Maintenance Tips
- Brush around the return opening regularly to prevent debris and scale buildup.
- If the eyeball gets stiff, remove and rinse out sand/grit before reinstalling.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to reduce calcium scaling that can restrict the opening over time.
- If overall return flow seems weak, check the pump basket and filter condition first.
