My wife and I have the Intex B15' x 48" model pool. We're using the Krystal Clear Model 633T Filter Pump, which I realize is oversized for this size pool, but sure keeps the water clear. I'm wondering if there is an adjustable inlet nozzle that will fit the male threads on the inside wall of this model pool. Intex sells an adjustable inlet nozzle for 18' diameter pools, and larger, but I suspect it is a larger diameter than what I need...part #11074. Maybe an after market brand? Thanks.

The best thing you can do is to get a Hayward Dyna-Skim, which will come with a Hayward adjustable return eyeball and a vacuum adapter plate as well. You'll have to cut out the existing return port to fit the 1.5" Hayward, but that won't be any big deal to you after you've already cut the huge hole in the wall of your brand new pool for the skimmer.

I did this very thing in this thread: Dimension at the ground for Intex 16' Ultra frame pool.
It really is a nice upgrade. You'll have to stack an extra washer to the Intex hose or valve that attaches to the Hayward eyeball to keep it from leaking. But other than that, it's easy peasy.

Wow. I have no idea what you thought I was asking for. This is what I need, but I think this size is too big for my size pool. : Adjustable Pool Inlet Nozzle - Intex
Cutting? No cutting done here.

LOL! Keep reading this site and you will be modding your pool in no time!
You are still working with the 1.25” fittings? Unfortunately, I have never seen an adjustable nozzle for the smaller fittings.
Yep, that's the situation. I guess I'd have to cut out both inlet and outlet pieces that are built into the pool, replace with larger diameter ones, replace the hoses...What a pain.
It really only takes a minute. No longer than it would take you to draw a circle.
I have the same pool and just used a pvc pipe to give it a little more down and side flow.

I tried the pvc elbow, and it worked for about 3 seconds before the force of the water pushed the entire assembly into the middle of the pool. The plastic piece that fits in the pool wall slid out taking the inlet cover with it.
