I have a solids-handling pump [3600 GPH, I think, or maybe more....] that I purchased from HOME DEPOT. No problems with the pump itself, but....
Recently I wanted to attach a homemade prefilter to the pump's intake, but discovered that this pump isn't set up to accept anything on the intake end [believe me, I tried every fitting I could get my hands on].
I assume that there are pumps out there that will accept tubing at both ends. Is there any way you can tell this when you shop [online]? Like, should the specs say, "accepts tubing at both ends"?
