How to get intex auto vac to hook up to standard return jet?!!

[Chezzypotatoez]

is there a fitting that i can hook up to intex screw on couplers to a standard pool return…

bought both vacuums off Amazon to see if both are the same and they are. They have a 1.5 hose with an coupler that screws on and off to a black plastic coupler that screws on to intex return… i do not have a intex pool like to just use the little bugger to run around and clean the pool and not spend 400 bucks…

its like i need to fine a union that has threads on both ends i can screw into my jet and screw into that intex coupler

Thought about buying a intex return jet *shrug*

you might have to buy a return if you cant find something to use to just clamp the hose to your return somehow. I have an older intex and I think they may have even changed the return fittings because I couldn't use that lighter colored screen insert at all.

I just got one of these robots. You need these.The Game adapter will connect to a Hayward 1 1/2” return. Use a hose clamp to clamp your robot’s hose to the intex hose adapter.

Very curious as to the over all performance of the bot once you get it up and running.

I’ve had it for 2 weeks. It climbs the walls and really cleans the Pool well. Much better than our suction cleaner. I think the thing I like best is the skimmer is skimming while the robot is cleaning, being that it is a pressure side cleaner, so I get top and bottom cleaning done at the same time.My sand filter is staying cleaner too.

Your awesome thanks!!! So just dont use the white coupler on the hose pull it and attach it by hose clamp to the adapter you showed!

the only part that sucks is they only send a 21’ hose i have a 24’ pool i need to find a bigger hose or an extension

it may not go an extra 3 feet, but they do stretch quite a bit since they are running on water flowing out instead of suction. try it before you look for more parts.

Correct. Remove one of the white couplers from the hose, the side that will attach to your pool return, attach It to the hose adapter, and tighten it down with a hose clamp. I leave this on the end of the robot hose at all times. I lightly screw the Game adapter into the pool return, then attach the robot hose to that for use. You can probably use regular Pool vacuum hose to lengthen the white hose. You would need a barbed fitting and 2 hose clamps to marry the two. If you already have a long enough vacuum hose for your pool, you might be able to use that. Intex vacuum hose looks to be 1 1/4” to me. Regular vacuum hose is 1 1/2”.
