When we purchased our home and pool, it was noted on inspection that this one return jet was missing its eyeball fitting. It was passed off an a simple fix? Well, no.
It appears the PVC pipe has somewhat receded from the concrete under the ground such that I cannot get a threaded 1.5” fitting on it.
I tried a slip-in style fitting, but it was tight and would not stay with the water flow from the jets.
What should I do? I’ve thought of lightly sanding down a 1.5” slip-in style fitting to make the diameter slightly smaller and using a water safe glue…. I’d rather not drain the pool below the jet level since it’s spring time. I really want to have a miracle eyeball to direct my jet water flow toward my skimmer.
Thanks in advance!
