Pair this adapter with a length of 1 1/2" Sch 40 PVC and a cordless drill to clean and reuse those paper Intex Filters for a pool over and over again. I was looking for a quicker and easier way to clean the regular Intex filters that come with those cheap inflatable pools. Now I can clean them up in just a few minutes. I recommend to first soak the filter in a water and dish soap mixture. Then use the drill to spin the filter while blasting off the dirt and residue with a water hose. Works like a charm!
