Can I convert Intex vacuum for Coleman Power Steel pool?

[kdkeldavis]

Any ideas how I can make my Intex vac work w/ my new Coleman pool? I looked at the Bestway Corp site and their vac looks pretty cheap - but I could be wrong. I like the Intex which uses a blue adaptor to screw onto the inlet. The Coleman pool inlet is not threaded (at least not that I can tell). Thank you!

Does your Coleman pool have those two grey covers inside the pool? If you remove the tiny screw, the grey cover is threaded and it comes off. Then screw the blue Intex adapter on it and voila! I just bought the Intex skimmer and pool maintenance kits myself.

How does this work if you have two intakes? Do you block one while you use the vac? This is what I am looking at on Amazon, is that what you are talking about? Amazon.com : Intex 28003E Deluxe Pool Maintenance Kit for Above Ground Pools : Swimming Pool Maintenance Kits : Garden & Outdoor

Yes, the kit comes with little plugs with a small hole inside. You put one plug in, and this allows the other intake to provide all the suction.
