    Did you fix that picture?
    Anyway, I take it back, as drawn the Doo-Dad will fill the hose.
    I want one - how clever!
    BTW - Nice drawing!

    That's fine with me Ben, thanks. Always glad to try and help a forum member, as this forum has helped me so much! JCG, shoot me an email with your name and address and I'll get it out to you this week.

    That would be fantastic! And yes the diameters on the ends are different given the one end goes into the skimmer and the other into the end of the hose, I had just neglected to consider that in the drawing.

    Many thanks,
    Jim

    I did, with each comment that suggested a problem and prompted a bit more of the memory.

The diameter of the ends are different sizes though, unlike your drawing. One end is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, the other is close to 1 3/4 inches. It's been in my shed forever, and I may have used it once, although I really don't remember. You can have it if you want it. Maybe a moderator can help us facilitate me sending it to you. Not sure what shipping would would be, I'm on Long Island, in NY. Worth a shot I would guess. The price is right, free, lol.

    Many, Many thanks Tom !!!
    Also changed the drawing to reflect your observations (although can't promise the proportions).
    Thanks Again,
    Jim

    Now I'm curious... if there is a brand or company name on the device, please post. Maybe a part #?
    10,000 gallon IG vinyl liner pool, BBB user, salt added to 2300 ppm (because it makes the water feel great!), new liner/new water on 6/23/11, algae-free since 2006 (at least that's as far back as I remember). 1HP Hayward 2-SPEED CONVERTED Superpump, Hayward sand filter, PS234 test kit.
    Goal: To remain completely algae-free for the life of this new liner!
    Life lesson: It is what it is.


    12'x24' oval 9K gal IG pool; bleach; Hayward 244T sand filter; Hayward Super pump, 1 HP, 2-speed pump; 24hrs on low speedhrs; PS234; utility water; summer: ; winter: ; android phone; PF:13

    Too late for me to look, my wife mailed it this afternoon, you'll have to wait for Jim to receive it. Maybe the manufacturer's name is on it.
