Thanks! Yeah, the wife wants to put a heater in, which I’d rather have hard piped. I think my best bet would be to buy the 6” pvc flex pipe and use the adaptors from there to do my sch40 piping. I have everything drawn out, just needed to know if that was my only option 😩

Pump, skimmer, filter, return all have molded in hose connections.

As soon as I get home later I’ll take a few pictures. It’s a pool I bought from pool warehouse a few years ago. The pump and filter was labeled as an HP series filter. Assuming it is a Hayward knock off. But both the pump and filter do not have removable fittings, they have the hose clamp on style.

I’m trying to hard pipe my entire system. Only trouble I’m having is a filter/pump transition since they are molded into the systems. Had 2 hoses let go last year and I want to hard pipe and be done.

The only thread I found with a potential answer was no longer active. How can I adapt the molded in hose barbs to rigid pvc? I saw someone put a piece of hose to the fitting with a hose clamp and then used a barb to pvc coupling as pictured but it didn’t give me a good feeling longevity wise.
