What happens here

A hose clamp is first slid onto the 3/4-inch poly pipe. The end of the poly pipe is then firmly pushed onto the threaded adapter of the filter assembly. Once the pipe is fully seated, the hose clamp is tightened with a screwdriver to create a secure and leak-proof connection. Next, the completed PVC float is attached to the poly pipe approximately 2 feet from the filter end using two zip ties to hold it in place. The presenter also suggests adding electrical tape around the poly pipe before attaching the float to provide additional grip and prevent the float from slipping along the pipe.

Goal: Connect the filter to the poly pipe and attach the float to maintain proper depth.
