    Default Hooking up a fountian to Polaris outlet

    I just purchased the grecian fountian from Leslie's however the apdaters are not compatible with the outlet I use to run my polaris which has an auxilary pump. The polaris has an fitting in the outlet which you simply insert and twist and not thread into the side of the pool. I tried to remove the polaris adapter from the outlet but I couldn't budge it. Maybe it was glued thier since you would typically only use it for the polaris. So to solve I went and purchased another polaris adapter and attached it to the fountain hose. Which does solve my connectivity issue the problem is the polaris adapter contricts the water flow to the point the fountain only goes about 3 feet when an I turn on the auxillary pump. I also tried connecting the fountain the main return jet and put a plug in the other just to test and I got about a 15ft spray. However, I would like to conncet to the polaris line and get a 15ft spray if possible. After a closer inspection I beleive my problem is the restrictor that is part of the fitting that goes in the outlet for the polaris. If I could somehow remove the fitting that goes in the outlet for the polaris then I could hook it up just like I did to the main return


    Does anyone have any suggestions? Is the fitting/attachement for the polaris removable like the eyeballs in the main return lines. If so what can you use to remove it I tried a wrench and it wouldn't budge. I'm afraid I might break it if I apply to much pressure.
