Attach 4" pipe to pool skimmer question
I need advice on hooking up a swimming pool filter to a 4" PVC pipe which
will gravity drain to a 55 gallon settling tank (along with a 4" pipe from my bottom drain). See http://powlusr.tripod.com/Pond/Pond.htm#Update pick #4 for details. I'm looking at three possible skimmers, 2-wide mouth (11.5" wide rather than 8") and 1 long neck (neck extends further from the pool, err pond). Would wide mouth or long neck be better? $49.99 Deluxe Skimmer - wide mouth http://www.wards.com/wards/prod_dis...&pp=yes&afsrc=1 $44.99 ABS - wide mouth http://www.poolstore.com/store1/wel...immerindex.html $46.82 SP1097 long neck http://www.cheappoolproducts.com/Sw...19~product.html Any suggestions on how to attach a 4" PVC pipe to the bottom? How do you cut the hole? Use a collar? What type of glue? Has anyone had problems doing this. I'm trying to save money, but would I be happier in the long run if I attach the 4" PVC to a regular pond skimmer such as the $145 Atlantic 4500 (http://www.pondliner.com/AtlanticPS4500.htm). -- Robin The Poconos, PA |
