skip the strainer grid to connect the vacuum hose? That's the only confusion I have
The intake has a strainer built into it, I removed mine with a band saw, but I'm sure a regular handheld hack saw will do just fine.
Your awesome dude you answered so quick
So the strainer that comes with the pool would fit the 1.5 inch valve
If they are 1.5 inch to start with then I don't see why not, if they are 1.25 then no.
If I don't have the strainer grid the 1.5 valve is useless where do I attach it to coming from the inside of the pool.
where did u buy the 1.5" valves ? I need to do what you did...
here is the fittings i ordered off amazon.

Thank you for the info did you have to buy two Sets since it seems that once it comes with an intake in and out take and you’re looking replace two intakes? I am looking to do the same thing but need to just get only the intakes like you have
@@marybethg5505
I bought one set, since I purchased a larger pump at the same time, it came with its own set. So w/o the upgraded pump I guess you would end up buying 2 sets and have a spare. You may want to search E-bay, sometimes you can find the individual parts cheaper, and get just what you need.
I watched your video 4 years ago and was able to do it on the outflow only because I couldn't find the part. Now we have a new pool and I can't find the part. Any idea on where to get them at.
Thank you!
Here is a list from my latest video I did last season with all parts I used. I hope some of the links are still good and maybe help you in finding what you need…

Have you experienced any leaks?
Not so far :)
never peroleum will eat up gasket and fast . silicone lube leslies has. and could have easily converted to 1.5 sch 40 pvc with two female adapters
Yep, I hear ya on the silicone.. learned that after shooting the video.
you could have just converted the dual intakes to a single 1.5 inch with a t-joint
Yea I know, I just bought the sanitary T because I thought it looked cooler :)
Can I just use one ☝️ intake ?
Sure you can, that's how I started out :)
2:34 to get to fitting.
Thanks for the inspiration! You saved my summer! BTW, these are good fittings if you would like to change: ua-cam.com/video/WnoPsn48LJk/v-deo.html
Cool glad i could help, also I appreciate the shout out.
I may have to look into those valves as the intex ones are kinda of cheep :)
My wife is convinced the current lack of available 1 1/2” intakes is part of the business plan of The Poly Group the parent company of ALL THESE SOFT SIDE POOL manufacturers. This line of pumps work great just not with the pools of the same name. I expect PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE with anything associated with Intex OR POLY GROUP PLASTIC.
That could very well be true.. they have a good product that works.. so gotta get ride it in place of something new..LOL
