Bubblers on tanning ledge are cutting our feet!

[voidpointer]

I have two bubblers on my tanning ledge. The water is about 6" deep there. The two eyeball fittings there protrude a bit and the inside portion of the eyeball (the actual hole) has a very sharp edge. Multiple times, people have stepped on those and got a chunk of skin cut off in the shape of a circle.

I'm concerned about the pain these inflict, because when we're running through the pool water, they're very difficult to see and easy to step on.

Is there anything simple I can do to lessen the pain these cause?

Can you provide a picture of the bubblers that are causing the situation?

This is the best picture I have on me at the moment. If this isn't good enough I'll go take some new ones.

The tan circle in the middle is an umbrella sleeve. It's not an issue. Just the two bubblers.

Was it specified the model bubbler to be installed?

It looks like your builder just put a PVC pipe with a return jet on the floor as a bubbler. Complain to your builder that he did not use the correct type of bubbler fitting for a floor.

A lighted bubbler looks like this...



This is made to screw into the floor...

That type of fitting for bubblers I am not familiar with and have never seen that installation of a return outlet used in that fashion.
Flush mount returns are commonly used but again they are flush mounted to the sun deck.
Can you provide a picture of the area that’s causing the problem?

I provided a picture earlier. Did you want to see something more specific?
