Intex pipes to Hayward Pump

[Rack1988]

Does anyone know what kind of fittings I would need to buy to change my Intex pump to a Hayward Power Flo Matrix pump? My current pump is less than 1 horsepower and I want to upgrade so I can get an automatic vacuum. I want to use my existing tubing which is the 32 mm or 1.25 inch fittings. It looks like the union for the Hayward pump is a glue type piece on one end and the other end screws onto the pump itself. Any suggestions would be great!

For the price of the new pump, you could probably get a robot which doesn't need the pump to run.

You can use one of these with a few other 1.5" fittings/couplers.

Thanks! Not sure what the robot is? I want to get a auto vacuum and my pump can't handle that..Do you mean robot vaccuum?

Will it work in a vinyl above ground pool? Some that have been recommended to me say not for soft side pools?
