you can only use these kind of push fit on un-pressurised systems, if it was pressurised i would have to use solvent to stop them pushing them selves apart.

no progress to day ........rainning and the next few days looks wet too.

It's wet here in IL, too, Whiskey. I wanted to mow tonight, but followed downpour all the way home. Maybe tomorrow. Hope you get dry weather soon, too! Good luck with that ...

Whiskey, when you get this done, I'm going to go through ALL your pictures again, so I will know what is where. Your set up is so fantastic, I wish I was there so you could walk me around and show me "this pipe will connect to this ..." and so forth! Anxious to see the window get installed. You will have a showplace there, and it will be so much fun to enjoy the fish through the window. Your filtration will obviously exceed what is needed to keep your water crystal clear. I'm so envious of that. :) Now, back to work! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

Marvelous whiskey, the pond is getting drastically close to the finish line! I can't wait to see the fish window also. Onward and upward!

Yes, Whiskey, that helped immensely! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it to me again. And, the picture helped as well! I'm really excited to see your water running, but know I have to be patient!
