How do I fit this on my Pool if my return line is not threaded?

I put it on the "eyeball" fitting on the inside of my above ground pool. When we use it, just unscrew the "eyeball" fitting and replace with the waterfall fitting.

you do need threads to use this water fall. I would try and replace the return fitting with a good one. That should not be that hard to do and cost should be under $20

On my above ground Doughboy pool there is an accessory that came with the pool that clamps over the combination light and return outlet that is not treaded so I had to install a rubber coupler with two stainless hose clamps.Worked great!

do you have a intex pool? if so you have to cut the bottom piece off and slide the 1/4/ inch pipe into you return on the pool use a clamp to hold it in place

I took it to a pool store and they matched a hose. It is not here (another house/town) so I can't measure it. Intex is known to make their parts "proprietary"... you may need an Intex hose. Good luck

Can I install this on a pool other than Intex. I have a basic 15' round pool

I had the same problem. Make sure to use the string because that is what holds the plastic down. I had to look at the picture a couple of times. The four corners are held down by the string going below the pool itself.

Measure the opening for the weir door. The one I got didn't fit even after I had measured. I'm getting a new one tomorrow at my local pool shop so it is a lot easier if I need to return it.

There definitely were threads on my ball valve. I simply purchased a street ell and drained it that way. Someone knowledgeable with plumbing fittings can configure it anyway you want. Bring ball valve to Home Depot and they can help you out.

run mine 5hours at a time 2xs a day. I have a 20x40 in-ground pool with 2 skimmers and 4 returns, so it took some time adjusting these elements until I got it right.

did you take the nozzle of the return line before you try to install? you just unscrew the nozzle and the fountain should screw back in its place.this is strange since all pools have the exact same return system. any Home depot/ Lowes would have any kind of reducer.

I will tell you that I have an older pool and it worked. From what my pool guy said they for overlap as well. my pool is a beaded system. Sorry since I am not a pool expert look to see if your pool is beaded or not that that might help.

The return jets sometimes push the hoses towards the middle of the pool. If you can direct the pool return to the side of the pool instead of straight out. Also try adjusting the position of the hose weights. Make sure the main drains are off also as most cleaners will get stuck on them if the main drain is on.

Try some WD-40. It has sediment in the threads. You just need to work at it and tap it on something. Or find some one to help you.

There is a threaded hole. I use a Skil buffer so not sure of the size match up

I removed the nuts from the adapters and put a 1 1/4 flexible coupling over that end. It's a tight fit but it will go on. And then you can place that over the end on your pool. Secure the hose clamps and you're in business. I don't have any leaks. I also purchased the intex skimmer plate so that I can vacuum the pool easier. I just use the top hat looking pieces that came with the pool to keep water from flowing out if I have to do anything with the sand filter. It beats paying through the nose for plunger valves

The adapter you will need is $50 (slightly more with shipping I imagine) - thanks to Floridasmile for providing that link with the info...I would have probably bought this without knowing that otherwise, and would have been disappointed to have to pay 50% of skimmer cost on top, just for an adapter. OTOH I bought a floating fountain that attaches to one of my returns (also not threaded, just plaster), and was able to get that to work somehow (and they had multiple adapters included with fountain, all of which assumed a threaded return). Maybe I could do the same with this.

Hmm, mine had everything it needed. You need to completely unscrew the part in your pool. Sometimes the cover and ball shaped thing that adjusts direction come off but there is still a plastic screw part in the port. That also needs to come out, just as if you were going to plug the port. Could that be the problem?

I got a 1.5 pool filter hose like 3' hose and 2 couplings for the pump out and filter in..these are 1.5 threaded male couplings on one side...on the other side I used clamps to secure the hose.Hope this will help you

Look for one that comes with a hand pump or siphon will work. There are 2 openings on top that have threaded caps
