~~ Update ~~

I still have not done anything.

But I tried to be macho and had my wife turn on the pump while I hold the hose on the other end.

End results was a mess and I got wet.

Let me tell you, it is a pain in the @$$ holding that hose and then putting it up.

Man I really want to get away from this hose. I was told that Home Depot sells some what like a water hose that goes from your filter backwash connection and there is a nozel on the other end that you spray like a gun.
Is this BS or not? Is there something like that???


Many thanks for all the great ideas.
