Does anyone have. Good recommendation for PVC pool pump repair? I’m tired of doing it myself.

Why do you need to keep repairing your PVC?

with so little info to go on, i'll just assume its cracking on you, so add a short rubber hose to give it flexibility and the vibration cracking the pipes will stop

things that vibrate or shake cannot be hard fixed to pipes without a means to cushion the movement. if your pump is not solidly fixed to the surface its mounted on so it cant move, thats your problem

Didn’t downvote anyone. Vibration must be the issue. Pump is not secure.

As said, you shouldn’t have routine issues so something is wrong. Another thing about pvc, is it’s not good to be in the sun. So you should try and shield it, shade it, cover it, etc.

But yeah if it’s not bolted down/ secured that’s probably your issue.

But lastly, why don’t you like repairing pvc? It’s super easy?

There’s also some products out there to make some repairs easier so I’d look into those. If you have one or two areas breaking routinely you can look into adding some screw fittings or something similar to make it an easier job.

I think the root cause would need to be addressed, be cheaper and easier.
