That protects the pump from running dry when evaporation, a leak or a heavy splash out drops the level, which is the single most common way a pump seal gets destroyed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlumbing and installation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe port is 2 inch slip, so it takes 2 inch PVC glued directly into the skimmer.
