As stated in my install thread, I used a Game A2656 40MM X 1-1/2 Short Adapter for the Intex hose hookup. ( https://www.amazon.com/Intex-Soft-Side-Short-Connection/dp/B004GE6OQA ).Hi Dom
After reading what you said about why you didn't hard plumb your pool because when you are in it, it's always moving made me think. The kids get that pool moving so much I end up always having to tell them to be a bit more careful. So makes me really think. What did you use to connect your intex hose to the skimmer? That's the only thing I don't know how to do. I can connect to it hard plumb but scratching my head when it comes to connecting the hose. Thanks again Dom for all your great advise.
Mike
