What is this thing and is it useful?

Postby seaaggie » Fri 20 Jan, 2023 20:25

Howdy!

I've got an inground pool from the 80's and while replacing some plumbing i came across something I can't identify.

Going through the pvc pool return line is this rusty metal thingy. Is it a temperature sensor or sacrificial anode or what? Do I need to keep that section of pipe?

Certainly a pic would help greatly and if I can figure out how to include it i will.

TIA

Jeremy

All I get at the bottom is Options and Poll Creation. Does it have anything to do that I just registered and logged in for the first time? Thanks!

I figured it out - the forum does not allow attachments - I just didn't look all the way at the bottom of the page. That's pretty silly not to allow them. Thanks anyway!
