I have an older spa and it came in alot of parts. One part I am trying to get hooked back up is the air blower...Please see pics. I need to find a way to reconnect the long PVC to the hole in the side of the spa. I seems like there should be some kind of box or attactcment part, Soory about the poor pic of the hole but my camera has just died. Any help would be great as my wife just loves the little bubbles in these things!!!

From the "picture" it would seem that the port for the blower is in the top of the shell, correct? What I would try, is to make sure that you have as clean and as smooth of a surface around that hole, then go to your local home improvement center and get a shower drain (PVC) and try to glue it on over the hole using an adhesive that is for fiberglass and PVC both. I believe polyurethane would work, but double check the back of the tube. Then, to make it stronger, I would get some epoxy resin and some fiberglass cloth (automotive supply places would have this for certain) and add that to the backside of the flange of the shower drain. This would sandwich and bond the shower drain between two layers of fiberglass. Then, I would add about a 6" piece of pvc to the shower drain and use a rubber pipe coupling to join it to your blower piping, just to ensure that if you have problems down the road, you can easily remove the blower piping without putting unnecessary stress on the shower drain.

If I think of another way, I will let you know, but this is what I can come up with at the moment and would work.
