Hello, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend. We are slowly making progress on our therapy pool set-up. Our current challenge is getting the elbow connector between the pump and filter to line up, be level, and not leak. This is a combo filter & pump and we have reached out...

We received new Intex step-down adapters and a new plunger valve. I will post photos once they are connected and can confirm the problem is resolved. Our next challenge is the provided union connector between the pump and filter. I will post that under a new thread.

Yes, the intention is to have a shut off valve on each pool port.

Thank you for the photos. The valve and adapter came with the pool and are both Intex. I ordered a different style Intex connector that should resolve the problem. It should arrive before Friday and we will use on both ports. I have no confidence in the cuff style adapter.

Hi ajw22, Thank you for replying to my post. I am still trying to figure out what I need other than the TF-100 test kit and liquid bleach. Specially, what do I need to have on hand when the new pool water is delivered in a few days?
