Running pvc from sand filter to hose to pump?
Hooking up a waterway sand filter to my Pentair pump. In order to make things work I am running pvc from the sand filter to the pentair hose. Basically a threaded 1 1/2 hooked into the filter. Then to a slip 90 degree to a small section of pvc to 1 1/2 threaded/slip to my pentair hose and to the pump. Seems like a few pieces for a short distance, but I had to overcome the water way connection, another waterway port that I had to go around and a short pentair hose. I would guess the pentair sand filters are much lower to the ground.
Either way...will this work ok? I have just cemented the needed pieces and will hopefully hook up later tonight.
Only other issue is watching my water level :-). We are getting hit extremely hard (very very rare) in the rain department, here in North Texas, this month. I have never seen it like this. Basically a mud pit where I had killed my grass in the pool area. Sinking down above my ankle and more rain is on the way.

MJS, that sounds fine. I've read your other posts from today but can't give any help/ info on them.
It sounds like you have a good grasp of what you're doing, if any 'hiccoughs' happen, I'll help as I can. :)

Thanks for the answer. So far no leaks, but I need to get high speed going to really test.
