Thanks Maxum!! The pipe going from my septic pump up to the leach field uses this type of fitting and I agree they are fantastic. I wanted to use them for our fresh water feed as well but I didn't know what they were called and couldn't find them via google on the internet. I'll definitely swap them out when I put the pipe back in the water this year (hopefully sometime next week!!).
BTW our fresh water pump is a jet pump like yours however it is installed under the cottage (20+ ft above the lake level) versus at the lakefront. Is there a reason that you put it there? I've noticed that most of my neighbors have their pump down by the lake as well.
