All the parts shown and many more hoses and couplings are available in our shop. The clamp connectors and PE pipes: https://www.ebay.de/itm/PP-Fitting-Kl... The suction basket: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Fusventil-Mes... And Teflon tape for sealing the threads: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Teflon-Band-1... About the video: Most foot valves made in the Far East only have a limited lifespan - which can cause some trouble for the owner of the well. Here I show the construction and assembly of a suction connection with a brass suction basket and PE pipe instead of a cheap valve and PVC hose. So that your well runs for a long time and doesn't cause any trouble. Unfortunately, the camera battery ran out shortly before the end. What is still missing in the video is the connection to the pump, but that is the easiest part and shouldn't really cause any problems. - I would recommend screwing a PP clamp connector onto a Kamlock coupling and attaching the counter coupling to the pump. This way, if necessary, you can disconnect the pump from the line without much fiddling and you don't always have to unscrew the clamp connector, which the parts can't handle indefinitely. PS: What I forgot to mention in the video is that the suction strainer offers a much higher passage due to its spherical design, and is therefore simply better than the cylindrical check valves.
