Very nice work!

Just wanted to finally post back a message along with a picture on my conversion from intex soft hose to pvc hard pipe. I was able to get the skimmer installed and even have plans to run a "fountain" off of the return line

Thanks for everyone's help with my many questions!

What fittings did you use to connect directly to the original Intex inlet and oulet tubes? Oh, how I wish I had a listing of what you did here. I love how it looks, and trying to figure it out is making my brain have a meltdown. I am trying to upgrade from my original Intex's 18x52 pump to a Pentair Sandollar SD60+Dynamo 1.5HP pump, add a Hayward skimmer, fountain, and vacuum; and I am soooo lost. My husband passed away in September and I am trying to do this all by myself. I probably need to start a new thread...
