Thanks for the bump kimkats. I guess no one has found a direct replacement. Why should Intex sell a replacement switch for a few bucks when they can just sell you a whole new pump? For temporary I connected the switch wires with a jumper and am using the GFI on the end of the cord for a...

Hello all, Many thanks for all the great info here, absolutely a gold mine of knowledge. Set up a 12' Intex for my son in 2016. After lurking and reading a bunch here, replaced the goofy cartridge filter/pump with a 14" Intex sand filter, 1650 pump, and a separate SWG unit. Awesome crystal clear...

Great job! Sometimes when you need it done right you just have to do it yourself. :-) That is exactly what I am looking for here: http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/113715-Through-the-pool-wall-fittings-question-threaded-inside Now I know how to make it happen. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the input. Does anyone know for sure if Intex and Bestway fittings are interchangeable?

Thank you both for the replies. Going to go with the Bestway from Costco because it's $150 less than the best price I can find on an Intex Ultra frame. I will definitely be running my existing Intex sand filter and SWG. Still wondering if the Intex and Bestway fittings are both 40mm with same...

Hello, Finally going from lurking and learning to posting. Sincere thanks for all I have learned here, very very helpful. After a few inflated ring Intex pools as our little one grows up, we are going to make the next step to a 9x18. I already have an Intex sand filter and SWG so what comes...
