Well I finally fiqured out a way to easily PVC plumb my Intex Ultra frame pool. Then I added a 20' Eco Saver Solar Panels. The water is great and it's finally done. Looking at some of the posts about PVC/Intex connectors, it seem to me not as good as it could be, this is what I did.
From Home Depot, I used the 1-1/2 to 1-1/4 reducer bushing and sanded down the flange face so it was smooth and glued on the the Intex pool return fitting face to give me a sealing surface and another one on an 1-1/2 elbow with the Intex nut between them, put on a gasket and screwed them together works like the factory fitting just in PVC. So I went a little with the PVC and plumbed a Solar panel and all is good. The temp. hovers around 83 degrees from the usual 72 degrees in the am.
