Hi all, I could use some help here. I've done a lot of searching, reading and watching but still a can't exactly figure out how to get these two to work together. I recently bought a Intex 15'x48" and an Intex SF70110-2 sand filter/pump (2800GPH) to replace the cartridge filter/pump the pool came with. The pool has two 1.25" outlets and the pump uses one 1.5" hose. I've seen the 1.25 to 1.5 hose adapters (link) that can convert the two outlets on my pool but I would still need more 1.5" hose and T connector right? With this size pump and flow rate will the original 1.25" fittings be large enough to provide enough water to not starve the pump?
I already plan on cutting out the larger opening in the pool for the 1.5" Hydro Aeration inlet that came with the pump, so I'm ok with cutting larger openings (fingers crossed). Would it be better to cut in new larger outlet strainers as well for flow? If so what Intex parts are those? Is there another brand that will work? I'd still need a T connector and more hose to join them right?
Sorry, so many questions, but I'm very frustrated with all of this.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
