Finally got winter pump working

Purchased a cheap pump to circulate the water in a winterized pool, so I could l add acid to lower the PH. My first attempt I connected heavy duty flex PVC which was a disaster. The hoses were stiff and difficult to straighten or maneuver around the pool. They were also heavy and kept tipping over the pump. Then I got some vacuum hoses and some flex pvc couplings 2x1 1/2”. These worked perfectly after some adjusting. So I have 2” pvc with unions on the pipes connected to the pump. The flex couplers and vacuum hoses attached to the 2” PVC. I can see I have pretty good circulation in the pool. I also brushed the pool after adding the acid. Just wanted to share if anyone else is looking for a solution to this problem. I couldn’t find much out there about it.
