How do I go about connecting PVC piping to my 183 EcoPlus pump. Any help?

I am currently using a 1/2 Rubber Tubing.

Does the barb fitting screw off? if so replace it with a pvc slip/tread. If not get a barg to slip adapter.

Any idea where to find those pieces. Since the pump uses a 3/8 piece I need to be able to open that to a 1/2 in or whatever slip.

I used an irritation reducing bushing to go from threaded PVC to smaller threaded irrigation barb. All parts available at the B (homedepot equivalent) but you have to visit different sections. Just make sure u are using the right threads in the right parts.

Got to get myself one of those... so many things irritating me lately...

If its as simple as removing the current barb fitting and replacing it with a PVC (male thread to female slip) fitting then any hardware store should have it. But if you need barb adapters try Lowes or Ace hardware they carry a decent supply of barb fittings. You can also try a tropical fish store, they work on pumps like these regularly and should have what you need.
