how hard is it to replace flex pipe from pump to filter?

Save your money on the cleaner. Primer and the PVC cement is all you really need. I use Oatey Rain-R-Shine medium Blue PVC Cement.

Straight from oatey's website... "1. What is the difference between pipe cleaner, primer / cleaner and primer?
All pipe surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with pipe cleaner. The cleaner is formulated to remove surface dirt and any oil or grease that exists on the pipe from the manufacturing process. Primer/cleaner and primer contain more aggressive solvents and will soften the pipe surface to allow the solvent cement to penetrate more effectively. Primer is often required by plumbing code and sometimes a purple colored primer (purple primer) is needed."

Also, when pipe cement should be applied while the primer is still wet.

This may be so, but when I checked a few years ago the MSDS sheets were identical, so I doubt there is much difference

So far it's working with no leaks. If it lasts a year it will have been more cost effective than the pool store.

Thanks everyone for your help! On my way to near zero reliance on the dang pool store.
