Sure thing. I also highly recommend installing the 1.5" ball valves at the skimmer, inlet and outlet. They are much better than plunger valves from intex. You'll have to make the Intex to PVC adapter for the inlet/outlet though using a PVC bushing and also cut some gaskets out of gasket...

Here are a few photos. I cut my liner when the pool was 2' filled. Make sure the gasket is flush with the liner in between the gasket flaps. Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2

I just put in a Hayward standard thru-wall skimmer (SP1091LX DYNA-SKIM) in my 18'x48" Ultra Frame. It's nice because it has a butterfly gasket and did not leak at all. I left the original intake hooked up and put ball valves at both the skimmer and old intake. They come together at the pump...

Forgive my ignorance as I am not a plumber, but when you apply the pipe dope to the threaded connection, can you still unscrew the adapter to winterize the pump/filter?

Thanks for the reply. Everything turned out great.

Last year I had a small Intex Easy Set and knowing I would be upgrading this year, I purchased and hooked up a Hayward 1HP 16" Sand Filter. The filter was winterized and is already loaded with sand. On to this year we have set up an Intex Ultraframe 18' x 48" pool. I have made all of the...

Since the pool is going up today, I will install this when there is about 2' of water in the pool. With that in mind, will the water pressure from filling the pool stretch the liner around the gasket cutout? I just want to make sure that I do not cut out too much liner on the brand new pool :)

I will be installing a Hayward thru-wall skimmer on a 18'x48" Intex Ultraframe today. I have a question on gasket placement for this install. The gasket is a double gasket with a cavity in between each side of the gasket. According to the instructions, the complete gasket is to be installed...

OK thanks. If I still have trouble, perhaps I can simply get the package file from you. Thanks again.

Thank you for the information.

I will be putting up an Intex Ultraframe tomorrow and will be running a Hayward 1HP/16" Sand Filter along with the Intex SWG. On the Intex SWG guide, it states to keep the CYA at 30ppm. However in the Water Balance for SWG article, it states to keep CYA between 70 and 80ppm. That is more than...
