Anybody have any advice how to attach a pressure cleaner when the returns are smooth?
I am thinking of getting either a pressure or robotic cleaner at some point. The previous owner of the pool had a Polaris Booster Bump installed with the plumbing when the pool was built. Therefore, I am thinking I should take advantage of having the booster pump.
I understand the pressure cleaners are hooked up to the returns. How are they hooked up? My returns look like pvc pipe. The returns are flush in the wall and not capable of adjusting the direction of the water. The inside of the returns are smooth so how would a pressure cleaner be hooked up without constantly having the connection dislodged? Is there some sort of attachment that can be inserted in the returns so that a pressure cleaner could be screwed in?

Sorry Shifty, I have no experience with the type of returns you have described. The returns in my pool are eyeballs, with a collar around them that can be loosened or tightened, or removed entirely. Maybe someone with a pressure side cleaner will see this post and help you out. I have an Aquabot and can tell you it works well, although it is pricey. Good luck.
