- In this video, I wanted to show you how I added PVC and hard plumbed my Intex pool. I have separate videos for all these additions, but wanted to put them all in one location.  So if you look into the description section of this video, I will have links to all the different parts that I added on my Intex pool.

I’ve had my Hayward skimmer on my pool for a year now and it is the best thing I have done to my pool. I don’t know why these intex pools don’t come with that. Those two little small holes in the side doesn’t filter anything. Thank you for that video.
I absolutely agree, these skimmers make the pool run so much better. Thank you for the comment I appreciate it
Great video, looking forward to seeing the new pool
Thank you Jeff I’m excited about it
I watch just about every pool video yt recommends me , like this just really short😢😅😅😅, like getting ideas from others
Moro no Brasil, é um calor, tenho uma piscina da intex de 16 mil litros, por aqui as pessoas não tem hábito de cortar a piscina para fazer adaptações.
As que fazem não colocam no UA-cam, você é top.
Muitas ideias boas.
Obrigado ❤
I didn’t level my ground to well and the water inlet to the pump isn’t under water. I tried to just run the line in from the top. But I’m not getting any suction to pull water out to the pump. Any ideas. Love your channel!
Unfortunately if it were me if it’s that far off I would drain and start over. If it’s not hitting the inlets, that means you are several inches off that would not be very good for the structure of the pool either. Again, just my opinion.
What kind of pool?
Mine is a 18’x52” intex
I come across your videos yesterday when I was searching for some ideas cause I’m switching to pvc cause I’m tired of the cheap hoses always leaking. I also added a skimmer like you did. So I subscribed cause you make some awesome videos. I have a question tho I put my skimmer in yesterday and my gasket sticks out just a hair around the inside like yours but it’s catches the flap door just a hair so it don’t just freely float in and out. Did you have to trim your gasket or just let it loosen up some over time ?
No mine did not rub. Do you think you would be able to trim it a little bit with a knife?
Also, I just made another video a few weeks ago on how I updated my new pool
Here’s the video for the new one

@@LifeLessOrdinary I may try to trim the gasket a little and see if that helps. I was just worried I would go to deep and cut the grove or seam of the gasket and it up just being a two piece gasket instead of the one piece. I watched your other video earlier which do you prefer the one with more flex or your original one ? Mines a 22 foot pool so I can actually tie my pvc from suction to the actual pool leg and not have to use a post for support. The way I was doing mine was almost like yours but the only actual pool hose that will be used is where it goes from the pump to the bottom of the skimmer other than that it will be all pvc
@landonmauldin42 I actually love the way I just did it with the flex just because my kids are so wild and crazy with the pool. But honestly, either way will work just fine. It’s just personal preference. As far as the gasket goes, I think you will be fine as long as the screws are nice and snug.
I'm getting the 18x52 with the sand filter. I think I'm just going to eliminate the two original filter inputs and add the skimmer. Does that pump have the power for the fountain?
Yes it will work just fine. I just control the water flow by adjusting the valve on the return 👍🏼
Quick question. I recently switched my hoses with a similar set up that you have using pvc, but now the pump seems to be getting air somewhere and the skimmer basket is not filling up all the way. Did this happen to yours by any chance. Thanks
Hmmmmm no, if nothing is leaking it doesn’t make sense that you would have air locked in there. Have you tried to bleed the air out by unscrewing the small cap on the first filter basket?
Im only using 1 side of the inlet so i can get more flow through the basket. Is that ok? Do you have the video where you did the plumbing with larger inlet fittings
Yes that won’t hurt anything 👍🏼
Is this Vevor the 3500GPH 1hp model? We have an 18ft and I’m thinking of upgrading from our SF80110-2 intex
Yes it is

Where did you get the 2"connectors for the backwash hose?
I cut mine from an old hose but these work perfect.

