What if my return isn't threaded? Is there some kind of adapter I can use?

go to this link for poolskim and at the bottom you will need to purchase either the 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch adapter depending on your return size. It was worth every penny no more floating leaves in my pool http://www.poolskimusa.com/install.htm

This is but you might have to drain your pool to glue it in unless there some kind of water resultant glue I don't know about

The adapter you will need is $50 (slightly more with shipping I imagine) - thanks to Floridasmile for providing that link with the info...I would have probably bought this without knowing that otherwise, and would have been disappointed to have to pay 50% of skimmer cost on top, just for an adapter. OTOH I bought a floating fountain that attaches to one of my returns (also not threaded, just plaster), and was able to get that to work somehow (and they had multiple adapters included with fountain, all of which assumed a threaded return). Maybe I could do the same with this.

I had the same issue to the point of having returned one for an exchange in which customer service was extremely helpful. When my exchange arrived, I had the same issue again. I decided to apply a strong pull outward giving up occasionally for fear it would break in half. I did not want to set myself up to not be able to return it for a refund but I really liked the monitor and still do. Eventually, I just applied a little extra strength to my pull and it worked. Just keep trying until it gives. I was personally surprised when it loosened because the base mechanism upon inspection did not even appear as if it was designed to adjust. Good luck! I hope this helps.

I know that if you try and get a new one from Amazon, they will make you return the whole product and it's usually extra time and trouble. I would just take your one good screw to the hardware store and try and find a similar sized one.

Ask Big Mike for a REPLACEMENT. You should not have to pay for return. If that doesn't work, have Amazon resolve issue. Amazon may just make a refund, especially if you are a prime customer.

YES. . .only inside the threads are 'reversed' Left Hand. On this adapter, both outside threads are right hand [on/in]

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

Amazon has always accepted returnd of thie type in the past. I see no reason why you would not be able to obtain a refund or new unit...

I didn't have any trouble. All the hooks were accounted for. Like you said, you might have gotten a defect, and maybe you can exchange it.

No. Doesn't use a threaded connection. Buy flexible plastic tubing at hardware store and insert over discharge orifice.

One thing you can try is to heat up it and unscrew. If it doesn't work, wrap it with something to protect the threads and use a pair of pliers to unscrew. If top of the adapter is high enough than 3/8 screw, use a kind of blade to use it as screw driver, using two notches. I hope this would be a help.

I did not, but there is another piece you can buy - an adapter that may help you. Good luck!

First, contact the manufacturer, and also check the exchange policy. If that fails try WD-40, back-threading and gently re-threading. CJE

We would suggest contacting the manufacturer for technical support. Or if within the sellers policy you may be able to exchange the item.

If you bought it from amazon, just return it for an exchange. it's the best way

I would suggest you contact the company for a possible exchange. Different models take different adapters.

The easiest answer is it goes to ati's free float tubes. It's threads are not designed to fit others. ATI has a great customer service if you need to call them.

Your car should have R134 service ports. Not threads. I bought adapters that were also on amazon
