2.0 out of 5 stars Could work better, August 13, 2008

By	eganov (WI USA) - See all my reviews

Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 

First off, I don't know why anyone would order these adapters from any place other than Intex directly - the manufacturer. They sell them for about $2.50ea and you can get two, delivered anywhere for about $10.

Second, while they do attach nicely, they do cause the rest of the hose and attachments to stick out and pull down on the protruding 1 1/4" black nozzle as another poster indicated.

Finally, there is a design flaw in that the black gasket, on the end of the adapter that attaches to the plunger valve, is mated to a rim that is hollow. You can see this by just pulling the gasket back on that edge. Once assembled everything will work fine for a while. But after a few minutes, the gasket gets sucked into the hollow rim and causes air to enter the system resulting in a "buzzing" around the adapter and significantly reduced water flow - probably not good for the pump either. The rim really should be a solid flat surface for the gasket to mate to. This is probably caused by the a pump that is designed for 1 1/2" openings moving water through the a 1 1/4" adapter.

I considered fixing this by filling the hollow edge with liquid resin available from a craft store. I ultimately just cut out the 1 1/4" inflow and outflow black tube and installed the strainer/nozzle assemblies that came with the pump, ditching the adapters altogether. Everything works fine and I have an 1 1/2" path through the whole system. An added benefit is that the assemblies now don't pull down on the pool liner as they are closer and have much more surface area in contact with the liner.

1.0 out of 5 stars Order canceled!!!, June 30, 2008

By	K. Mciver "Clipse" (NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this item as I had plans to upgrade my pump and upgrade to a saltwater system. My Kids were anxiously awaiting the use of the pool for the summer. I ordered the filter pump from another company on Amazon because it was cheaper. CMS then CANCELED my order because I did not order the pump from THEM!!!! With todays economy this is deplorable!!! To punish a family who is trying to save a bit on shipping and order a product from someone who is offering it cheaper than your company!!! I have never been so disgusted!! Amazon shouldn't even allow your company to sale on their site!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars We didn't need them!, July 1, 2009

By	RUSSELL PATTERSON (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

Our 1500gph pump failed on our 18' x 48" Entex Easy Set. I wanted the more powerful pump so I ordered the 2500 gph. They way it was worded on Amazon, it looked as though I would need these adapters, but it turned out I didn't. (the hoses that came with the new pump were the same size but built mush stronger. Use the new hoses.
