Soft-Sided Pool Adapter

It don't fit ..im stuck with it

Threads on beluga inlet adapter don’t fit the intex inlet adapter. Not the first with this issue either wish I would’ve read the reviews. Save your cash. Must be a quality escapement and a bad lot. I’d wait to purchase from next lot if considering.

So, I was initially disappointed that the Intex adapter didn't fit my inlet port. Even though it is the correct size, the threads are smaller on the adapter making it impossible to screw on. I made a call directly to the company and spoke to a very nice guy who was also disappointed that Intex had made a design change making their adapter not fit. A workaround includes two possible solutions. If you have not yet set up your pool, some people have been able to use a bit of force to make the two pieces connect. This is difficult to do if the pool is set up and filled with water. Another solution is to switch the ports and hoses so you can use one of the two outlet pieces (which for some mysterious reason Intext did NOT change their threading) as the new inlet (again, knowing this *before* you fill the pool would be preferable. I certainly welcome any other suggestions. This product was a great idea and targeted at folks who don't want to fiddle with things so really more like a 3 star plus 1 star for the real person who answered the phone and made those suggestions.

Love it. Simple solution to heat pool. Works great. No huge leaky solar mat. A black hose and voila warm water. Extends swim time. We have hard water so once used cannot move setting. I keep more of trickle setting as longer the water stays in hose the warmer it gets. I use with a solar cover. Pool temperature increases 8 degrees on hot sunny day.

Wonky it kinda works.

Question? is there a smaller size for this adapter it does not fit the pool . Or do you have suggestions on how to set it up.

We had a hard time figuring out how to make this work....total operator error ;-) Thanks to the reviewer who showed a picture of it in place. You can see that this does NOT completely replace the interior inlet piece. The interior inlet piece comes apart and you screw it on to threads that are inside of it. In our defense, this information was never given in any directions. Long story, short, it works great and is now helping us to heat our intex pool.

Junk- could not attach this adapter to an Intex soft sided pool. The threads are too small.
