Adding an inlet and outlet valve to Intex 15ft prism frame pool.

[Joshvs]

Hi everyone. I am not sure where to post this as I am completely new to the community.

I purchased my first Intex pool about 2 weeks ago and I need some advice.

I’m from South Africa and the Intex pools only have one inlet and outlet valve installed in the pool when purchased.

I have seen that most US pool have 2 inlets and one outlet to help with better filtration.

My question is, is it possible for me to add another inlet valve to a pool that is not equipped for it from factory?
Can I add both a secondary inlet and outlet, or only the inlet.
And if this is possible, how do I actually do it without damaging the pool or compromising the structural integrity of the pool itself and it’s liner.

Thank you in advance.

I honestly don’t know if it provides better filtration- in America it is set up that way because of our laws, only having one wall inlet is an entrapment hazard.
That said, many here have cut in skimmers & returns in their intex pools without issues.
