I want to replumb my equipment on my 24' above ground pool to 2" pvc. I was planning on using pump unions (are they 2 or 2 1/2 inch?) on the equipment, only problem is the filter has the male external threads on the return and waste ports but only 1.5 inch female internal threads on the pump port. One of the attached images shows a fitting on that port with the pump union threaded to that but I can not seem to figure out what adapter that is. Or am I thinking it wrong and don't want to use pump unions at all of the equipment fittings?
Can't figure out what adapter I need for this fitting on my sand filter

Looks like they might have used something like THIS in that photo. That's not to say you have to do it the same way. You could use a simple (regular) threaded adapter just to get in the port and extend a few inches before connecting a conventional union to that.
Here is one example.

I was kinda thinking I might end up doing something along those lines. Thanks for the ideas and links.
