Installation Notes
- Shut the pump off before servicing return fittings.
- Confirm you have an AquaTrol RJ return-jet style setup (not a hose/pipe fitting-only configuration).
- Inspect nearby O-rings/gaskets and replace any flattened or cracked seals to prevent repeat leaks.
- Do not overtighten plastic fittings—snug and properly aligned is best.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect return fittings seasonally for hairline cracks and UV brittleness—small cracks can become leaks quickly.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to reduce scaling that can stress fittings and restrict flow.
- If you remove the fitting for service, clean the sealing surfaces and replace worn O-rings instead of reusing flattened seals.
- Make sure the return stream is aimed to promote circulation (often across the surface toward the skimmer, depending on pool layout).
