notice in the picture that the barbed fitting is screwed into the inside threads of my pump not the outside then the hose is attached with a hose clamp. Underneath that you see the intex adapter attached to the intex salt water generator & the hose is also attached to it with a hose clamp.

Right i see. the pump only has 1 internal thread connector. i assumed the order went pool return-pump-sandfilter-swg-pool, but i think you mean the intex adapter will work to go to the sand filter?

I meant one end of the hose will attach to the barbed fitting & one end to the intex adapter

I was just showing u the fittings in action - Not necessarily in order

look up GAME 4560 This is what i use with 1 1/2'' pvc you will need an adapter to get the 1 1/2'' to a female 1 1/2''. Home Depot part Charlotte Pipe 1-1/2 in. PVC Sch. 40 Female S x FPT Adapter is what I use to get it done

 

[rickyrich1271]

Reduce what you have down to 1 1/2 pvc sch 40 intex hoses are 40 mm thread

So the Charlotte pipe 1-1/2 can be bonded into these pipes, then the GAME 4560 can be directly screwed in and the Intex attached pipes attached to them?
Sorry just making sure i am not being dense.

 

[rickyrich1271]

You will have to reduce what you have to 1 1/2

 

[rickyrich1271]

yes the Charlotte will slide over the 1 1/2’’ pipe and the Game adapter screws into Charlotte leaving you with 40 mm thread for Intex hoses. You need to get what you have reduced down to 1 1/2 pvcto accept the Charlotte fitting. Have fun with this project don’t let it get you down.

I did this on my own setup. Get a 2" to 1 1/2" pvc slip reducer and an 1 1/2" insert adapter. Then screw on an 1 1/2" female barbed adapter. The key is to cut the cuff off the Intex hose. Once you do that, the hose will slide onto the barbed adapter and just use a stainless hose clamp. All of these items are available at your local hardware store. I'll try and get pictures of mine tomorrow.

Thank you, i have some parts on Order, but i also intend on heading out today to try source these parts, should you be kind enough to post.

Sorry it took a day to get these photos. The weather here has been less than favorable. One shows where I connected an intex hose to a pvc valve with slip fittings that converted to threaded and then to barbed for the hose. The other picture shows where I extended the hose using a barbed reducer. Notice that the cuff has been cut off the the intex hose. I tried to get it to go on the barbed fitting with the cuff and it just wont fit. Once you cut that off, it fits perfectly on an 1 1/2" barbed fitting.

Thanks all. I Managed to find connectors that actually fit fine on the inTex pipes. I just came in from hooking it up and the only slight leak ( so far ) is on the actual pumps intake connection ( wishing I’d used the outer thread now ) it’s only a drip every 5 seconds or so. Maybe it will self seal.
thank you again. Now I have to get my head around the salt water system

Great ?? i have 2 of those swg’s- there’s not much to figure out just how long u wanna run it

 

[rickyrich1271]

Did you use tape on the threads

 

[rickyrich1271]

Looks good nice and neat

Did you use tape on the threads

I did yes, it appears the one leak not on the intex pipe funnily enough has self sealed woohooo

 

[rickyrich1271]

Keep an eye on it for a little while. Seal it self reminds me of my dad with soldering and brass valves. Legit get a little green and it will seal it self. Did you us the adapter 4560 or did you find something else.

I ended up taking it apart and reinstalling with less PTFE , and touch wood its bone dry. The 4560 still hasn't arrived, i actually found a adapter to connect what was missing in a store not 2 miles away ( and I'm slightly embarrassed i didn't think of them prior )

Thank you.
