How to attach a pool filter to a paddling pool.
I have acquired an 8fit paddling pool (PVC canvas) as well as filter pump
(for the kids...obviously). However the pool has no inlet/outlet flanges (is that the corect term) below water level to connect the filter pump to. The filter pumps pipes are 1 1./4" (32mm). Any idea were I can get some 1 1/4" (or better 1" so pipe goes over) flanges from that as suitable attaching to PVC/canvas. Needs to be reasonably cheap, I notice RS sell PVC flanges and associated metal work but would cost about £50 to make two off. Any one got any ideas how to plumb in 1 1/4" pipe below water level ? |

Shame the pump isn't submersible as that would be a solution. Its a Bestway 800 pool filter pump. |

MIght be cheaper to just to buy a cheap submersible pump? Pond supplies do various flanges for bottom drains and the like so you could search for those. |
