How did you attach a 1 and 1/2" flex pvc to this and to the rest of the connections in a solar pool heating system?

I used it with rigid PVC on a pool filter, but assuming the flex PVC has the same OD as rigid PVC; it would attach the same - use PVC primer, adhesive and slip together.

You don't. Get a valve with threaded barrels, installed threaded flexible hose adapters, and use stainless steel clamps just like the rest of typical above-ground pool connections. Be sure to use standard plumber's teflon tape (NOT plumber's goop or whatever) on the hose adapters.

plastic pump housing with brass fitted connections. I works great for me in a solar application. tony-western nebraska

Hi you can use 1/2 inch carflex or 1/2 inch cable clamps and run conduit from your "time clock" or "circulation pump switch's load connection" to the unit, and use 12 guage wires for power. (excess pool light cable works a treat) and remember it is factory wired for 220 volts. connect the wires with wire nuts on unit end pull on wires to make sure they are tight, wrap in electrical tape and connect solid copper ground from units chassis to your pool ground.

I contacted Garden Sun. They make a 16' extension they say works with this but I needed more so just bought some cheap outdoor wire and made my own. Solder your connections and heat shrink them.

I used 2-1/2" galvanized steel pipes with SS eyebolts for one side and attached to an upper story deck post on the other. Hand pulled the tie ropes. Instead of the ropes that came with the shade, we used longer nylon ropes, so it's easier to tie.

use copper 18 inches out both sides of the water heater. Then change back to pvc.

Keep in mind I'm just a do-it-yourselfer homeowner, not a plumbing/sprinkler professional. For attaching to PVC, I used (1"?) threaded adapters (wrapped PVC threads with Teflon tape) with appropriate sized outlet. Tape and tighten threaded adapters, dry fit PVC pieces then clean/glue. In my case, I assembled to sprinkler system inlet PVC first then to the outlet plumbing to assure alignment between Febco adapter/outlet and sprinkler PVC line (that is, between the downstream portion of the Febco and existing PVC). If you expect sub-freezing temps, I've used heat tape/insulation around inlet/outlet valves and body. Febco has downloadable freezing precautions.

My Sewer Solution came with a hose attached to the unit. At the other end there is a part that fits into the sewer line for discharge coming from your holding tanks. In order to connect to a 1" PVC, you need to separate the white adapter, which is connected to the end of the Sewer Solution hose, from the 90 degree elbow. I had to disconnect the adapter from the end of the hose and place the adapter into a vise. The adapter and the 90 degree elbow are not cemented together. Once the two parts are separated you can insert a 1" PVC pipe. The 90 degree elbow then fits onto the other end of the PVC pipe-which is rigid.

i mounted the center of the reel (without solar blanket yet attached to the reel), 16 " above and 16" beyond the end of the pool. make sure reel is parallel and level. i mounted 1 end on a deck and the other on a 4x4 sunk in ground. cut all your straps evenly and attach to reel and solar blanket keeping the edge of the solar blanket parallel to the edge of the pool. if mounted correctly retrieving and rolling the blanket out should be a one person operation.

Yes - the 2" appoication is with the PVC sliding into the valve connection, and with 2 1/2" PVC you lace the PVC conduit over the valve connection. The thickness if the valve PVC material is likely 1/4", accounting for 1/2" difference from placing the conduit inside vs outside the connection.

I used to repair a hole in a piece of PVC Pipe on our pool self stick stretched it as i was installing works great......

The assembly consists of the adjustable angle LED light and the solar panel connected with a power cable from panel to light. The assembly mounts to the pole via a 1/2 sleeve that also serves as the mount for the light and panel. The 1/2 sleeve clamps to the pole. The clamps provided are at least 4". I used black cable ties instead of the clamps and it worked quite well. I might caution if you live in a high wind area the arm that holds the solar panel can (and mine did) break off the housing.

I used 2 - 2" PVC pipes about 6 1/2 ft tall at the corners with zip ties to hold it in place

do you have a intex pool? if so you have to cut the bottom piece off and slide the 1/4/ inch pipe into you return on the pool use a clamp to hold it in place

I have 1-1/2 pipe outlets on 4 sides of my inground pool and they worked perfectly- they screwed right in. Also, the 1" opening is perfect for a decent size pump (I have a 2HP pump).

Matt I used a 1 and 1/4 " hole for my connection, but to sure just measure the PVC Connection that goes threw the bucket, the item they sent me is black threadedAnd has a rubber gasket attached to it to make the seal. I hope this helps good luck
