Has anyone used this with an 18ft intex pool. I am sure I would need to get more hose, but I wasn't sure it the adaptors would fit.

The adapters that come with the vacuum worked fine. However it works well once you figure out how to use it.

I don't know. This gets hooked up to your hose, so it has nothing to do with the pump. But it does a great job of getting everything off the bottom of your pool. I have a 10 ft. round Intex pool.

Any pool hoses that I needed I purchase it on Amazon. There are suppliers out there that carry Intex products.

I have a 16' round Ultra pool. I believe these are standard for all INTEX pools. They are much better than the old "plunger version". Hope this helps

Best answer would be, probably not. You would have to know what type of threading is on your non Intex equipment and what type of threading Intex in using. This type of hose screws onto the pump inlet and outlet as well as the side of the pool.

i would say yes. You will need some adapters, eather from intex or from hardware store. As fare as the volume of filtration and chlorine generating system goes this will be big enough. As long as I understand your pool dimension are 18' x 48" deep, round pool. When you set it up it will depend on how many gallons your pool is. (6500- 8500) or so. The pump will run longer the bigger the pool. Yours maybe 4 hours or so. If you get it, take one of the hoses with you to the store I'm sure you can find something to work. Like I seid in another comment there is a lot of stuff on youtube of other people with Good ideas that work. Good luck. And enjoy i would say yes.

Yes, I have a soft side Intex 16" that I am using mine with. You may need to buy some hose adapters as some skimmers on soft side pools have smaller hoses than what is needed on this pump.

Should work with appropriate size pools, and the same connections ... or the ability to adapt the hose connections.

you can use the smaller hose I think it is 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 on the adapter and the pump.If you have an intex pump the smaller hose should fit.You can also use the shutoff valve at the inlet of the pump with the smaller hose.I used both valves. One on the inlet and one on the outlet of the pump with the smaller hoses on inlet and outlet.This set up allows changing the filter without losing water.This set up also increased the circulation.I also use both filters the B filter that came with the pump and the A filter the is used in the skimmer with the basket.With this setup I have crystal clear water. you can use the smaller hose I think it is 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 on the adapter and the pump.If you have an intex pump the smaller hose should fit.You can also use the shutoff valve at the inlet of the pump with the smaller hose.I used both valves.

I took it to a pool store and they matched a hose. It is not here (another house/town) so I can't measure it. Intex is known to make their parts "proprietary"... you may need an Intex hose. Good luck

I have the same pool for my grandkids,so you bought the pump and used the old hoses(i think 1 1/4 inch) and bought adapter from hardware store to fit from pump to old hoses Thanks Joe

The Summer Escapes Pro pool I had used a regular/standard garden hose. You may have to play with it a little, but it should be a standard hose size.

This adapter should work well if your original pump was the 800 gallon per minute or 1,000 gallon per minute pump. I had a slightly larger Summer Escapes pool (18' x 5') that came with a 2,000 gallon per minute pump which requires a larger adapter (that does not appear to be produced by anyone at this point) se we ended up leaving the old pump attached but not using it. Once we had it set up, the sand filter worked much better than the original cartridge filter.

I had a 15' intex pool. I didn't have a skimmer in the pool wall either. Yes, I unscrewed the intake cap (water going to the pump)and screwed on the adaptor and then attached the hose. But, I also had a 1 horsepower sand filter that really worked awesome, had great suction. I don't know how well this maintenance kit would work with the small filter pumps that come with the pool. I hope this helps. Good luck.

the included adaptors are for 1 1/2 in, the openings are threaded 1 1/2 in pipe thread, I use standard 1 1/2 in pool hoses ,like the ones you would use for a pool vacuum cleaner and hose clamps. these are good pool heaters, use a solar cover when not in use to retain heat,I am using 4 panels and can get my pool so hot it is uncomfortable. my pool is under a 20 by 20 portable shelter, and the panels drape over the top and are connected in parralell series, with a 2500 gph pump dedicated to just the heaters. I hope this helps,.

Since you have an 18 X 48 you will need to use the adapters and fittings with your original pool, they do include adapters and fittings with this pump but it is for the much smaller pools. Mine was a 16 X 48 and we used our original fittings, the intex sand filter eliminates lots of work in keep pool up keep. Good Luck!

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..
