So I was trying to remove my main drain cover to clean the leaves out of it. I'm not sure of the brand, but the pool was built in 1988 or thereabouts, and the skimmer is a Sta-Rite U3, so I'm guessing the main drain is the same brand.
The way the drain is built, it has a cover, gap between the cover and pool surface, and a basket that sits in the basin to catch large material. The cover attaches to the basket via one screw and a shaft in the center. The whole apparatus just sits in the basin, not secured directly to it. Well, it's old, brittle, and it broke when I tried pulling it out. So that's great. I tried looking for it online but I couldn't find anything. I'm hoping someone knows more about this stuff than I do. Has anyone seen something that sounds like this? Is there somewhere that sells obsolete pool parts? Is there a retrofit? This is the cover of the drain with the post that attaches to the basket, if it helps. No branding on the plastic anywhere.
