I have this exact same question! Except, I have a 14x48 Ultra Frame (from 2011, I believe). I can't even find a 14x48 liner. I don't want to trash the pool, seems so wasteful, but what else can I do? Anyone put a liner that was too wide or too narrow on their pool? I think there is a 15x48.

All is well... the new pump is running (leak free) with Home Depot sand.. took about two weeks to open after sitting all winter. Skimmer and vacuum both work so much better! Although, when I hookup the vacuum, it seems like the pump loses pressure and gets air in it (even though I get all the...

Thank you so much! I used this to successfully upgrade to the 2650!! :)

I found this thread. Hopefully, this solves my issue.

Pump is running - no leaks! However, I have a NEW problem.. how are we supposed to hook up the backwash hose to the threaded drain.. Intex.. always another problem <sigh>. Thanks for all the info!
