Billy,
I'm sure those hoses are UV rated.
What I
should have said was (I've underline the two phrases I swapped around) "I doubt

flexible hose either."
Yes, those do look like fitted hydraulic hoses, but that pump looks like it should be connected with PVC ... that was my intent. Obviously I stated it backward.
Jerome,
I see the fitting that clamp is clamping to the pipe now, missed that before.
*ALL* equipment should be securely anchored down. If needed, iso pads (vibration isolation pads) are used between the equipment and the mounting pad/stand to cut down on vibration (which would not likely be needed there).
The filter should be secured down at its base - there are holes provided for that purpose.
As should the gas pool heater or heat pump (if present), the pool pump (shown in the bottom corner of the photo), etc.
