Hi folks, sorry I haven't been too active on the forum this past year but I've been using the TFP method ever since we installed our pool four years ago. Even when I get lazy and neglect it until late April, it always bounces back quickly using the SLAM method taught here and running my filter a little extra for 5-7 days. But now I've run into an issue and was hoping you may be able to help me out.
I've noticed that the pressure on my Pentair has been building up into what I consider fairly extreme numbers (like 50+ PSI). I'm guessing I need to do a deep clean on my filter but the folks that installed it did NOT add any unions for me to easily disconnect it. So my question is: Do I just need to purchase two of these bad boys from Amazon in order to install them onto my incoming and outgoing 1.5 inch PVC lines? Is it fairly easy to do with a little bit of PVC adhesive and a hacksaw? I've tried doing a search for adding unions to filters but several posts here show some type of threaded union and I don't think that will fit my application. I've included pictures of my setup for easier reference.
