My Starite pump basket housing cracked. I removed the clamp that separates the wet end from the dry end. My challenge is how do I disconnect from the plumbing based on the pictures below? Will I be able to remove the nut from the output connection and then spin the input connection off?

This will be my second pool: First pool was: Chlorine (bleach eventually) Pebbletec Three, single speed pumps (filter, cleaner, bubblers&water wall) PCC2000 in-floor cleaner Cartridge Pool builder (same as first pool) recommends UV/Ozone as the sanitizer. My 1st pool had Ozonator, I'm not...

Sorry for the hijack. I will have my Taylor K2006 tonight, but in preparation for a possible drain and refill scenario...How much water can I safely drain from my pool? I live in a suburb of Houston and a check of the water table indicates it is 0cm (zero!) below the surface.

Howdy, I've just joined. Look forward to engaging with everyone. This year will be our 3rd summer with our pool. 1st summer was fine, 2nd summer I struggled with algae. I suspect high CYA and too little chlorine was the cause. I've ordered a K2006 kit, it should get here today. I'm...
