Intex 603 pump/filter to a 635t pump

[fosternom]

I need help guys!! I have the intex easy set pool that is 13' by 33 inches and the pump that came with it sucked. I bought the 635T pump (going from 530gph to 1500) and need help. Do I have to buy more parts? I know I do to connect the bigger hoses to the smaller ones..but besides that?? ALL ADVICE is appreciated!!

HI! YEAH on a bigger pump! That should move some water!

There is a search box at the top right of this page. It goes to only TFP posts/threads. See what you can find there. If you can't find it let us know and maybe someone can help.

Yes you may need the 1.25" to 1.5" hose adapters. INTEX 1.25" to 1.5" Type B Hose Adapters for Pumps & Saltwater System | Set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036WH9JO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_wUV4s3J6aS1M1

I have the 12' x 30" Intex and needed them. One attaches to the T on the intake and one will attach to the return line. (Unless you go with the larger return head). I went with the larger return head.(came with the pump). It required slight cutting, but if you go slow it's easy.

I ended up going with the 2500gph pump, so slightly bigger. In my opinion it was worth the extra $10, although I should have just upgrade to a sand filter...

So using the pump with old inlet will be okay??

Thanks for replying!! So, I can use my inlets already in use from my old pump and it will clean just as well?
