Abstract
A main fluid pipe within a box-like housing has four auxiliary pipes connected thereto. Each auxiliary pipe extends to the outside of the housing. The first auxiliary pipe is connected to the drain of a swimming pool; the second is connected to the swimming pool pump; the third is connected to the skimmer and the fourth which extends upwardly is normally unconnected but closed by a valve. An adapter allows a standard garden hose to be connected to the fourth pipe for priming the pump and the swimming pool skimmer and drain lines. Chemicals may also be introduced into the fluid system through the fourth pipe. A thermometer, visible from the outside of the housing measures the temperature of the water within the pipe connected to the pump. The thermometer also measures the outside air temperature for comparison with the water temperature.
