I just got two letsgoride sacks in the mail today and the connections are different than the other sack I have. The LGR ones have female openings. The waterbed connectors fit into them, but I don't want them coming out because I have an automatic system where the sacks are always hooked up. The other sack I have actually lets you screw the waterbed connector right on to it. So, what is the best way to connect the LGR sacks to my hose? Thanks.

In the interim until you figure out something permanent, can you use wire ties to hold it on?

I have the same connections. Go to the irrigation department and get a npt threaded on one side and a hose barb on the other. The best permanent attatchment.

you can also use the flow-rite if you need a quick release.

Ty,
Does the sack drain alright having a connection like that since it doesn't have anything actually going down into the sack?

Mine drains pretty good! Not perfect, but I gave up caring... lol

Also If you use a self-primer it doesn't matter!

I guess it won't matter then, because I have a self priming pump. Thanks!
