in ground or above ground the only difference is the plumbing to and from the above ground pool
place the pump and filter well away from the pool and use imagination and pvc pipes to plumb it in.
Are you trying to find a pump or install one? Oftentimes you can call local pool companies like http://www.paradise-poolservice.com/services.html that could help you. If you are trying to install it yourself, I would suggest a projects store.
Home water pressure runs 60-80#, which a sound plumbing system should handle. Can you get into your plumbing where there is a straight shot to the pool, rig an adapter and try to back flush into the pool?
I presume your filter is clear (low pressure drop on gauge).
The horizontal threaded end plumbs into the pool return line, and the vertical threaded end (on top) plumbs into the Polaris return line. This is a dedicated return line for pressure side pool cleaners that has been pre-plumbed into the pool when it was built.
If you pool does not have that cleaner return line Polaris has a kit for an "over the deck" mount. Each installation is not identical and it would be best to have someone on site to set you straight. Most pool guys will stop by for a minuteor two and show you "what connects where" at no charge (expect to be invoiced if it turns into a lengthy Q&A). Google image may help. The 280 is an excellent cleaner, good luck with the install!
this question has come up before too me , what i respond with is it to be perminate or temporary ? , the reason i ask if its to be perminate then i suggest purchasing the correct filter for the pool, but on temporary situation (to just finish out season) then yes even though the pipe sizes are different , the use of std plumbing home DWV rubber soft connections available at any good hardware/homecenter would work , but heres the temporary part of it , saltwater pool water degrades the rubber making it brittle , but will last a month or so
these are a hard motor to work on. i would suggest unplug it from the motherboard and un hook the plumbing and bring it to your local pool pump motor repair guy and have him test it. it just may need to be blown out with compressed air. do to dust in the start points
I agree it sounds like a check valve. if the water in the pool matches the water level in the spa, or drains all the way (depending on how far the spa is raised) then it is the valve before the pump, but if it goes down to the jets (and not any further) then it is a check valve or valve on the retun side of the plumbing ( after heater or chlorinator).
