    Actually I found more discussion of the Kreepy Klear or Pure and Clear salt chlorine generator systems. Apparently they were one of the first on the market and the cell mounted in the pool over a return port with the wiring run through the plumbing. Expensive and soon outdated as cells were...

    Parts 27/28 are a Jaco fitting with grommet according to the parts list. That's what I've been referring to as bulkhead fittings. Aqua-Man Pool & Spa site had the schematic I borrowed this from.

    Last bit to preview for now. Photos of wiring I managed to pull from return port when problem first noticed. Marked Kreepy Klear as I now see while taking these pics. Upon a quick Google search, it was a salt system apparently and a unit was mounted on a return port (picture from internet search...

    Oops. The run from equipment to first tee is a guesstimate of about 18 feet, which my current endoscope can't handle. As I mentioned, I have a 33 foot scope on the way from Amazon with a bit stiffer cable that should do the trick. I'll post updated photos as I manage to get them. If it can see...

    That's a really good question. I thought it was just a part of the pvc tee fitting, but on closer examination, it looks like the cover/insulation on the two wire cable. You'll notice what looks like a white and a black wire in photos 1 & 2. As part of the saga that i didn't mention, after the...

    Here's my situation: Built in mid 80s 21x41 vinyl pool with 4 return jets, 2 skimmers, vacuum port, and bottom drain. Pump and filter equipment approximately 15-20 ft from pool. When I bought the place, there was a bulkhead type fitting on the return line just above ground level (between the...
