Hi all, new to these forums. I recently purchased an Intex Easy Set 12'x30" pool. The stock pump that came with it is trash so I replaced it with an Intex 28633EG. I have the dual inlet/one return setup on my pool. Currently, I have two 1.25" hoses, each hooked up to an inlet port, then combined at the stock intex "T" adapter, which then goes to an intex above ground plunger valve, then to an intex Hose Conversion Adapter 25009. Thats where I have my 1.5" hose that came with the new pump, which goes to the pump/filter. The return is the stock 1.5" hose, running to another Intex hose conversion adapter 25009, then to a plunger value and then to the return nozzle.
Im planning on adding a solar setup using 250' of irrigation hose in a coil. I know it needs to be hooked up to the return hose somehow, and I have done extensive reading on the subject. However, even after reading probably 50+ threads and DIY guides, I still have no idea what specific parts to purchase in order to divert part of the water from the 1.5" return hose, and then back to the 1.5" return hose after passing through the 250' of irrigation hose for the heater. If anyone can help me compile a parts list for how best to effectuate this project, I would greatly appreciate it.
I know that I will need to replace the 1.5" stock intex return hose, but I have no idea how to hook up a non-intex hose to the intex fittings. I also know that I will need a T junction with a "ball valve"(sp?) on it to divert part of the water from the 1.5" return hose to the 250' of irrigation hose. Then I will need another T junction to return the hot water back to the return hose. I am very inexperienced with these types of projects and any help would be appreciated.
