Aquahallic Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Folks, I'm currently renting a home that has a kidney shaped in ground concrete pool approx 10' deep. I'm renting the place and after speaking to the neighbors it seems the pool has not been in service for approx 5 yrs. so I got in the pool and cleaned and cleaned and cleaned then there was some tile that was broken and the landlord had that repaired. I then acid washed the pool and pressure washed the tile to get all the old broken grout out and then re-grouted it all so it's all water tight now. The landlord replaced the filter so I fill the pool and fire it up and all of a sudden I notice on the back side of the pool deck is getting wet... I go over to investigate and there's dirt being washed up through the brick deck right where the rear jet is in the deep end of the pool. So I shut everything down and lift out a few bricks and dig down to the pipe (black rigid pvc) and right where it goes through the concrete there is a crack in the top of the pipe it's not all the way through. I was going to cut out the break and splice in a new piece of pipe but the crack is right at the concrete and there's no way to get a splice there. The question I have is this... The jet inside the pool is concreted in... are these jets actually in 2 pieces as in... if I cut the pipe back will the center of the jet unscrew so I can pull it out and put a new piece in and then put in a new piece of PVC or is it one solid piece and if so is there a way to get the glued PVC out so I can put in a new one and splice that back into the existing good pipe in the ground? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanx, Aqua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
