This drip irrigation setup for a tomato garden is all chewed up: http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13403753.jpg So I figured I'd replace it with something better. But what? One end is merely bent over and nailed to these boards: http://www2.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13403755.jpg And, the other end has this cryptic glued? connection: http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13403754.jpg I've never worked on drip irrigation before, so I picked up all sorts of 3/4" connections at the box stores: http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13403764.jpg At Home Depot, the guy told me that it's normal for the drip lines to simply push in, but this end seems to be really really stuck. Another elbow nearby has a NPT-to-Hose fitting on the end: http://www1.picturepush.com/photo/a/...g/13403769.jpg Would you suggest I simply cut the elbow off and start fresh by putting a garden-hose connection on a T fitting? Note: The plants are tomatoes, which are just now sprouting, so it has to be a gentle irrigation. I think a soaker hose may be too heavy - but I'm not sure what my options are.

27 foot above the ground pool is a damn deep pool, or did you mean 27 foot diameter, if so, how deep/tall was it????
