Can I use iron pipe to run to the pump to match the exhisting supply line?

My pump has metal male connection, therefore I think you can. I have pvc pipe, therefore my connections match existing pipe. Thread size will probably need to be matched of course.

It might be better to have a flexible rubber line as the noise of the pump would be transferred to the house plumbing through the metal pipe..

Best answer would be, probably not. You would have to know what type of threading is on your non Intex equipment and what type of threading Intex in using. This type of hose screws onto the pump inlet and outlet as well as the side of the pool.

No. I used what I had when I installed it. If you need an extension to the water line, go to Home Depot and you can get one fairly cheap.

The lines aren't compatible. I wouldn't suggest trying to adapt it over either. The biggest issue I foresee is the resulting pressure after filtration. It's not anywhere near the pressure coming from the standard faucet. Don't recommend.

Yes, great pipe for this bike. You'll need to adjust the fuel too. We used V&H; Fuel Pak and had to call V&H; to get updated numbers to get the idle right on the iron after these pipes were installed.

It should work fine. I have approx 50psi on my supply line and the float closes it no problem.

I doubt it, this pump is designed to be used with the needle that you can see in the picture. If you have the pump valve head that can be attached to the hose of this pump, then you might be able to use it.

That is how all pumps come. You just use a butt splice connector to your existing wires. Pay attention to wire colors when splicing together.

No, the cast iron pump and stainless steel pump are equal. The price of the stainless steel pump was pennies more when I bought it.

Yes you can, but it only can only be used for one supply line, either hot or cold, but not both. It is intended to be used as a cold water dispenser for filtration systems.

The pump has a 1 1/2 discharge outlet. You will need 1 1/2 pipe nipple and a bushing if your discharge hose is a different size.

I don't know off the top of my head but I tought the install manual said to use copper pipe for longer lengths. Perhaps someone can confirm that. If over 6 feet use hard pipe. With that said McMaster Cart might be a place to start looking.

I'm not a Plumber but I can't see why not, remember the value needs to open with the pressure from the pump, the water cannot be able to travel in another direction. Let's say it's the drain pipe from upstairs you are talking about and it also goes to the sewer outside the building. The water will take the path of least resistance. Valve works great, remember you need the pressure from the pump to open the valve. It is spring loaded. Good Luck

It is possible to use a different pump with this. You will need to make sure the tube will fit the pump.

I'm not a plumber, but I would say no. Not without you attaching some sort of fitting that is designed to go from copper to Pex style plumbing. I would use a shark bite type fitting to convert the copper end to pex, and then go from there. Hope that helps!

Yes. As long as you have a return line running back to your water heater. You do not need a separate return line at every faucet. You need one return line. Follow your hot water pipe to the end (last branch takeoff), cut in a tee and run pex or copper. At the bottom of your tank style water heater there is a small, usually plastic valve. Remove that valve and screw in a 3/4" brass or stainless pipe nipple. Then install a tee inline with side outlet looking up and in the end of the tee put a brass drain valve to replace the crappy plastic one if applicable. The side connection on the tee you installed is where you will connect your return line you just ran. I did not notice if this pump had a built in check valve but if not you may want one to prevent water from flowing through both the hot water main and the hot water return to the faucet nearest the end. Water will follow the path of least resistance so the last branch on the main usually ends up being similar in distance to the water heater from either line. As a result water can back feed up the return line and will bring the cold water entering the tank with it. This is especially true when a second source of hot water is being used at the same time hence the need for a check valve.

It may be possible, but the impression I got when I contacted the company was that they did not provide support for this model. I intend to rewire the base so I can turn on the vacuum/blower with an external switch. Then I can use any iron.
