Hope everybody had a great summer.
poolmiser autofill took a hit sometime midsummer. crack in the cylinder in the top 1/4. it is NOT mounted in the pool deck and prob a lawn mower wheel. Luckily they make an extension and i was able to use a dremel and make a 360 cut from the inside and glue the flanged extension on without much problems. thought i would replace the valve as i was doing all this. have problems getting the stem to totally seat in the cylinder. it's been a problem before and hand tight isn't quite enough.
i'm curious if there is a known tool that will slide over the stem and engage the fins on the bottom collar to gently tighten this up from the top?
thanks all. advice appreciated
