Hi All.
I had a small mishap when closing my pool last season. My Pentair Variable Speed pump has a 3rd party vacuum breaker installed on it (I know, but it is required by code here) This device screws into the drain plug on the pump volute. Well, while pulling my garden house I hit the vacuum breaker and the stem broke inside the drain plug threads. I attached the best picture I can take of it.
Any ideas how I can get the remnants of the stem out of the treads without damaging the threads or is a new volute in my future?
Thanks in advance.
Mark.
