    Someone mention single maly scotch?
    I'm partial to 17yr old Glenlivet. smooooth.

    Copper has been used in commercial pools for YEARS, but as mentioned, not common these days.

    You may try researching Pasco Ram Bit. A little expensive but can do what you're looking to do.

    Anyone who's above the 15 year line deserves some respect, as far as I’m concerned

    I ended up using a 1" PVC pipe. After I shaved its OD down a bit with a belt sander, I was able to shove it inside my old return and from then on used standard adapters to build up my eyeball returns.
    This is my ticket for Heaven (when all's working..) :

    22k Gal gunite IGP
    38 SF DE filter, 1 HP Hayward Super Pump
    Raypak 350k BTU Natural Gas Heater and solar cover
    8 gal Liquidator with bleach
    Dolphin robotic cleaner
    Taylor k-2006 test kit
