Does this skimmer work with Summer Escapes pools? I bought the Intex skimmer first(oops), it was not compatible with the factory water outlet piece.

I have the 18 foot Intex ultra frame pool. the skimmer would not attach to the frame the c-clamp was to small and the adaptor for the inflatable ring was to big. I ended up buying the adaptor set for the inlet also. It can be done but I had to make my own adaptor for the skimmer when I built a deck around the pool.

You have everything that you need in the kit. This kit can also be used for a summer escapes pool, with the wall skimmer. But, you will have to use the vacuum adapter that came with the pool, as you do not have the round inlet like the Intex pools have. Again, I use mine with a Summer Escapes 18 X52 pool, and have had no problems at all.

I can't specifically answer your question because I don't know what a "summer escape" pool is; however, it does fit over the top rim of my skimmer basket, which is about 8-1/2" in diameter. Hope this helps.

i have the 24x52 INTEX pool. this did not fit on my skimmer that came with my pool.

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.

it will work with any outlet from the pump. I have a Polaris in the middle, main outlet in the deep, and the skimmer in the shallow. I just leave attached and then readjust when needed or when I reboot especially before the kids swim.

No, you can't screw the Intex hose and plunger valve directly to the bottom of this skimmer. However, In The Swim has an adapter that is meant to adapt an Intex hose to a standard pump, but it will also work the other way around to adapt an Intex pump and hose to a standard skimmer like this one. Go to intheswim.com and search for part A2656. Wrap the smaller end of the adapter with the supplied Teflon tape and screw it into the bottom of the skimmer. If the hose barb included with the skimmer is already screwed into the bottom, take it out. You won't need it. Then screw the Intex plunger valve onto the larger end of the adapter and hook up your Intex pump and hose to the plunger valve as you normally would. I don't think you'll need the supplied gasket because the plunger valve has an o-ring on it, so it should seal. The gasket is for hooking the Intex hose up to a standard pump. But hang on to the gasket anyway, it may come in handy someday. And be sure to use the Teflon tape on the smaller end. Otherwise, that connection will definitely leak. Hope this helps. Good luck.

if you have an intex pool, all of the needed parts and connectors are in the box or use the ones that currently exist on your pool. I didn't have anyconnection issues when i hooked mine up.

It worked perfectly with my soft side intex pool, although mine is the metal frame style. I think the connections should be identical to mine so you should be good. They provide all kinds of adapters (I had to use nearly everything they provide to make it work). Good luck!

I found one on amazon, it was a suggested purchase from the same vendor I ordered the skimmer from. I just used a search for the Intex skimmer.

Check through the other comments. You'll find an answer. It comes with several adapters, that should work with other pools. In a worst case scenario, you could adapt your plumbing with easy parts from the hardware store. Get this filter!

Hi, this is Steve over at Aqua Products. We have not had problems with this unit and Intex pools, but that is not to say it could not happen. My recommendation is to proceed with caution as this will not be covered under the warranty.

My 14x42 pro series summer escapes needed the intex hose adapter kit which was available at a pool store, along with another hose. I also needed some hose clamps that I picked up for cheap at walmart. The problem is the kit does not include anything to adapt the strainer assembly if your pool has one. It also didn't include anything to adapt the water return.

i connected to the cleaner connector for the first pool, and after i moved, the new poor don't have cleaner connector.i just connect it to the skimmer. it worked fine. i guess it not depend what cleaner you use, as long as you have theright connector which come with the cleaner. hope this help you.

This is the above ground version and is a suction side device. Im not sure but I would guess that this could be if connected through your skimmer as it is made to do for the above ground pools.

It should work it worked on mine. I mounted mine so that the very bottom of the skimmer opening is lined up with the bottom of the round inlet opening on the pool. I had to switch the hoses around so the upper one went to the skimmer and the one half way down went to the water inlet which actually makes more sense in the first place. It comes with one gasket which spreads lika a butterfly cut that in half to use on the inside and outside when mounting the skimmer or buy another one, I cut mine in half and it worked perfect no leeks.

Yes. It comes with different connections And that one should be included. Escapes and intex pools are in essences the same. I empy the catch bag under water by taking vac end off pulling bag out and emtying alway keeping vac head under water Hope it helps. Good luck Tip. Make a whirl pool all dirt will settle in middle and vac away
