Hey all,
1st post here... Thought I'd post and help out my parents for things they don't how to fix
.
So one of our pool jets (on the return valve) broke off and we haven't attached it for a couple years since my parents don't lower the water in the winter below it.
There are 2 return jets, that are very close to each other like 1ft apart, right next to the skimmer... That might be a bit unusual compared to newer pools which seem to have the return jets in more optimal locations on different sides of the pool...
Anyway they both point in one direction away from the skimmer so one jet still points in orig direction, but since the closer jet is just pushing water outwards, it isn't as optimal cleaning stuff on top of the pool I would think (the return valve with the broken jet pushes water perpendicular to the pool wall vs the good return valve+jet which points water parallel to the wall which helps push along leaves prob better).
Note: Its an old pool so it doesn't use those jets that you can point in any direction.
It looks like they are directly attached to the output jet.
I'll attach a few pics of my pool jet for reference.
I can see it was kinda glued back on multiple times be4 as there is some diff kinds of residue on there.
I was just curious if I could do this with the water still in the pool.
I googled a bit and I found maybe a product called Mr. Sticky? One of those solutions it looks where you mix 2 epoxy looking solutions together and they harden.
Would that be my best option?
