I bought Intex 16 X 48” AGP new this summer. It has 2 inlets and 1 outlet. My previous pools had 1 of each. I’ve been struggling with the issue of 1.5” hoses from the 2 inlets with my Krystal Clear pump. Racking my brain on how to create a t joint to keep everything 1.5”. Then it occurred to me that I’m not using 1 inlet anyway to give my Intex skimmer (hook on side of pool kind) more suction. Decided I’d attach Intex plunger valves with B adapter to inlet then 1.5” hose to pump, same on outlet side and then I’d plug the 2nd inlet and just not use it. Does the pool need 2 inlets?
Then my second issue, I don’t have the pool filled as high as it should be filled because one of my kids is 49” tall and I’d rather keep the water level a little lower this year. This is causing the outlet water shooter (I believe that’s the technical term ?) to not be under the water level and water shooting out of the water. Looking at it and wondering if I could just plug that outlet rather than 1 of the inlets and use the inlets as an inlet and outlet. Does the outlet have to be at a higher height than the inlet?
