My husband and I are curious about hard plumbing our pool. We have a 22x52 Intex metal frame pool with dual inlets, ano Intex sand filter and swg. Does anyone have a step by step guide to it?

Hi there, there are a few threads on it if you do a search I found some doing a search. Fwiw. It looks like it's as simple as ordering the new inlet from amazon (link below) and using the gasket as a guide to make your cuts, cutting out the old inlets and replacing with the Hayward. The only thing I haven't been able to find in my searches is if anyone is putting some kind of a strainer guard on the new inlets like the ones that are on the stock intex so no ones hair or anything gets sucked into them. I couldn't find a guard on amazon or anywhere to order so I'm assuming ppl just are leaving themselves with a large hole.
