HELP...I'm almost through with this *&%$ Aqualuminator

[matt4x4]

will try and remember to take one tonight as long as the thunderstorms hold off!

That is a good idea, I will have to do that sometime too. I never looked into finding a fitting that would fit over it. I know that they make an adapter to get you back to a slip pvc size, which is totally rediculous.

[rant] I really can't believe that they made something nonstandard that is made to accept something that is made for standard fittings (hose). [/rant]

I find that little adapter thing to be very handy. You glue it onto the light housing and glue a slip coupler over that and you have converted to 1 ½” PVC. From there I usually use the flex PVC as I love the stuff. It darn near lasts forever and is much easier to use that rigid PVC. If you still want to use a standard pool hose just get a coupler that is slip on one side and threaded on the other. Insert a barbed hose adapter into the threaded side and your hose well never come off again.

Thanks MATT,
The pool place I go to showed me this same attachment a 1 1/2 in slip union or something they called it.....I'm definately ditching the hoses next season. I am constantly stressing about "is the hose off again, is my pump sucking nothing and gonna burn up???".....

HRSDENNIS?????? Do you have the same type of setup? If so do you have photos? I'm interested to see the flex PVC. I'm sure my father knows what it is. But I like learning before he tells me.

Anyone with hard plumbing to the aquaheadache light (sorry, I couldn't resist) please post them.
