I can’t find adapters to connect this 2” lake filter and 2” check valve to my existing 1.25” intake pipe. Seems a variety of adapters isn’t available in Canada. I bought the lake filter on a whim while in the US.

Should,I really get a check valve with couplings for future servicing?

I previously asked about which end to put the check valve on. my pump is on land. about 30’ intake pipe. seems it would make most sense to put the check valve on the lake end instead of the pump end.…..to keep water in the intake pipe. yet many people on Reddit said to put it on the pump end?

This is adjacent to a garden bed. I removed the sprinkler head that was in the bed after it broke. not sure if the irrigation head caused this damage or just poor overall drainage for the bed near by.

how would you repair this? or is a replacement required.

stupid me. didn’t take better pictures. disassembled this in the fall. refurbished it.

cant remember where the final 2 shorter brackets go.

i have 4 brackets. 2 long, 2 short.

i know the 2 long ones support the entire back length as you can see in the photo.

don't remember where the two shorter pieces go. what I do know is one end had a wood screw and one end had a threaded bolt (with or without a nut, but I believe there was no nut). any ideas?

I’m trying this lake filter instead of a traditional brass foot valve.

I’ll need to add a check valve.

my intake pipe going from the pump to the lake is about 35’ long

is it better to put the check valve closer to the pump or closer to the intake end?
