Thanks, yes, I was planning to put a clamp on, but was thinking the threads should add at least some resistance?

Hi everyone, quick plumbing question. So I don't use the old Polaris pool cleaner, but I had to redo some plumbing and was planning to re-plumb the line. I was thinking that it would need the 1/2" fitting - it looks like it is the correct size. However, when I push it in, it is not loose, but...

On the "filter" setting it is making a hissing sound and the heater read low pressure. When I backwash, the flow coming out is much lower as well. I've been backwashing frequently (2-3 times a week, since I have a slide hooked up to a hose that is causing the water level to rise). When I turn...

Not sure how I missed this comment, but I hope your pool turned out good! I think yours looks like it is in better shape than mine when I started :) and from what I've read, my pool 1964 was before gunnite such they just used concrete I guess? Added a heater and a slide this year so still fun...

Pictures :)

I ordered the turbo twister today, I will post pictures once it is installed. Looking online, the best price I could find for the typhoon was around 2800 with shipping, and this one was 3400 with shipping, so I decided just to go with the bigger slide since it wasn't a huge price difference. I...
