I need help in what I can do for adaptations for my fittings for a summer waves sand filter pump to a Intex pool. My inlet/outlet holes are to small.

You'll need to replace your fittings and hoses with 1.5 in fittings. Here is what I'm using when I decide to change mine
You'll need three of these -- two inlets and one outlet
One of these for your outlet, where the water comes back into the pool
Two of these for the inlets, where the water leaves the pool going to the filter
Three of these, to reduce the 1.5 fittings to 1.25 fittings
You only need these if you don't have 1.5 in hoses for the filter.
There are videos on YouTube that show how to put in the new fittings. Basically you use one of the new gaskets as a guide, mark around the hole in the middle of the gasket, cut the hole, then fasten on the first fitting. Everything else screws into the first fitting.
Take your time, measure three or four times before you cut, and be courageous.
Good luck to you and me!
