Ok, so I just went to my local pool store, actually went to 2 of them, and was told that Jandy valves are old and now they only carry these 3 way ball valves? (see pic) I was just going to order a Jandy valve off line but wanted a second opinion, they said these valves are better, are they...

Should the jandy valve be able to be separated? Does it need to be brought in in the winter?

That looks like that might work, good photo shopping skills too might I add. I think I can make those connection, just have to be more patient this time.

Maybe you could drain the water out, and glue in a piece of pvc that extends out enough to grip and unscrew? or maybe you would not need to glue it if you could dry fit it tight enough.

I thought that but could not find anything, probably because I am pretty much clueless lol. Since it happens whether or not I turn the main drain or skimmer on or off, although it is a bit worse with just the skimmer, do you think it is between my y connector and the pump? It my help if I...
