Hose connection
Refer to figures 8-11. This pool filter system is designed to connect to pools with standard 1 ¼" or 1 ½"
diameter hose connectors. If your pool has a hose connector size and/or type different than described here,
you may need to purchase an adapter at your local pool supply store or hardware retailer. The models BASIC
8.5 and BASIC 10 are supplied with hose connectors for Intex
®
pools.
Before you begin to connect hoses to the filter and pump, make certain that no water can flow through the
intake or return hoses connected to the pool. Some pools have shut off valves in their intake and return ports,
others do not. If you do not have a shut off valve, block the ports with a removable plug to prevent water from
passing into and through the hoses.
For Pools with 1 ¼" or 1 ½" diameter unthreaded hoses
1. Refer to figures 12 and 13.
2.
These instructions assume that the pool is already assembled with hoses attached to the water intake and
return ports on the pool.
3. Screw the 1 ¼" - 1 ½"
hose connector into the transparent hair & lint strainer cover
.
Make certain that O-
ring
“A” is in place before securing.
4.
Attach the hose coming from your pool’s skimmer (outlet of pool) to the 1 ¼" - 1 ½" hose connector
extending from the hair & lint strainer cover.
5. Secure with a hose clamp.
6. Lightly lubricate the pool return port on the tank cover with synthetic PTFE lubricant, available at any pool
supply store or hardware store.
7. Attach the pool return hose (inlet of pool) to the pool return port on the tank cover.
8. Secure with a hose clamp.
NOTE: Be careful not to secure the return hose to the waste/backwash port.
