There is just one 2" feed going to all the wall jets. The smaller return next to if with the plug in it, is what I think is a single return for the Polaris hookup on the wall. I will know for sure in about a month.

The pump would pull water from the return side of the plumbing and pump it to the single return jet on the middle wall that you would hook up the Polaris or a floating water fountain. When they didn't use the pump, the hose would be attached to the main jets return and the single middle jet in...

Oh no. I appreciate your input. I checked out Jacks late last fall and I will be ordering the test kit unless a miracle happened over winter while it was covered. Its more like a Grey color if I remember correctly. I used Vit C tabs in a sock and they would clean the calcium off the splash...

Thanks Jim. Im afraid the pool has areas that are beyond just staining and its a heavy oxidation. This guy seems to nail my problems as well. 1.0 out of 5 starsDid not work for me April 24, 2014 Verified Purchase "I have a salt water pool that has black stains in the plaster, these...

Scaping with a screw driver does get rid of a lot of it, but the oxidation is very deep. I have found tons of pool additives the old owners should never have needed IMO. I used a metal removal solution, but don't know if it had any benefits. The pool has a Heater/Chiller noted in the pics...

Thanks for the replies. It does not come off period, even with a stainless scrubber. Vitamin C tabs, dont do anything much to speak of either. When we opened the pool last year, it was worse and the PH was extremely high. We brought it down over time, and I think the black started receding, but...

Thanks Jimmy. You can see where I put a plug in the return line. However, the other side broke off from becoming brittle. I don't use the smaller pump since we bought an electric Dolphin cleaner.

Hello and thanks for the help. I have about a 10 year old pool that once used a smaller additional pump to run an old Polaris. It had a flexible hose that could be attached from that pump to the single return line for that Polaris. When the Polaris pump was not in use, the flexible line would...
