well - i'm gonna use spa-flex after the i inch union all the way to the sump instead of pvc or the ribbed hose - i feel better about it's design and lack of ribbing or conection area that might cause any resistance - to get max flow without "hopefully" any churning - spashing sounds ......much...

i probably know why you got it for free .... sorry but i think its a piece of junk - hard to keep adjusted and - actually , i never could get it to work correctly anyway ....i gave mine away ...!!!
