Says I bought this in February. It's December. It's pumping at half capacity with no obstructions. Not enough water to activate the heater. Did run 24/7 for 11 months. Disappointing? Yes. Unexpected. No.
No PVC in the USA will fit into these fittings. You will need rubber boots to connect.
The pump works great and is fairly quiet, however, you will not be able to connect any pvc directly to the fitting provided. You will instead need to use a rubber sleeve or boot to connect with pipe clamps.
I bought this as a pump for my 18 foot above ground pool. I used all last summer and now this summer 2021 -2022 and it still works great! No issues running my salt water pool.
Almost perfect! I got used parts for the adaptor for the hoses. They had black on them which told me that somebody had already used them, and they leaked. That does not take away from the machine itself which works perfect.
