    Intex Pump Modification

    Well I tried the groove but it has to be recessed more for the hose to slip over but I was afraid to go deeper because I may cut through the pipe...anyway I replaced the PVC pipe with a new 1" threaded male to 1" slip...the 1" threaded goes to the pump...and I put the hose over the 1" pipe added...

    Charlie... Yes I have a dremel tool although it might be hard to get the groove straight...I have the o-ring from an old filter casing...I find PVC 3/4 inch fittings and PVC 1 inch pipe to be the right dimension for putting hose ends on...the tube idea is good one too...It got exhausting trying...

    It makes a little noise I put a valve in between pump and filter cartridge...it didn't make a difference though I noticed when I shut off pump and open the air release it lets out air and then the water starts flowing It's strange when I open air release with pump running water does not flow out...
