Ok. Had an old 633 pump that pumps waaaaay better than the stock pump included with pool (think that is Intex's way to make more money: they sell these pools as big as 20+ feet but don't include their big pumps so you have to buy a new one from them...)
Anyway, want to hard plumb so I get better suction, better return and durability. Plus, the return hose developed a small pin hole that sprays under pressure and to replace with exact hoses is more expensive than pvc plumbing!
My problem: the filter pump has those weird 1/2 to 3/4 threaded conector. The pump's hoses and connection are 1.5". How do I connect the pvc to the filter pump?
Thanks for the help.
I will post some pics soon, but I'm hoping the pros who have already done this can answer without pictures.
