Completed hard piping Intex pool (pics)

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone on this website who helped inspire me to upgrade my Intex 14X42 pool.
Parts I used:
Intex 2650 sand filter
1.5" Intex Inlet and strainer
Intex plunger valves
Hayward 1091LX skimmer.

My pool originally had the pump and hoses facing towards my deck, but I ran a new electrical outlet to the opposite side of the pool by my fence so you cannot see any hoses or equipment, I ran 1/2 PVC underground from the fence to under my deck where I had existing power.

The skimmer was nerve racking to install, but it came out great, and no leaks.

I now have a crystal clear pool.

Thanks.
Also forgot to mention I did make up the box adaptor connections to attach to the plunger valves, and to the pump.
I did not use any unions, but in one location, below the skimmer, I did use no-hub coupling for easy removal. Also I think it adds a little cushioning and play for the skimmer to move a little when the pool is in use. I think if left rigid, it would put some strain on the liner with a lot of movement.

Very nicely done! Hard plumbing is so much better.
