Greetings! I bought a 1.5 hp replacement pump on Ebay last year (old pump made it through the season), but the hoses do not fit (pump is smaller on outlet and bigger on inlet). What am I missing?

It sure is! Thank you. :D

I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all the advice you provide on this site. I started out this pool season with high CYA and not enough chlorine for that level. The pool store sold me lots of "stuff" to lower my cya, rather than just telling me to drain and replace. So, after lots of...

Absolutely! I bought the Taylor 2006 kit. I find it very confusing to test, so my husband does the testing :) I just referred back to the CYA/chlorine chart and had him add chlorine (liquid chlorine bought at Ollies 12%) and it recommended 101 oz, so my husband added just under a gallon. We...
