I've done the same as Mark in a few spots. Drilled a hole in a PVC fitting, tapped it, teflon taped a John Guest adaptor and threaded it in. No cutting or cementing plumbing means no down time.

Sorry for the crappy pic, but this is what I did. It comes right off my main return pump with it's own shut off valve.


It's a splitter valve for landscaping/plant irrigation. Works like a charm. You can get them in various multiple configurations and only cost a few bucks. Got mine at Home Hardware.
