And to think when I read the title to this thread I instantly flashed forward ten years ... thinking about the little punks who will want to date my daughters. Thank God for handguns and remote swampy places ;-)

Hope the part works out ... and good on ya Tom for being a good neighbor!

What makes you think we are kidding? My down-hill neighbor doesn't like dogs!

I may be missing something here, what is the point of that device? Just to fill up the vacuum hose with water? I may have been doing something wrong for the past 30 years but all I do is put the vacuum head with handle and hose attached into the pool, then I push the rest of the hose underwater near the skimmer. As the hose is pushed into the water, the water rises into the hose till it comes out the end. Then I plug it into the skimmer. I suppose with an extremely long hose, maybe it would be more difficult.

It's probably a solution in search of a problem (the tool) but it just looks "cool" and I'd like to see one-- but probably would NOT spend money for it.

Just FYI -- some pool pumps, and some installations have very poor self-priming capability. Typical methods of filling a vac hose can put enough air in these installations to be a real problem. (One of the benefits of the old-school Hayward Super Pump is that it has EXCELLENT self-priming capability.)

Hey Jim,

Did you receive the piece I mailed to you yet? I mailed it last Monday, it should be there by now.
