My old pump is plumbed with 3/4 inch PVC pipe. Can I attach the hose that comes with this pump to that PVC pipe?

Yes, you can but the best way to install this pump is using the flex hose and the connector that come with the pump. You are going to need to add one 3/4" pvc coupling/threaded connector to each end of your 3/4" pipe. The reason you want to use the flex hose kit is because it will take better the movement of the pump especially when it comes on and turns off. Hard piping may cause the pump to leak at the connections in both the suction and the pressure side. Be also aware that the manufacturer may only honor the warranty if pump installed by a pool professional.Good luck.

I had to attach mine to a threaded coupling but I would bet just the hose and a clamp would work.

Yes, the pump comes with a flexible 3/4 inch hose kit which includes about three feet of hose and four heavy duty plastic compression connectors, the connectors have 3/4 inch pipe threads on one end so yes you can connect the hoses to PVC pipe however you may need to buy some threaded PVC adapters. I've seen some people not use the hose kit and plumb the pump all in PVC pipe, I prefer the hoses because it takes up vibration from the motor. Pool pumps can run on 110v or 220v, they come from the factory setup to run on 220v, to run on 110v it's a simple change of two wires in the back where the electric connects, wiring instructions are on a label on the pump, I've had electricians forget this step and damage the motor as a result, before disconnecting the old pump check to see if it's wired 110v or 220v.

Yes. It comes with 4 quick release fittings so you can attach them to your plumbing. You might need an extra coupling but they are easy to find at your hardwear store.

I don't know but you can probably remove the fitting from your old hose and install it onto the new hose. That's what I had to do with my pump and it went smoothly.

Yes. It has a 3/4 inch overflow PVC. I have an overflowing hose with a clamp attached to mine.

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.

The pump ships with a short length of 1/4" hose to connect between the fitting and a distribution splitter. 1/4" is the correct size. I purchased 3/8 based on this answer, and it's very loose fitting.

The thread is a strange metric size, approximately M34X1.75, which matches nothing I know of. Easiest to just glue the 3/4 PVC into the pipe, with a threaded adapter to 3/4NPT, if you need to break the connection.

I don't think the threaded hose attachmentWill fit your model if it does u should beAble to use it!

We attached our discharge hose to 2" PVC and routed it to our 1500 gal water tank. Works great. At least one Discharge hose first, of a length of your choosing, then PVC- will give you room to shift the pump as necessary.

you will need 3 threaded adapters, 1 for in which will be the size you have, 1 out, 1 vent, the pvc pipe and fittings dependent on where and how you have to run the pvc, I used a check valve because of the height of my run as it keeps from cycling the pump so much. The install was SIMPLE the pipe, plug it in and that is pretty much all there is.

You would have reduce the 1 1/2 cvp pipe down to about 3/4 then attach threaded cuplin to screw the hose on. Reducing it down, don't know if hurt the pump.

I have the same pool for my grandkids,so you bought the pump and used the old hoses(i think 1 1/4 inch) and bought adapter from hardware store to fit from pump to old hoses Thanks Joe

I relaced an existing pump so I used the hose that was already there. It was about 1/2 inch but can't be sure. Sorry if its not enough info.

No, its 3/4" male for both inlet and outlet. Standard garden hose is 3/4" but the thread count is different, its much more corse. You maybe able to find a adapter... When i plumbed it i used 3/4" plastic to 1/2" brass barb adapters, and used 1/2" poly red and blue push on hose. Then put clamps over the barbs. The tank is really small good for washing hands not much else.

yes they can be adapted to 3/4in garden hose but it will not pump out as much water as fast due to the smaller outlet - however it does work well

The connections are different, but where the hoses meet the pump the diameter is (I think) 1 and 1/4. If your hoses are this diameter you should be okay. Search for my review for exact numbers. I am writing this from my phone and going from memory.

Go to your local home center and get the length of PVC PIPE you need and add the hose fittings.

Hi, there are a lot of parts that you will need to install this pump including 1 1/2" PVC parts. You'll need a three-quarter inch T to come off of your main water line. You will need to run three-quarter inch copper or pex waterline to the unit. I always install it with three-quarter inch pex it's much easier. To install this pump because you have to sweat copper and also have pex tools you must have some general knowledge of plumbing and some relatively expensive tools.
