So I wasn't thrilled with the lack of a threaded connection either. WHat I did was cut the barbed adapter down to the largest size possible (1 1/4" I think) and PVC glued it right to a piece of spa flex that I had to warm up a bit to get it on. Worked like a charm You still have that quick connect with that little "O" ring to worry about, but I was running it internal, never had any problems with it at all.
Only problem I ever had with my 2900 was the one time I bumped it when I was working in my sump and ended up with 2900gph shooting at my face.... And my mouth was open...


Other than that one time I've never had any issues
