Thanks for the info. I was able to find 2 out of the 3 items that I need at the above sites, however I can't find the Union Nut. My filter for some reason only has threads on the outside for a hose to connect. The threaded union goes on first and then the Union Nut goes on top of that and screws onto the pump to secure it in place. Just frustrating. Wish I had a more popular brand name filter/pump.

The way you described the male threads on the filter and with female threaded ring sounds like my pool (unless I misunderstood your descripton).

The threaded ring or collar you describe is straight thread (not pipe thread). It is the same as a standard pipe union for 2" pipe (at least in my case).

You can buy one at http://www.bestbuypoolsupply.com/plumbing-supplies.htm an djust use the threaded ring/collar.

If I'm way off on understanding your situation try to post a picture.
Good Luck

I brought it to the pool store and every union nut they had was either too big or too small. Just my bad luck. I do have a union nut on pump to filter hose. When it comes time to replace that filter hose I can just cut the hose in half and slide off the union nut.
