Hi,
Having a problem with keeping debris out of pool because the skimmer is in the end OPPOSITE of prevailing winds, which are heavy this time of year. There are tons of trees and flowers all around, so it has been impossible to keep the surface (or the floor...) clear of debris. It all tends to get pushed to one end of pool.
I was considering getting a PoolSkim, which threads into 1.5" return, but I don't have threads in my returns. Or at least I don't think I do....see pics. One with eyeball in, one with eyeball out. The eyeballs pop right out (there's no piece that screws on over them but they stay in once opped into fitting) and all I have left are these fittings with openings just about an inch wide. See pics. What are they? Do they come out? I know there are stub expansion connectors by Zodiac/Polaris, but they are 1.5", so unless I can remove the fittings from the return opening, it won't be an option.
Any help welcome!
