Hello everyone,

I just bought a new Intex Ultra frame AGP 18'x52" with a sand filter here it is: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05202287000P

I want to set up mine the exact same way as other have here, hard pluming, do you have sizes, pictures and any other ways so I can do it, I want to get rid of the flimsy tubes for PCV and get this skimmer http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DP ... PDKIKX0DER

I have pm'd several people here but get no response, do I need to join and donate for that, if so I can.

these are the set ups I want to do for my pool, but I have no clue what size PCV pipes, lenghts and how best to place the skimmer above, any help or direction would be so apreciated, here are the set ups I want to do







Any and all help, thanks so much

PM's are not the best way to get answers. POsting on the forum is the best way.

You're not required to donate to get answers but I encourage you to consider it as donations are what funds the site administration (of course I work for free ).

There are a lot of Intex users here and someone will come along and help.

Thanks,

I will donate

I don't know much about the Intex, so will leave that to others.

Just wanted to point out if you do become a member, be sure to use your discount on the TF100 test kit so you are ready to go when your pool is set up
