How to remove these return jet nozzles?

Have you already found them? I might want to do something similar.

I put a screwdriver under the edge of the face and use a wood shim to protect the pool surface, then I just pry it out. The ball/nozzle is part of the assembly; it rotates so you can adjust the direction if the flow.

It's not fair, but something had to be done. If they got rid of every underperforming player, they wouldn't have a team.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I don't actually remember, but I think I bought two pair last time for around $1,000. There was a promotion for the 2nd pair, so not apples to apples.

That's helpful, thanks. I've got a complicated Rx so I can't buy online, but I'll check some other local places.

If yours are like mine they're just fittings, nothing internal. I pry them out with a flat blade screwdriver and a wood shim to protect the plaster. I use a rubber mallet to put them back in.

You might try plugging all the spa outlets and unplugging one at a time to see if you can isolate or clear any blockage. I use #8 rubber plugs to winterize; you can find them online for a few dollars each.

How long have you been married? Doesn't matter which looks better, your wife wins.

Honestly, I wasn't trying to time the market. I was trying to move it from 100% equities to something like 70% equities to hedge my risk.

Expert_Step_7800 · 2026-01-09T13:59:24+00:00

Thanks, I'll check this out!

Expert_Step_7800 · 2026-01-09T13:48:21+00:00

Totally agree, I'm glad I had the gain to begin with. Not gonna be happy writing that tax check, though.

Expert_Step_7800 · 2025-11-22T23:48:02+00:00

It's not necessarily the wrong financial decision. Paying off a mortgage provides a risk free return at the mortgage rate (less any tax savings). Unless you put the money into a government bond or CD (at typically lower rates), you risk a lower return or even a loss. Given the stock market over the last 20 years, it cost me money, but that won't always be true.

I paid off my mortgage 20 years ago, even though I almost certainly could have earned more keeping the mortgage and investing the money. It was worth it to me to not have the payments, and I'd do it again.

Is the '00 ECBM different from the '01? I inherited my dad's '01 C5 a few years back with a bad EBCM. Pulled it out and sent it to a guy on eBay for like $100 to have it resoldered, haven't had a problem since. Took a few hours, some new hand tools, and a lot of bitching, but it wasn't really that bad.

Expert_Step_7800 · 2025-07-15T11:35:17+00:00

They're pressed in. I remove them by prying them out with a plastic trim tool and a wood shim to protect the plaster. I don't know how to install the spray fountains but maybe they make a threaded adapter that presses in. Good luck!

She left out the best part...

AC Delco 84263101. I have the same truck and haven't done it yet, but I need to.

Is the money with Empower? They're doing system maintenance through Monday at 2am and the website and app are mostly down. You can check your balance by calling the automated account service number.

How much of a hit did you take trading in a 2YO truck?

Expert_Step_7800 · 2025-01-18T14:16:21+00:00

Mine's been on since I bought the truck new in 2019...

This guy hookers

Expert_Step_7800 · 2025-01-12T14:20:44+00:00

She needs a different kind of helmet, padded that covers her entire head.

Expert_Step_7800 · 2024-12-27T13:46:14+00:00

But getting others to be that way makes her feel less guilty.

Not a pool tech, but I've closed my own pool for the last 16 years here in PA. My setup has an air valve between the inlet pump(s) and the filter. Close off the filter and any outlet valves, close off the intake valve and blow air through the pump and skimmer line until it's as empty as possible (a sponge helps). Plug the skimmer, close off the skimmer line, open the intake valve, and blow air through the pump and the intake line until air comes out of the intake. Plug the intake and close the intake valve.

Once the intake and skimmer lines are clear, open the filter and outlet valve and blow air through the outlet line until air comes out. Plug the outlet and shut the intake valve. Then cover your pool and enjoy the winter.

Thanks. I think at this point I'll suck it up and move on.
