I think you could do it, without problems . . . at first.

But an Intex pool moves easily, and hard pipe doesn't. That is going to create a stress point that will either tear the pool or break the pipe. I think fixing whatever is wrong with your existing Intex connection point might be a better plan. If you can get through on their phone lines, Intex has apparently been pretty good about replacing components that have a problem, often not even asking that you return the old component. I'd try that, first.
