    done thanks,

    I know someone selling a used jacuzzi filter, no valve or laterals just the tub. It is about the same size as my hayward filter. Provided that my hayward vavle and laterals fit in the jacuzzi tube, any issues in combining the two??

    Sounds like a project for an EXPERIENCED tinkerer. Or, in other words, if you have to ask me whether you can do it or not, the answer is, "Probably not!".

    People do succeed at projects like this, but it's generally people with very strong mechanical skills and knowledge, who do it more for the fun, then the savings. But we hear from other who try with less skill and less patience, and in those cases it usually hasn't gone so well. This year, it's been people buying used AG pools "for cheap", and then discovering that it's going to cost them hours and hours and a small fortune to put it into use.

    I am not sure, but I'm positive that the filter clamp/ band won't hold 2 differently branded pieces together.

    As Ben said, a competent 'tinkerer' might be able to work something out - but, I wouldn't try it!


    Please keep it safe while you solve your issue!

    If you want some suggestions on applying the epoxy putty, simply ask and I'll tell you what I know.

    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
