    The guy at the pool store is correct with the placement of the gaskets. The only place you need teflon and silicone is on the fitting where it screws into the threads of the return assembly. Do not put any silicone on the gaskets as it will make them squeeze out of place when you tighten the jam nut on the return against the wall. Do not put any silicone on the threads of the jam nut itself either. Hope this helps.

    Thumbs up Re: need to replace return eye

    NEPA, nice to see you posting! Thanks for catching the obvious point that it was an A/G pool - if the drips could be seen rnjng either has an A/G or X-Ray vision

    Rnjng - glad someone here figured out the real problem and was able to help! (though if you ever get an IG pool and have a 'sticky' eyeball seat - the advice I gave holds
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
