Hey all, happy spring! I am preparing to open my pool (13K gallon, 24' round, Hayward pump, sand filter), and want to convert to hard plumbing this season. I think opening is the time to do it. Two questions: 1. What are the recommended fittings to use so that everything can be disconnected...

Hey all! Sad to say, it's end of season here in WI. This year, I installed an Aquador, since my house uses a well and I'd rather not put excessive strain on it next spring. I've currently got my winter cover on and the water level towards the lower mark on the skimmer, but am noticing that the...
