Thanks to some awesome ideas and plans from you guys i'm about start an extreme makeover on an intex pool like never seen on this forum. I cant stand how the ultraframe pool looks so I'm wrapping the frame with bamboo fencing, hard-plumbing the filters using methods in this forum, and adding a pool Nanny cam. I will photo document the project and give lists of parts throughout the project

Is that your filtration and chlorination? I like your adapting the Intex to the inline chlorinator. Not a fan of the undersized cartridge filter. Way to much maintenance required with those filters since they are so small. Can't wait to see the pool wrapped up in bamboo I was thinking of doing the same to mine. Do you take your pool down for winter?
I am upgrading from an inflatable 15 ft intex to the 16 ft ultra frame. this filter vortexes a 15 ft x48 ft and is rated at 2500 gph its not the 1500. I figure use it since i already have it. Also i have tons of pictures to show more progress however i guess i'm at my max for pictures here. whats a recommended place to archive pictures so i can post here. I will be posting the parts list via lowes recipt for fittings. I don't plan on taking it down at all once its up in Southern Louisiana it seldom gets below freezing
I just use photobucket and use a pubic album with posted link. You will find alot of useful info here. I upgraded my filter/pump to the intex sand. best thing I ever did. that chlorinator use the pucks? if so do you do a drain and fill every season?
Here is a Photo of the Liner fittings for the intex 2500 gph and the smaller ones are for the a type A small canaster filter by intex to run a fountain on. the hose clamps slide on the small end and the other end is set to receive 1 1/2 pvp pipe
