Intex Pool Skimmer Installation Hayward 

Wow thanks. Yea. I was confused by other vids so I made this one.

Well I kinda explained. It doesn’t really hurt to have them if you can close them off. Also I believe the older inlets that are more under the water could be good for cloudy water.

@@Kazerone1 this is absolutely correct, a skimmer would work 5 times SLOWER at keeping water clear that might end up getting algae then inlets lower in the water. And of course 2 is better than 1. This is the reason inground pools have floor drains. I mean, why not have more options, why limit yourself?

@@mmafighter1181989 It was a fair question, but I agree with you.

@@Kazerone1 You are right! Skimmer 'skims' surface bugs, pollen floating matter. The outlets allow the sand filter to pull in cloudy/particles deeper in the water. You really need both for a crystal clear pool

Yea I probably uses less but it’s not as powerful either.

Thanks for the comment. Glad I could help a bit!

No problem. Glad I could help a bit!

So that one was no good? You can try a bit of Teflon tape and see if that helps.

@@Kazerone1 so I bought the adapter you recommended, POOLCOMFT. The only difference is I’m using the Intex brand 1.5” plunger valve instead of the pool hacker plunger valve. Still doesn’t fit. You might want to notate that somewhere. I guess I will get the pool hacker plunger valve, but there should be no reason for me to do that since they’re both 1.5”

Yes I know some people do use regular PVC. I thought about it and if the hoses fail I might go that route.

Yes. The pump isn’t overly powerful. The pool included the robot and the pump and so far it delivers enough power for it to climb the walls. But I know what you mean.

It’s not too bad. You can do it. Most important is to have all the parts. Everyone is worried about the cutting part. I think we overthink it because it’s probably the easiest part!

Yes. They don’t but I’ve had these parts leak because of probably less than perfect manufacturing.
