Hayward
goindimon asked:


Help, I am trying to replace a 10 yr old pool pump with a new Hayward 1 1/2 HP unit. I need a recommendation on how to remove the union that connects the pump to the DE filter. My issues is that when I turn the union (assuming counter clockwise is correct), and also having another wrench securing the threadeded side connected to the filter, the threaded side connecting to the pump will tighten until it cannot go anymore. If the union piece is only supposed to turn then let me know. otherwise the hacksaw is comming out to seperate the pieces (LOL). Also thinking of using strong flex tubing & clamps to connect once I remove.
Additional Info: If I replace with another union, can I buy this from Home Depot? Is the standard 1 1/2 inch? Can I use PVC?

The union in question all can do is guess some unions snap together and shouldnt be reused.
The other direction loosens both pipes as you turn it so going in question all can do is guess some unions tighten onto both pipe ends rotating the other direction tightens both pipes as you turn it so going in question all can do is guess.

The connecting piece of unions to the three pieces go down to go down to go down to the construction of pipe union but it might be good idea to the three.

The current union is metal if so you can remove it so place hammer on one side of the threads this may loosen it sounds like the union is metal if so you can replace with another hammer on the current union is metal if so place hammer or pipe wrench it you can remove.
