    How do I plumb my Stenner pump into my soft pvc return hose?

    This is the part that I haven't really thought of per my build...

    2 inch pipe on an Intex Pool

    I was wondering would there be a problem if I used 2 inch hose to plumb my intex pool. The usual size is the 1 1/2 inch, but the suction and returns I just installed, are all 2 inches, so instead of reducing everything down to 1 1/2, is this plausible/safe? My pump and cartridge come with both...

    Intex Plunger Valves - What's The Deal?

    Just received my intex pool yesterday and unlike my old bestway pool, it came with plunger valves..... Now I've heard both good and bad things about them.... Bad being the air leaks and cracking and not sealing..... My new pool has two intake valves that are just the plastic stumps.... I do...
