    So, the original set up was a standard 18x 48" vinyl pool with a intex 633T 2500gph pump., and we had a "Bestway 58304E, flowclear pool cleaner". It would attach to one of the smaller 1 1/4 outlets and we plug up the other,,and the vac would go about its business. So today,, i installed...

    Cutting larger holes in liner

    To cut the holes bigger we just used an exacto knife. We also just bought 2 extra rubber gaskets to go on the outside of the pool where the holes would be.

Granted...
