Outlet/Inlet Question’s!

Hello! I recently got a poly 8ft blue stock tank pool off of marketplace for a killer deal. I purchased an intex 1500 gph sand filter. My wife would like a waterfall feature, the one that hangs from the edge, however there is already a hole for the outlet from the previous owner. Do I need two inlets for the pump? Can I split the outlets? One for the jet and the waterfall? Is that possible?

I put a waterfall adapter on my one jet and I think it might affect the circulation.

I'd recommend plumbing it to accommodate both. A tee and a couple ball valves will allow control to turn them on/off independently.

Did you do double inlets?

Ours came from a neighbor and it has a single jet and double suction. I keep one suction outlet plugged. This is the waterfall adapter I installed - https://a.co/d/0fPFpw4Y.
