Still waiting patiently on announcements on the 20000, seems like only a rumor at this time. Good thing I'm not in a rush.... yet :wink:

at the store im running a few different dc pumps and skimmers, we just hooked up two externally externally and on a closed loop system , sched 40 adapters fit the threads perfectly and they do not leak one bit so far.we have both of them on a controller to run 30 sec back and forth.


the dc pumps do have a small humm to them but nothing compared to some of the heavy ac pumps of equal size.

If you hold a threaded pvc coupler steady and level and use some decent force you can get 3 or 4 full turns onto the outlet. Mine is on 4 and very tight. Far enough on to run in sump and still sleep at night. Love mine!

Just got one today from JL And same issue with outlet! I can't get a fitting on it. Mine will be external on my closed loop. I'm kinda mad. Can't find any fitting anywhere in town that fits, My CL is down now as my Dolphin packed it in. No time to send it back to JL either, as I leave Wed for 3 weeks in camp

1 1/4" fitting will fit but you have to file the first couple threads down a but to get the fitting to successfully thread on. I have done it on 8 dc pumps so far with no leaking.

OK, You mean taper it a bit, right? Checking here and ya it's straight threads not a taper NPT thread.
