You are welcome. For all the free advice, its the least I can do!

You bring up a very good point...... Maybe I will abandon the hard plumbing....

The pump came with intex ports, that fit the include hoses and plunger valves.... just not the pool... I am thinking about just cutting the liner (it is reinforced where the cuts will be)... and using the following ports (not sure if that is the right word).... They have gaskets and all...
