Hello all,
I was getting bubbles from my returns so knew there had to be air in the lines. I made myself crazy looking for an issue when the pump then went digging and found this lovely surprise! The original owners threw a PVC connector which was too large on the pipes underground then sealed it with duct tape. Ugh!!!
Here's my problem - the pipe is too big to fit a 1" fitting and too small to fit a 1.25" fitting (without water leaking everywhere. Any idea how to join these two pipes with an air tight seal that will prevent air getting in and water getting out?