Would the 2” pvc work with less adapters to the intex hose? I did wonder if that would be to big as well.
My 18 x 52 Intex XTR ultra frame pool pump with sand filter is starting to make a lot of noise and leak.
I see you have an aftermarket sand filter and pump I'm trying to figure out if I should replace it with an Intex 14 in sand filter pump or if there is an upgrade what are your thoughts
I’ve always had really good luck with the intex sand filters. Vevor sent me this one to try that’s the only reason I did t use my intex this season. I’ve had no issues with it so far. But I am getting a new pool next spring and I will probably use the intex pump it comes with and keep this Vevor as a backup
@@LifeLessOrdinary thanks, I too have had very good luck with the Intex filters over the years.
I had a question for you, what does the inlet look like inside the pool? I am doing some hard plumbing on my pool but I don't want to just use the PVC as the vacuum ports, still want to add a skimmer to it
The water in your skimmer seems high. You may want to throttle the drains to get more flow through the skimmer, which typically get about 80% of the flow. You should have at least 20 GPM per skimmer.
We are running into some priming issues for ours. I did the same hard plumbing as you did but I have an upgraded 2hp pump and the same original filter. New sand this year and the clamp on skimmer. We will lose prime with 12 hrs. Any suggestions? Gonna try new sand again and if that doesn’t work, upgrade the filter size and skimmer to the in wall.
I’m happy I went with the wall skimmer that could be the problem. It works so much better then the floating skimmer
How do you like that vector pump? I just bought one
It’s a great pump I had no issues with it
What type of tablets do you use? I also have an above ground but what I heard is not to use reg chlorine but to use Di-chlor. You have had no problems putting the tablets in your skimmer without any straining?
I’ve had this pool for going in 5 years now and all I’ve used is 3” tablets with zero issues. I get my chlorine from Sams Club, I normally buy the big buckets it’s lots of money.
Great videos! The kids and I are planning on building your fountain and intake plumbing tomorrow. I see that you require the 1 1/2 to 40 mm adapters for the fountain… however, not for the intake plumbing hose. Is it not necessary for the 1 1/2 to 40mm adapters and I could possibly use pvc for the fountain?
Does Intex and Coleman have to same fittings and will this Vevor sand pump work with Coleman above ground pool
Yes Intex, Coleman and Bestway are all interchangeable
@@LifeLessOrdinary ok thank you
Is there something wrong with the pool? Do you want a bigger one? We have a intex and my neighbor is a plumber so we fully hard plumed it with no flex since it will Crack after 2 yrs, and we had a intex 2100, it worked great, but was not strong enough to keep out pool crystal clear, so we decided to upgrade to the 3000gph, which is a lot more flow, but, why are you getting a new pool new year exactly?
Pool is still working but is getting weathered pretty good. I just want a new one lol
Do you think the new Vevor filter works better over the Intex filter you had on before?
Hmmmmm no, I wouldn’t say better, but I would say so far comparable. I’m getting more flow with this, but this is also a stronger filter compared to the Intex that I had. The new one is a 16 inch my old Intex was a 14.
Wow no other chemicals? Do you ever test your levels just to see what they are at?
Nope maybe I’m just super lucky lol. But honestly over the last two years as long as it stays crystal clear and I can tell it’s chlorinated I don’t do anything to it. Just vacuum once a week and backwash.
Does the fountain help keeping the water cool on hot days
Absolutely 👍🏼
any hints on the new pool you're going to get?
It will be the same model is this current pool because I love it so much. And in my opinion, it’s probably the best Intex pool they make of this style.
Mine is the 18’x52”
Do you use heat pump?
Unfortunately I dont have one
@@LifeLessOrdinary im from Dallas, TX.. did you apply for permit for your pool and deck?
@LazyTinya I’m in a small town they don’t require any permits for pools or decks.
@@LifeLessOrdinary Thank you Sir!!!
@@LifeLessOrdinary your videos are great and really helpful…
What is the benefit of the pvc plumbing? I don’t see a difference
Summer heat will crack the ribbed piping it comes with. I am hard plumbing mine this year (finally) and I have had my pool since Summer 2020. (just my opinion).😊
Took the words right out me typing lol. Yes the original hose that comes with the pool is cheap and just hangs on the side. I wanted something strong that will last. 👍🏼
Permanent above ground pools are better
Much more money but yes they are good
@@LifeLessOrdinary the pump and filter system works well with hard side up pools and I think it’s a self priming pump to
agreed but we paid $500 for this sized pool and i only half to maintain it half the year. 😂
These pools can literally be just as good if they’re taken care of
Please help me man I got FaceTime had a 20ft pool before my wife stabbed it she wanted a inground pool I got my daughter a 12ft pool for this summer the connection are trash will poor a slab next year
Get a new wife.
But much of that is not hard plumbing, it's flex hose.
Correct I use both
