4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly install the components of your Intex 25022E kit. Ensure your pool pump is off and unplugged before beginning.

4.1 Installing Strainer Connectors and Grids (Parts 11070, 12365, 11072)

1. Identify the existing inlet and outlet openings on your above-ground pool liner.
2. From the inside of the pool, insert the threaded portion of the 1.25-inch Pool Inlet Strainer Connector (12365) or the Strainer Connectors (11070) through the appropriate hole.
3. From the outside of the pool, secure the connector by screwing on the corresponding nut or hose connection. Ensure a tight seal to prevent leaks.
4. Attach the Strainer Grids (11072) to the inside of the pool's inlet/outlet connectors by twisting them into place. These grids help filter larger debris.

4.2 Installing the Pool Inlet Jet Nozzle (Part 12364)

1. The 1.25-inch Pool Inlet Jet Nozzle (12364) is typically installed on the return side of your pool's filtration system.
2. Screw the jet nozzle into the appropriate connector from the inside of the pool.
3. Ensure it is securely tightened to direct the water flow effectively.

4.3 Using Strainer Hole Plugs (Part 10127)

The Strainer Hole Plugs (10127) are used to temporarily stop water flow through the inlet/outlet holes, which is useful during pump maintenance or when changing filters.

1. With the pump off, firmly press a plug into the strainer hole from the inside of the pool.
2. Ensure it creates a watertight seal.
3. Remove the plug by pulling it out when water flow is desired again.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed, the kit components work together to maintain your pool's water quality.

• Water Circulation: The inlet jet nozzle (12364) directs filtered water back into the pool, creating circulation that helps distribute chemicals and prevent stagnant areas.
• Filtration: The strainer grids (11072) on the inlet connectors prevent larger debris from entering your pump and filtration system, protecting your equipment.
• Flow Control: The strainer hole plugs (10127) allow you to temporarily stop water flow through the inlet/outlet ports, which is essential for safe pump and filter maintenance without draining the pool.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of these parts will extend their lifespan and ensure optimal pool performance.

• Cleaning Strainer Grids: Periodically remove the strainer grids (11072) and rinse them under running water to remove accumulated debris. This ensures unrestricted water flow.
• Inspecting Connectors: Regularly check all connectors (11070, 12365) for cracks, wear, or signs of degradation, especially due to sun exposure. Replace any damaged parts promptly.
• Plugs: Ensure strainer hole plugs (10127) are clean and free of damage to maintain a proper seal when in use.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their solutions:

• Leaks at Connections: Ensure all threaded connections are tightened securely. Check for worn or improperly seated O-rings or gaskets. Replace if necessary.
• Reduced Water Flow: Inspect strainer grids (11072) for clogs and clean them. Ensure hoses connected to the fittings are not kinked or obstructed.
• Parts Not Fitting: Verify that the parts are compatible with your specific Intex pool model and hose size (1.25-inch fittings). Some pool models may have slightly different dimensions, as noted by some users regarding the black plugs.
