    Your pool store guy may be right (for once!).

    If you want to consider other options, post pictures of your filter & piping via Picasa, Flickr, Webshots, etc. (You can also email them to me, but that will be slower).

    I am having trouble getting my pic off my phone. I measured the valve and the bulkheads measure 8" center to center. Ill still try to get a pic up.

    If you can send it to a phone number, the PoolForum Google voice # is (423) 300-6560 .

    I don't answer it, but I usually do get a notification when a text or whatever comes through on it.

    I sent a pic.

    I am thinking this might work but I would like to know for sure before I drop the money. Plus I have no experience with that site.

    Looks like it might . . . but be sure to measure the spacing on the filter connections, to make SURE that they are exactly 8" center to center.

    Close is not good enough!

    Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. Use a credit card, and get a tracking number.
