Went to install the pool cleaner , read the directions about removing the eyeball at the return.
It says also to remove the threaded fitting and install the fitting that comes with the cleaner.
Well , I tried it by hand, then channel locks with electrical tape on them as not to mess up the threads on fitting. No luck. Called the installer too see if the threads happened to be reverse threads . He said no, it should just unscrew. I am not having any luck and do not want to break the fitting. The inside of the fitting has two grooves in it , is there possibly a tool that fits there ?
Should I have the installer come out and try it ?
