I'm mid construction of swapping out my old intex sand pump for this new hayward 21" with 1.5hp pump..
The waste port on my old intex had a cap that fit over the waste hole.. the new hayward didnt come with such a thing..
I found this pic on here of one possible pvc arrangement to at least redirect the flow and/or attach a hose to the end (slip on with clamp maybe?)..
I'm not sure if ill need to attach a hose, depending on how strong the new waste stream is when it exits but i may.. i'd want to add maybe a 6 foot hose extension.. not sure if the hoses (not using) that came with the hayward could be used or if id need to buy some "flat" hose to attach.
If i route the pvc as shown, seems there will still be no way to shut off the port just in case of leakage? Should i add a ball valve to this pvc arrangement or are there other options i havent thought of? I see some have some sort of plunger shut off valve on them as well.
I'm thinking ill just add the ball valve close to the port maybe 6" away and extend pvc in the best direction, maybe add a slip on hose to the mix later if need be.
Thanks in advance
