Hello all,

I bought my house in October and the previous owner left me there Intex pool. It's approximately 5,000 gallons, but I'm. It sure the size. I've got it cleaned up and looking blue, but it has been very cloud. My local pool store said the Intex pumps are slow to clear things up because they're so small, so I came up with a weird idea. My mom had a spare Sta-Rite pump (model #JWPAS5F-2A4). I took that pump and would like to swap it with my Intex pump. My hope is that it will move the water much faster and will allow me to keep it clean and clear.

Sounds good on paper, but here's my problem. I don't know thread sizes for either the Intex hoses or the Sta-Rite pump. Anyone have any ideas? The hose is 1.5", but I don't know about the threads. My pool store said Intex uses its own threads and hoses, so finding an Intex to Sta-Rite adapter is not likely.

Suggestions? Comments? Concerns? I'm new to pool ownership. I'm just trying to use something my mom has sitting around that I believe would work better with my pool.

Thanks all,

Mike
