Adjustable returnline inlets

[LucyP]

But should I have the pool tech back to do this or is it not too easy to crack with a wrench if I am careful????? I figure if he put them on incorrectly he should get them off, lube them and put them on properly so moving them is easily done whenever it suits us. I would rather not mess with them now unless you think it is a no brainer and they most probably will not break .

Silly question.... why are you trying to remove the eyeballs? If you you have one pointing from deep to shallow and one the oposite way that's right where they should be. That should create a circular motion of the water in the pool.

Oh sorry. Let me clarify. The eye balls are both ponted the same way, not the opposite ways. Is this wrong for my 26 wide by 38 long rectangular pool???
I do not want to remove the fixtures, but rather be able to adjust the eyeballs at will, or be able to unscrew or screw on the fixtures easily at will. Are they not made a certain size with the ability to fairly easily do that?? How else is it to be called adjustable???? Both eyes are ponting as far left as the can toward the shallow end wall, almost not allowing the full eye ball to be open.

Hi LucyP,

It sounds like you the the snap-in fixtures. Either call the service guy back to re-adjust - this way he is responsible if they break or try using a piece of solid wood dowel, such as a scredriver handle or similar that will fit into the opening and use a little pressure to turn/swivel the eyeball in the right direction.
