I bought the 16 x 32 foot above ground intex pool and both the valves leak, this plunger valve looks newer < will it alos leak?

We purchased the same plunger for our pool, because our original was left out for the winter and cracked. I have never had a problem with it leaking. It has worked fine. Make sure your gaskets are tight and in place and you shouldn't have any trouble with leaking.

We had the same problems with the valves and since we put these on last year, no problems at all! They seem to be made a lot better than the crap you get with the pools. Good luck!

Since you have an 18 X 48 you will need to use the adapters and fittings with your original pool, they do include adapters and fittings with this pump but it is for the much smaller pools. Mine was a 16 X 48 and we used our original fittings, the intex sand filter eliminates lots of work in keep pool up keep. Good Luck!

I have the Intex 1600 gph and it works great on my 18' round. It is powerful and keeps the pool crystal clear!

I need an answer to this very question as well. So far the answers seems to conflict each other. Anyone else have experience with using this on an intex metal frame pool?

Jim I don't really know if Intex or the company I got my hose from has an adapter that will go from 1.5" to 2/5" but maybe you can get something in the plumbing section of Lowe's or Home Depot. The hose I got from the company leaked and they were good enough to get me one from Intex that was much better. Hope this helps a little

Is the plug near the base of the pool placed correctly or the lines for the filter not secured tight enough? I would check that first and look for obvious tears in the seam or siding.

Since I don't know when you bought this, it's difficult to answer. I had the same problem with one I bought about three years ago. The problem is the GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) built into the cord. I wound up buying another pump with a completely redesigned GFI and it has been working fine. Evidently, Intex saw there was a problem with the old syle GFI, but didn't tell anybody.

By Intex they are meaning the BRAND Intex Pool Corp. That is also the above ground pool I have. I am going to go ahead and order the universal adaptor when I order the Vac-Sweep. If the one I order works I will update the Q & A.

The plunger as shown in pix, its ready to connect to hose that leads to pool. (no rings or anything extra that you need to get) its all there. you should have screen that goes inside the pool already, this is just that one part..

Wish I could help, but mine leaks also. It's as tight as it will go and still water dribbles out. I have to add water to the pool every week which is a pain since we're on a monitor and having a drought!

My newer Intex pump is working better than the one that came with my 18x48 hardsided pool.As long as the fittings will match up, it is definitely worth a try..

Did you remember to put the little smooth round fitting in the end of it? I didn't do that once and thought I had ordered the wrong size.. If you did, match the number / letter on the side of the pool with the order. I am getting ready to re order hoses now. They only seem to last about 1 year.. I will see what it says and let you know..

HI DCC. It all depends on the make of your pool, and the hole for your valve in the liner, these valves are made specifically for INTEX pools, this type of valve needs a 2-1/2 '' opening a nylon insert that screws on to the backside of the valve to be absolutely sure this valve will fit on your pool consult your owners manual that came with your pool, then you need to contact the company for parts. hope you have good luck.

Mine leaks too at the shut-off valve. I had the washers in place and I believe they were rightly used. It seems that there is another washer below the hex nut (which is not visible) and in my case perhaps that washer has issues. I can see water coming out from below the hex nut.I tried several times but could not stop the leakage. I am returning this piece and ordering another one. Let's see how is the other one.

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.

I guess it depends on the nature and size of the leak. Worked well on my hot tub, and that's all above ground. But I have no idea what my leak looked like or where it was in all that maze of plumbing. Maybe there's too much water in the pool for the stuff to work. Ask Marling

Perhaps check where u got your pool. If not get bigger for sure. I don't recommend this specific product!!
