Has anyone added an additional return and/or intake to their steel sided AGP?

I just got one, and want to basically add a vaccum port intake into the pool, as well as potentially a 2nd return for better water churn.

I definitely will drain the water below the area I want to cut, as I dont want any water to get between the inside of the steel wall and the liner. BUT the struggle I have is what to cut the steel with, to avoid as little burring / small metal fragments as possible. Any ideas? So far anything i've thought up with the exception of tin snips has some sort of metal fragments involved.

I'd love to hear what others have done. Thank You!

A hole saw with someone running a shopvac while cutting should work the best.. tin snips would also work but not as easy :)


I have a vinyl pool and put new holes in..
