That may work but it would stick out "into" the pool. And the returns that are in there are a TIGHT fit. I've though about buying a dye and just threading the inside of the return pipe also.

I'm right down the road in New Braunfels. Is that the nozzle you use for filling ?You don't have any kind of "regular" mister or sprayer plumbed into the pool ?

Our pool water (small in ground) is about 90-92 degrees in the heat of the day. We're in Texas and it's not even the hot part of the year yet. Only about 3-4 hrs direct sunlight per day. I THINK i wanted to put a fountain / sprayer on one of the returns BUT the return is 1.5 inch slip joint...

Have a 10x16 ish tiled pool. Steps on one side and a bench on the other. Need suggestions on a pool robot. Stand alone power (plug in electric) not hooked up to blower or suction.
