OK, trying to add a "water feature" to our pool, I snapped off one of the return outlets. I had taken off the threaded nozzle cover, and putting it back on it broke apart.
Pool was built in 1991, and the heat here in South Carolina I'm sure takes a tool on this PVC (if it's PVC). Name on front of the threaded part says "Pac-Fab, Inc." It looks to be about 1 1/2" diameter. There is a remaining portion of it still glued into the return piping, maybe 1/2".
Questions:
Can I find a replacement part for this? I googled Pac-Fab and found only replacement parts for filters, etc.
Do I need to drain the pool below the return to remove the remainder of the outlet part? Can I repair it "under water?"
Once I get the remainder out, is there a newer return type that I can install? Maybe one that threads male into female, versus female onto male?
I've added a picture of the return in case that helps...
thanks!
