Need help for tight space

[steve.moped]

Hello,
I recently purchased a home and they built a deck around an above ground pool. The hose from the filter to bring water back into the pool looks like this. Any ideas for an adapter so the hose does not pinch? The hoses are 1.25”.

Welcome to TFP.
You should cut the deck around the hose connection.

Thank you very much. What kind of adapter do I need to fit into the port?

Dunno. What model pool and equipment is it?

Lots of folks here have hard piped AG pools and some should have ideas for you.

Looking at the pic further you will need to cut or remove the deck to get access to do anything to fix that hose.

It’s an intex 8x16.

That's pretty ridiculous they would leave it like that.

The wiki discusses hard piping an Intex pool…

That is pretty shoddy work...

The only thing I can think of would be to try and make it as shallow as possible and this just might get you past the need to cut your deck. I do not know of anything Intex that can accomplish this. So...

Use a standard pool Intake like this:

Then an immediate 90:

If you can't get the Intex hose over the barb then use this:

Reducer Coupler, Barbed (Insert x Insert)

The Reducer Coupler, barbed (Insert x Insert) at The Pond Guy allows you to connect sections of different-sized tubing together. Many fitting options to shop.

This is a very minimalistic approach without going a full hard pipe conversion.
