Sight glass for above ground pools

I got this last year, and it works like a charm.

Just thought I'd throw it out there again for all the newbies. It screws onto the backwash port on the pump, then you clamp your backwash hose onto it. Perfect little sight glass so you, too, can watch your backwash water go from icky to clean!

Same concept as a clear attachment for the drain for black water tanks on campers. However, my filter has a sight glass on it already. That one seems redundant.

A lot of times AGPers will step up to a cheap pump and filter that doesn't have a sight glass. If you don't have one, this is a lifesaver!

Yeah, I can see how that would help without a sight glass.

I thought even my intex sand filter had a sight glass.

That said...........my Hayward 250lb filter has a sight glass but I still considered making something like this (just because).

Yeah, my new filter has a sight glass, but my current one does not. Just thought I'd pass this on to those without.
