My center pipe on my Intex sand filter is in shreds. Hub seems okay; laterals are okay. Intex is out of stock online and by phone. Help? The only places I can find it online are in Italy and Russia, and I'd like to use my pool before summer's end. :'( Any rigging I can do or other brands that might work that are actually available? I don't want to have to buy a new filter to get $10 worth of plastic.TIA!
