    Default Time for a new pump

    I have a Hayward 1.5 Super Pump that's making a lot of noise. I bought the house with the pool last year and I left the pump/motor out all winter so I figure the bearings are old and rusty and it's time to replace it. The pump is connected to the PVC piping using glue/PVC cement.
    Question: What's the best way to connect to the plumbing so you can remove the pump in the winter?

    you could just cut the pipes and put a rubber mission coupling in there. it has two hose clamps on it that you may tighten down. Or you could cut out whatever the take off is for a Union and put it in there.

    Thanks. I was figuring something like a rubber sleeve with clamps.

    Similar to the rubber couplings mentioned by sevver I use straight sections of auto radiator hose of the right diameter and hose clamps. Stuff is reinforced and designed for high temperature and 15 psi pressure and seems to last forever. Probably 6-7th season on mine now and no noticeable deterioration.
