Only into the pool yes, and I have PVC fittings to thread into them with connections that I need. This contraption is for the lines between my pump pad and in-floor cleaner manifold, and the pump pad and spa.

I know, the supplier tried to sell me the hose that attaches to those plugs. I told them my plugs have a different thread on them compared to those plugs. They told me that can't be, then I showed them the listing on their webpage for my plugs.

I have compressed air, a shut off valve, and a pressure gauge (in that order) that I want to connect to these plugs. That way, while I still have all the winter plugs in the plumbing, I can apply pressure to each pipe and see if it holds pressure. I did the bucket leak test last year and it...

When I close my pool I use these winter plugs with the blow-thru valve in them. I am looking for an adapter, fitting, hose (ect.) that I can screw onto to top of the threaded stem with a seal so I can use these plugs while trying to find a leak in the plumbing. The external threads on the stem...

This year is first time in my backyard, by my pool, that I’ve got a pond with several levels of cascading water up and running. The cascades and water fall are made up of rocks and cement, with a PVC liner for the pond. I don’t have a filter right now just a pump that pumps water from the pond...

As swimming season approaches I was debating delaying opening the pool this year. In the past I’ve followed the advice here about opening as the water temperature approaches 55 degrees before algae starts growing, and that method worked great. But that means an open pool for 2.5-3 months or so...

Got it. Thank you.
