Thanks for the reply Pooldoc, I coincidentally had a pool plumber come and fix it the other day for $94, which was a lot lower than I thought it would be. I watched him do it. He used a special PVC piece that fit over some of the other PVC, which he said was a piece that the average consumer wouldn't be able to get because it was a size that isn't sold at Lowe's or Home Depot. Other than that, everything else was pretty standard and do-able. I was impressed that he was fearless in doing it, and that obviously came from experience. He had to redo things a bit from cutting a bit too much off and a bit too little off a couple times, but that's what comes with fearlessness and diving right in. He said next time a repair has to be made, if one has to be made, it's likely all the stuff that goes into the ground will have to be redone along with the Jandy valve (because it has already been plumbed one time on the inside and currently plumbed on the outside), but at least that hopefully won't be for awhile or ever. As long as Zodiac keeps making Aquapures the same size and DOESN'T change the size or way the couplings attach, then I might never have any issues installing a replacement in the next ~5 years.

I'll take a pic in awhile of the finished work and add it tomorrow when I'm on the computer again.
