I don't know much about intex proprietary parts, but adapting should be easy if the hose size is close. Also look at this old thread http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/7837-Intex-1000-GPH-pump-vs-2500-GPH-is-like-night-and-day

If the 633 you are buying comes with the larger ports for your pool, yes, you can use it. Check my signature line.....
You will need to cut the smaller ports out to install the larger, but this is not a problem if you take your time and use a very sharp utility knife (new blade).
I would also suggest you purchase the Unicel 5315 cartridge from Amazon.com for this pump. Much better than the Intex stock filter.
Edit: I just checked your link to the Amazon pump.....Look a little more, you can find one that comes with the ports and hoses for only a little more $$. You will need them for the pump to work with your pool.
Another note...since i am assuming your pool is filled, you can circulate the water for dosing your pool with whatever moves the water while you are waiting for the new pump to arrive.

os so I looked and found this....is this what I would also need since it doesn't seem like it comes with it http://www.amazon.com/Conversion-Ad...827&sr=1-2&keywords=intex+1+1/2+inch+adapters and I have a vaccum I just bought and it fits fine on the inlet of the pool,it has a screw cap that goes on the inlet and you just push the hose onto it....let me guess it wont work with this huh I can add a pic later if I need to heres a link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SQ6HMQ/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Why not? I did, and so have many others here.
Look through this album. I'm sure you'll see that it's alright to modify your pool. Photobucket album.
Also,you can search the forms for more of the same.

Sorry, didn't see that post....
The adapters have a nasty habit of leaking a little, and then popping off.
For your cleaning needs, your local hardware or big box store will have the vacuum head, hose, pole, etc of much better quality than the Intex deluxe kit, for about the same total cost.

ok cool.....can anyone point me to a site or link showing some intakes and outlets that would fit those fittings ? and my vaccum hose line is smaller then that 1 1/2 inch fitting....not sure how to fix that,the connecter to it is the size of the hose to a much larger size...id have to take a pic of it to show you guys
If you are wanting to stay with the Intex hoses, you don't have much of a choice.
Here is an Amazon search for the wall fittings. These have both sizes of threads on the pool inside, so the parts that fit the small fittings will still work.
On the outside, You will need the plunger valves, and the large hoses for the 633 pump. As I noted earlier, there are some of these on amazon that have the pump/filter, hoses, valves, and wall fittings.

One thing I've learned about Amazon.com: If it isn't in the item description and/or package contents, you won't get it. That particular pump you linked to doesn't say anything about having the needed accessories.
When I bought mine, I saw the one you had linked, but continued looking, and for a few $$ more, the items were in the description.

ok ill look more Charlie.....mind me asking when I get all this here and am ready to cut the larger hole are there any tips for that or how to make a better connection to the pool or anything? btw I added this to cart and seems like everything doesn't it? http://www.amazon.com/Intex-2500-Ga...sr=8-2&keywords=intex+2500+gallon+filter+pump
Saw that, but Amazon is usually good about making sure what is in the description is in the box. Note also that review is actually for a different seller. CMS instead of Windy City Superstore. I think you will be OK with it.
thanks again Charlie for the help, I ordered it and cant wait....any tips on installing it or cutting the holes?
