Works great. Can definitely feel the difference in pool temperature.

I know, technically, it's easy, especially if you're a pro or handy. On the other hand, technically, it's not easy either if a blow torch is part of the list of tools for a regular homeowner. LOL!

Just curious about the 90 degree elbow join in the pipe where the water intake is. I have been told that restrics flow and cause the pump to wear out quicker. The mimnum pipe length going to the intake should be at least 5 x the diameter of the pipe. Any thoughts on that?

Why don't you use sand paper for your fittings before you use glue. Always beter to give fittings a light sand before applying glue
