Awesome contribution thank you 😊

Glad it was worthwhile, yeah I have had 0 issues. Good luck

Thank you

Glad you liked it!!

good luck but you won't need it with good planning! thanks!

Thanks Mikel

I appreciate the positive feedback, thank you. Yes this is working great, have had no issues at all, because as demonstrated it is essentially plumbed using outdoor materials. I wouldn't expect any issues whatsoever, would expect a problem at filter due to failing valves long before any other type of plumbing issue.

Interesting. Do you know what kind of time we are talking about for shrinkage to occur? I have 2 fittings to modify so shouldn't be to big of a deal to address.

@@hugheymorrow When I was a youngster I had a pool business. And I was always going behind plumbers that used flex PVC pipe into PVC fittings as they would begin to leak. The time it took varied. But was inevitable. Granted you have little to no UV rays hitting the plumbing. But still I would not be able to sleep. Anyway... I will try to come up with a better solution for you. Think it over and see if you can come up with a way that the hose will "shrink" ONTO the fitting rather than the hose shrinking inside the fitting. Great videos by the way. Discuss look amazing.

Did you ever come up with way to get the hose attached? I too cringed at bit at inserting the hose with just glue.

Seemed to fit perfectly

No details though to correct me? Just a shame though yeah its shameful. Pinned you though, so everyone should appreciate your help and be saved from my foolishness.

@@hugheymorrow OK. When you are connecting a hose it has to go on male end not inside with glue. You have to hold it in place with a hose clamp. On the opposite side you don't put the hose on a threaded end but on male hose end. You can use a transition union. Ideally get all your dimensions internal diameters and all your transition pieces and just go to hardware store for pools and they will most likely have all the parts that you need. Avoid amazon valves hoses and connections because you don't know what quality you are buying and this can lead to a leak. The hose with the pin hole failed simply due to poor quality control. Basically cheap hose from unknown origin.

@@MickyMouseLimited i have been given similar advice in the comments on this vid, just havent found the right parts yet. Looking for these connection fittings I can use for this pvc flex tube, and this is good advice. Someone else was telling me about pvc flex tube shrinking over time so if it can shrink over the fitting instead of inside a fitting that is ideal. Still looking for the parts to do the job and probably make a 3rd attempt video for perfecting the plumbing and explain the reasons this solution isnt good enough, if I can get the right parts and make it work like you are pointing out here.

@@hugheymorrow do you have the updated video 😊

​@Calvin nope, no issues at all since the last update

yeah might find it 5-10 buck cheaper somewhere especially without shipping. Cheaper than replacing hand-scraped wood floors. All a matter of perspective.

when I go to the URL I see an amazon page for MaxFlex selling different diameters, you choose the correct one from the options.

Not really no, but my tank is drilled at the top so I don't need those. If you need something like that to solidly hold the pipes in place over a glass tank, consider maybe pvc elbows? something.
