what is a quick connect
Welcome to the Forum!
It's a threaded union that allows you to work on and remove equipment to work on it without having to cut and couple the pipes. As Carl intimated, they are very useful when you need to work on the equipment and allow you to bring in certain pieces for the winter.

Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
quick connects are sold at EVERY pool store and you can find them as well at plumbing supply houses. Home Depot does stock them, but unpredictably.
