Tie it into your return line to the pool after the pump. No new pump hardware needed, just the plumbing.

You can tie this into your existing system and then control it by valves to heat your jacuzzi and/or your pool.

No coupling is supplied. You can probably reuse your old coupling if its in good shape. The pump has a shaft that slides into the coupling.

Yes, just use the shut off valves from pool to filter pump. Disconnect hoses and replace with new ones. Or you can lower water level below the lowest outlet and replace that way.

I connected inline between pump and waterfall - Just clamped hosing and put it in the filter box with the pump for easy access - no trouble and clear water - I have a small pond with about 600 gallons

I am not sure what type of system you have but for this filter to work properly you need the corresponding multiport valve that gets hooked directly up to the filter. If you don't have this valve you need to get it. Your old valve will become inactive.

You can use as a direct replacement if you do not use the filter. If you do install the filter follow the instructions as to where to place in the flow connections.

When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump. As an extra we purchased the stand alone saltwater system and connected the two in series. I would assume a combo pump/saltwater system is all you'd need to do the job, assuming the pump has some form of filtering system built into it. You should make sure the pump in the combo system is at least as powerful as the standard pump that comes with the 18' x 48" pool, as water flow strength is critically important for the saltwater system to operate (a water flow that's too weak will shut down the saltwater system and post an alarm). An Intex representative should be able to answer that question for you. When we purchased the pool it came with its stock filter pump.

just received this item, i put the female and male end to it so that way i can unhook it from the compressor when need be, i didn't get the filter but you should be able to put the ends on the filter and hook that up first to the compressor and then hook the regulater to the filter.

You should be able to hook it up to your filter. You may have to get creative with fittings and decide if you want to hard pipe your filter to the skimmer or use hoses. The tricky part will be cutting an opening in the side of your pool. It is very important that you make sure the skimmer is level. I hope this helps you. Good luck

You need a filter. The pump has slits for the water to enter it, but it is not a true filter.

I did not need any connection fittings. Therefore, the smart water filter fit my need perfectly and just needed connecting to the fittings I had already. Sorry.

You have to attach your own air pump and tubing to it. It is just the filter itself.

no, you have to hook the hose up to your filter and the filter acts as the vaccum.

As others have mentioned, set up is very simple. It's a matter of attaching the pump to the filter by tightening the knob connector. Then, connect the incoming pipe to the pump and the outgoing pipe to the filter. Be sure to wrap the fittings with teflon tape or the connections will leak like crazy.

This is the UV light only and you would need to purchase a pump, hosing etc... What most people do is split off their current pump/filtration to route into a UV filter such as this.

I have mine next to the tank, and the hoses are just about long enough. I don't think they'd be long enough to connect the filter under the tank. You could always just buy hoses from your local hardware store, but you can't have it too low -- the pump won't lift the water very high.Good luck!GBose
