Finally I reveal the purpose of the mystery pump for the pool.  I was waiting until all the dickeredness from the broken pipe union to get resolved before hooking this up to see if it would work.

I used to have an old pool pump (I think from an aboveground pool) that I "curbled" years ago, but it's main seal went out and no parts were available.

I decided to drop a few bucks on this Made-In-China (with pride, I might add) pump, but it certainly works, and moves more water than the old one.

It drives sprinklers around the pool, sucking water up from the pool.  Why?  Because I can.

When I got my inground sprinklers installed, I told the guy I wanted some extra stuff, and he allowed me to go onto the truck and pick out what I wanted.  So I got a whole bunch of tees and elbows, and some black pipe, and cobbled this mess together.

The plus:  It makes a hot day in the pool almost cold:  When the water sprays through the air it is cooled considerably.  And it's lots of fun.

The minus:  Burns chlorine quickly because the water is atomized, so it evaporates faster.  A considerable amount of the water doesn't necessarily re-enter the pool.
