Sounds good does it matter how they go back in? Are the notches supposed to align? Pools still covered but thought of this today

Ok great so I should probably always remove them so I get a better seal with plugs right?

Last year while closing I noticed air coming around the plugged returns then found they could be just pulled out fully. I hadn't had to do that in previous years. I was curious did some glue just finally wear out? What are these called? They basically just were pushed into the returns and came...

Thanks. Then overall, this just looks like a high PH correct? It isn't anything else I'm misreading or could be interfering with it?
