Anyone try the Hayward skimmer hack and cut in larger inlet/outlet ports on a Bestway Power Steel pool?

I am considering replacing my Intex 14X42 Ultra Frame pool because the liner is faded, and I can no longer replace just the liner because it was discontinued. I was contemplating getting another Intex, but I was considering the Bestway Power Steel series. Has anyone done a skimmer hack and inlet/outlet hacks on these pools? And is it similar to doing it on the Intex?

I have not done that hack but it is the same. Just use care-measure twice, cut once! Good luck!

I just did my power steel pool. I used chair leg bumpers from hardware store to seal off original ports. I pvc glued and clamped them. No leaks. Hayward return fit oem hole perfect. Skimmer install same as 3 other intex pools ive done.

Hope this helps you.

Nice, do you have more pics? Like inside the pool?

If you put Hayward parts in your extra ports, you can use a Hayward plug to close them.
