How to PVC Plumb Your Bestway Above Ground Pool

How to hard plumb your above ground pool but still making sure that you don't have to fight leaks due to pool flex. PVC plumbing your pool is very beneficial but because of the rigid nature of the hard PVC, any movement from your pool will eventually lead to leaks in the pipes. I solved this issue by incorporating some flexible Intex hose into the build.

Intex Hose:

i do love that you used the flexable intex hose to leave movement so it won't break, but then mounted the pvc to a movable point which could let the pvc and/or connect to break anyway. but... it gives me an idea of how i'd like to do mine

Thanks for the video it helped me wrap up my confusion with the gap I was getting in the fittings

Hello, great video. where did you find the hose adapters that are used before the plunger valve?

[lisahawkins]

Most EXCELLENT video AND channel. My husband and I appreciate how simple and efficient your set up is. Can you please list the hose holder and the gray cutoff valves? We're going to ziptie our leaky hoses until we can do your EXACT set up. (Even ordering the Intex vacuum). Thank you for all of your tips. 🥰

Could put some foam pipe insulation over the original flexible hose for UV protection. The pool is on sale now for under $400 (20x12) so I might grab one.

Intex is FPT and standard pvc is NPT, one is Flat and the other is tapered

How did you connect the black hoses from the solar panel to your system? Could you show that?

For the Rubber Gasket in your description, I clicked on the link and there is no 1-1/2. I am just wanting to confirm which size you ended up going with? Thanks

Where did you find the thick rubber seal? Thats exactly what I need.

It's possible that the thread is mismatched in pitch, but there's definitely a difference that the hose end is straight thread and the PVC is tapered pipe thread.

Please post the gasket information. I am fight this now..

I thought getting rid of the flex lines was the whole idea 💡 🤔

Intex does sell a standard thread hose. The whole world uses metric, it IS standard.
