how to cut the hose to fit the pool?

I didn't have to cut the hose, it was for a 24 ft. round pool and was the length I needed

Pull hard to pop the connecter off, cut the hose to the length you need, then pop the connector back on.

Unscrew from end (end that screws into turtle), cut inside variegation it's kind of hard to get back into toe cap without bending it but patience is needed. R u sure u need to cut it? It coils in on itself a lot even being too short for my pool, I just cut the hose because I had a hole in it and I replaced a section of hose before replacing whole thing eventually

Yes, that is what I did. The hole is too large, and I was concerned about the threads being damaged so I cut off a 5" long section of 1" Electrical PVC conduit keeping the flared end and the collet for the swim tether fits perfectly.

i ended up ordering a new full size hose, then cutting up my old one, and buying a nozzle from a pool supply store ($6?). I think you can also buy a 3' adapter hose, but i recall they are outrageously expensive.

There is a piece you can order from here, or pick up at local pool supply store, that converts the hoses from the larger new size to the older smaller size.

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

There is a drain plug near the bottom of the pool. You hook a hose to it with a piece that came with the pool. It's a plastic white piece. Hope this helps, I have the same pool.

Try this YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdb2Zc-maMw ) which requires you to use a hole saw and open up the bottom of the skimmer. I used a Hayward inlet fitting with adapter and attached the hose to that with a hose clamp. Also, the pumps fittings are tapered and I opened them up to 1 1/2 inches by cutting at the next graduation, this allowed for better water flow. My base is pretty level so I am also able to use a Pentair Lil'Shark to clean the pool bottom. Hope this helped.

Yes. It's very easy to cut it to fit the shape of your pool. Having two people to do it is recommended.

I bought a small clear flexible 3/4" hose about 10 to 12 feet long from the local hardware store, and completely submersed it under the pool water, then you cover the one end with your thumb to seal it, pull the one end of the hose out down to ground level , release your thumb and most of the water will siphon out once it starts flowing if the other end is unobstructed and at the bottom of the pool. It will take a while. I usually leave it overnight and walk away and let it drain. This gets most of the water out and at that point you can get to the pools drain plug if you desire to drain all the water. A garden hose may work but its harder to plug the end with your thumb and would probably be too long I bought a small clear flexible 3/4" hose about 10 to 12 feet long from the local hardware store, and completely submersed it under the pool water, then you cover the one end with your thumb to seal it, pull the one end of the hose out down to ground level , release your thumb and most of the water will siphon out once it starts flowing if the other end is unobstructed and at the bottom of the pool.

You have to make sure all the air is out of the hose for it to work properly, so if you disconnect it, you'll probably have to pull the sections of the hose apart to ensure there is NO air in them. If I'm doing this by myself, the easiest way is from in the pool, keeping the hose ends under water. If you have help, it's possible to do it from outside of the pool.

Hey Steve, look at the zoomed in view on this link and place the spring on and apply force with your fingers to put the other end of the spring over the plastic part, thats how i figured it out. Good luck:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Swimline-Hydrotools-8165-Swimming-Pool-Flexible-Weighted-Vacuum-Head-w-Brushes-/230962030717?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BIEW%252BFICS%252BUFI%26otn%3D21%26pmod%3D230925285509%26ps%3D54&nma;=true&si;=FTL60A9NWhce1WjixSUnm54Wp5c%253D&orig;_cvip=true&r;t=nc

Plug the hose in to the skimmer outlet where the water goes out of your pool and goes to the filter

You have to cut the hose to be able to have each side attach to the filter.

There is a drain plug at the bottom of the pool side. It plugs from inside, but if you have the tool it inserts on outside. This way you can drain it.

I use the hose from my pool vac. One end is pushed onto the blower and the other goes into the skimmer line. Works great!
