I tried that one (fits 7/16" hole, 1/4" center hole in 1/4" thick panel) but the fit was too tight and once I got the grommet inserted into the tank it was not possible to insert the tube. You could try drilling the hole in the tank slightly larger, but Stenner discouraged me from doing that...

Just to conclude this topic, I decided to go ahead and buy the G3 from Amazon. It it is exactly the same as the old one other than a subtle sleeker styling upgrade. Since my old hose was still functional, all I had to do was assemble the head and swap it out with the old one. Runs good as new...

Does anyone know if there is a functional difference between the Zodiac G3 and the G3 Pro? The one I have been using is labeled "G3 Pro". I inherited it with my house and it has worked flawlessly for over 5 years, only needing an occasional new diaphragm. I leave it in the pool 24/7/365 on a...

The problem I ran into is that most of the standard grommets are intended for thin sheet metal and don't accommodate the tank's wall thickness. I then attempted to try and reuse the original grommet that broke by removing the torn flange completely and just pressing it in from the front. But...

In the process of replacing the tubing in my Stenner pump setup, I inadvertently tore the suction line grommet on the tank. The grommet is not available as a stand alone part (per Stenner) and it's been difficult to find one exactly the same size. Just wondering, does this connection need to...

Thanks so much--it's the answer that explains it. I had been trying to stick the meter directly into my pool as I do in the summer. So I put some pool water into my measuring bucket and let it sit. I then noticed that the temperature on the probe was counting down as the meter reading counted...

Hi Apera users, I have been loving my PH60 for about a year and a half for getting quick and accurate pH readings. However I've noticed that over time it has become more difficult to get a stable pH reading and as I've begun ramping up for the new season here in Phoenix it I'm finding it...

Thanks so much to the group for the votes, and to TFP for the generous decision to award dual winners. Dare I admit that the palm tree landscape was actually created by the previous owners, but was a main factor in our decision to choose the property. It was installed about 11 years ago and...

Palms in the desert

It seems like the pavers were used as coping. Here are some closeups at the skimmer. The pool was installed long before I moved in.
