Hooking up a fountian to Polaris outlet

[rtpatter]

Actually its the adapter I want to get out. I have a Polaris 380 I think when it was installed the poolman must have glued the adapter into the outlet. I just want to be able to unscrew it so I can put in the fountain and then screw it back in later so I can use the polaris.

Yeah, I know what you're trying to do.

Try leaving the Polaris connector connected so you don't crush the adapter, and then use a pair of channel lock pliers on the adapter if you can get to it. Sometimes they are screwed in so deep that they are inside the face of the pool wall. You may have to destroy it to get it out.

In our shed that came with the house is a Polaris connector solidly connected to an adapter. In the pool is a new connector/adapter, so it appears that the previous owner gave up trying to get them loose. For some reason these plastic parts seem to weld themselves together over time.

You got it. I looked at the owners manual its the Universal Wall fitting that I'm trying to remove. There is a resrictor disk behind the UWF, that is what is causing my problem. I'll try your suggestion but I don't think its coming loose but its only been in there 2 years so I wouldn't think it would be that tight. If you have any more ideas let me know.


UPDATE - your suggestion worked, fountian is now working like a charm. Thanks for your help
