I concur with AZIDE999. Heavy teflon tape. I used a 100% Caulk as well but it will be PITA if taking the motor off. your case you have unions everywhere, it should not be that PITA.

Power washing would turn everything spanking new. whoever did the plumbing is really care about the work.

whoa... amazing. this is my dream. I am a DIYer but for the scale of what you done is quite intimidated.

JA123, you have a single speed pump Hayward. if you plan to upgrade then think about union that fit into the new pump while you redo your pipe. otherwise, cutting pipe and put a unions at both in and out of your pump. that will save you time in future. as others had mention, there is no real...

if you follow JIMRAHBE and the water in the basket isn't going down dry then something is wrong with your pump. high likely that your pump motor is a goner. have you try to open the pump output faucet and see any water coming out? if the pump spinning, the water in the basket should be empty...

I talk too soon. at high rpm 3000rpm, the is small amount of bubbles fine bubbles in the basket. as I decrease the the rpm down to 2000rpm and below, the air pocket start to get bigger. i think problem still exist after I glue the leak coupler.

I check the pump curves (Jacuzzi and Pentair intellflo) and i don't see the PSI rating that associate with dynamic head, GPM, RPM. would you point me into the right direction please? unless dynamic head loss is the PSI.

so happy to see you can get that hose off. :kim:
