I just purchased a summer waves 18x48 pool today. I also bought an intex 2800 sand filter pump and a saltwater system. I put up the pool today only to see I don't have pool plunger valves I need for my intex pump ( I thought it came with the pump since I don't have an intex pool). So that's problem one. Problem two is I don't even know where to begin to attach the sand filter pump to my pool since the new summer waves pool has a different skimmer with a closes in system so the way I though I was going to do will not work with my adaptor I purchased from amazon. I need to figure out how to either buy something to attach the hoses together or replace the skimmer on the pool with another one that will fit the intex pump. Im at a stopping point right now with my pool halfway full not knowing what to do
