Hi,
OK - finally getting around to attaching the Intex LED fountain - simple enough right? Except that since I upgraded to a bigger pump to solve the issues I have posted about before - when attaching it close enough to the return hose from the pump it sprays all the way OVER our 9' rectangular pool!!! Of course I figure there MUST be a way to adjust - right? Directions say - get a smaller pump!!! ARRGGHH..
SO, my plan is to put ON the 9' side of the pool and then it will be fine. BUT, the return hose is not long enough - and I only have one extra piece of hose right now and it will doesn't have the correct connection - they both have the threads with the big gray plastic tightener.
I said - OK - just to test it I can pull a couple of hose from the robot - even though I don't really want to keep taking it in and out when using the fountain (I have posted earlier that it really is just my wife that uses this pool and just floats - so leaving robot in all the time is preferred).
BUT, I am still having a major mental roadblock as to whether there are any of THOSE pieces of hose that will connect to the pump return hose - I don't see any of those with the right connection either?
I am absolutely sure at this point I am just missing something - and I will just go BUY another hose to keep connected to the fountain - but I need to make sure I get the correct one!
Help - I am thinking that INTEX probably sells an extra long pump return hose - but then I still have to connect/disconnect at the pump all the time....
TIA.
