don't forget go to swimming pool learning.com and there is a place for discussion and like others you can talk to David I'm afraid IPP doesn't have anything up about side ports, or anything else. HOWEVER I have emailed them and they got back quickly. BUT tell them exactly what you have and what you need to connect to. I told them I had a basic side port connector as I guess they are all the same if they connect to a gate on the pool. Go to Davids website and see what he has. He will show the gate I am talking about. and see what he recommends. What would you normally connect to on the side?
