What up ninja
Looks great! One of the better plumbings on an intex pool i saw on youtube.
Greetings from Belgium
Thank you and greetings! 👋
Thank you for the video; it pointed me in the right direction for how I want to do my Intex plumbing upgrade! Looking forward to seeing how you complete your skimmer, I have the same.
Thanks for stopping by! I am uplading the skimmer video right now and it should be available after a bit!
... fountain pump to circulate water through mat and works great.
It looks good,
Nice work. I got the same pool, I'd like to do that plumbing but I'm not a plumber and wouldn't risk my new pool
The plumbing was pretty easy tbh - I would pass on the skimmer next time though and just get the Intex ones that clamp to the side of the pool 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Subscribed not just because of the ICP tattoo but because the content is great! Keep'em coming! Whoop Whoop
Thank you! Whoop Whoop!
WOW! AWESOME!
@@desiprince786 thank you! 🥰
@10:50 Painting them would be a good idea. PVC gets brittle over time when exposed to sunlight. Paint will slow the process down greatly.
Yes, I absolutely agree! We will be painting ours to help with this!
The Intex sand filter pump in salt water system shown in the video is the Intex, ECO 20110-1 been replaced by ECO 20110-2 part numbers are going to be 28679EG been replaced the by the 26679EG the features on the Intex, 26679 e.g. the pump has a self cleaning feature the salt water system so we can set the pump timer and set the salt water timer so you have a pump running in the salt water to turn off. Has the pump running then the pump will turn off. If you put the pump timer on lower than salt water timer, it’s gonna automatically change it will not work. The one that shown in the video the pump needs to run with the salt water system so we need to change the FP’s that means filter pump the salt water system cannot be ran so that means if the pump timers on the saltwater system will turn off, so there’s no supper timer for the salt water system as well. The newer features on the newer one and I know everything about those pumps and also have a CZcams channel feel free. Also check it out is the best way channel. I have some pool videos how to update some pool videos to. And feel free to comment below my CZcams channel.😊
Whoop whoop
Whoop Whoop!
In the video are you saying 1-1.5" threaded connectors with 1.5-2" being listed in the supplies list? Im a goof and bought all 2 inch stuff where applicable because I got that stuck in my head. this is the best video, I will I would have found it before I made a few cuts lol.
I believe the threaded connector you are asking about was the 1.5" threaded adapter that adapts to the 2" pipe on the non-threaded side....if that makes sense?
Get yourself some Union fittings and replace your pump housing with flexible PVC pipe.
So how are you able to hook your inlet skimmers back on in the beginning you said you had the 1 inch PVC going through or your skimmer is able to hook up to that? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
I use the big mouth skimmer that I installed on the pool
I am adding the cut in skimmer by Hayward, and I'm thinking about doing away with the old inlet ports and just having the skimmer and the main outlet into the pool. Would that not be enough? No other pool has more than just a skimmer and an outlet into the pool.
Yes, this would work and I had considered doing this as well.
you said you might add a video of skimmer installation.. were you still planning on doing that? And also - did you use hard plumbing just to make it more secure and so all "business" runs to the back of the pool? Loved your video - super helpful :) thank you
Yes, I am making a video for the skimmer install. To be honest, I think going with a skimmer that attaches to the top bar is probably the way to go - the skimmer has a little leak that I just cannot get to seal completely...probably user error tbh and the install instructions were not great 😂
I used the hard plumbing so that way it is more durable and it looks a little better aesthetically.
The flex plastic hose that came with the pump was not long enough to reach where I wanted to place the pump so I needed to either buy long flex hose or use the PVC.
for the inlet adapters did you use 1” of yellow pvc or white ??
@@jjfernandez5044 White PVC
@@Amundred thanks for the reply!!
@@jjfernandez5044 you are welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
??? Is the wiring 1-10 or 2-20.. ty sir
110v wiring 👍
Hey! Thanks for the video. You’ve inspired me to do the same this season. Any chance you have a link for the 1.5 to 2 in threaded adapter for the Bestway/intex hose? Thanks!
I picked the adapters up at my local Menards if I recall 👍
Anyone wanna tell him that’s DWV 90’s but I guess it will work.
I don't see why it won't work. It's not like it has a ton of pressure. I think dev will work just fine
I hate to ask but is it possible to get the dimensions of the pool with the legs included?
It is approximately 14' x 26' with the legs
Can you make a video of your pool pump priming wilds on?
I can make a video this afternoon...there really isn't much to see though. The pu.p turns on and immediately starts pumping water. After a few seconds, the saltwater system kicks on and starts creating chlorine.
I see so many people replacing the hoses with PVC pipes. I just don't see what the advantage is. What is it?
I think the main appeal is for the ability to "clean up" the look compared to floppy hoses everywhere?
@@Amundred Good point. Also, the ability to make everything 1.5 as opposed to 1.25 which restricts water flow and circulation.
@@AmundredOut of curiosity, why didn't you just cut the holes around the rubber nipple coming of the pool to 1 1/2. That way you have 1 1/2 throughout the entire pool, no need for a 1 1/2 adapter.
@@Superman-xr1oh I figured that I would get a good seal with those nipples (which I did) as opposed to potentially having a spot for a leak to happen
Those hoses break easy by the hose claps. I've replaced 4 over 2years
What kind of pump system did you get? I'm trying to find a video on how to install mine
The system that I have is the Intex Salt Water system ECO20110-1 (no longer sold it appears)
The newest version is 26679EG from what I can gather:
amzn.to/3NE5X4Q
What did you put on the 1" pipe on inside of the pool for a screen?
You can use something like this...not sure how long they will last...there are other options as well that could be used or you could make your own to put on the pipe before inserting into the pool 👍

You would almost want to find something with a powder coating if you are going with a salt water set up to prevent corrosion
I'm curious..... Do you have your pool bonded?
Yes, the pump is connected utilizing the correct 3 prong plug 👍
@@Amundred so in other words no, it is not bonded...... Lol
@@Amundred The pool has metal legs, I assume a metal ladder, which is in contact with the water, which is in contact with the pump. Sooooo, it is entirely possible for stray voltage to shock someone in the pool if it is not bonded.
@@Amundred Also, binding has nothing at all to do with the plug. I don't think you know what I'm asking about by your answers.
@@user-cb1kr4go5q bonding would be for metal frames, electrical circuits in the water, etc. Since this pool is an above ground pool with an all plastic pump, the "bonding" is not necessary. The only ground required is the ground through the plug.
I know exactly what you are asking about, but in regards to this pool it is irrelevant and there is no need for bonding. The ground through the plug is the only necessary ground for these types of pools.
Where did you get the male thread from online I can find it anywhere
You could order it from Menards or Home Depot potentially...there is one adapter that I had to get from my local Menards (threaded) which may be the one that you are asking about 👍
@@Amundred thanks
Can you please let me know what that threaded connecter to the flex pipe is? The one on 16:18 ? I can't find it on Amazon.
I believe this is the threaded adapter you are looking for:
amzn.to/3IMx8HP
@@Amundred I got that same adapter from Lowe's but the thread on the pvc adapter doesn't match the thread of the intex hose
@@brianmp7846 it is a little off (standard vs metric I believe) and that is where using the thread tape plus gasket will make it so that you can connect them without leaks - unfortunately the Intex hoses use an odd thread which seems to not exactly match up to anything
@@brianmp7846 im still looking for a correct fitting, the pvc threads ive found are taperd thats why they dont go all the way..ive been looking online and still jot sure exactly which is the right ones either
Could you give me a list of everything you used
