    Installing a skimmer in my Intex 15'x42"

    Yeah, next time I have it uncovered I'll turn it on. A note though, once you cut the Intex liners and install the skimmer or standard pool fittings, you CANNOT take it down again. The liner will stretch and tear. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Yeah, the pool is a little off level. By no more than an inch! Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Installing a skimmer in my Intex 15'x42"

    Well, I finished finally. Skimmer ended up being a little crooked when finished, but it works great! Decided to run 1.5" PVC from the pool, and then used hoses to do all of the pump and filter connections. I need to add another return jet, as I have massive pressure coming from the pump now...

    Installing a skimmer in my Intex 15'x42"

    Re: Installing a skimmer in my Intex 15'x42" Any suggestions on plumbing? I was going to do all 1.5" rigid pvc, but now am thinking about using some flexible pvc coming off of the pool... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    I don't currently have a through the wall skimmer, so this cut will be completely brand new. That's why I'm nervous. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    Installing a skimmer in my Intex 15'x42"

    Hi all. First time poster, long time reader. I have an Intex 15'x42" metal frame pool, this is the 3rd year of operation. Took down during the winter after the first year, left up year round after last season. I'm getting ready to switch my pump filter situation from stock over to a 1hp pump...
