Swimming Pool parts experts?????

[Julian]

So I'm helping my brother get his house ready to sell and there are seven intakes on the bottom of his pool that are broken and have been for a while. I've taken a picture of one of these and tried googling it and I cannot find a place that sells the replacements so I thought I'd ask here since we often have an expert in pretty much everything here. It's about an inch and a half to 2 in wide and is on the bottom of the swimming pool there's like 16 of them. This one is intact.

That is not an intake. It is a return, water coming back to the pool. It looks to be part of a in-floor sweeping system. They are geared to pop up in a certain order and push all the debris towards the drain in the deep end.

Definitely an in-floor cleaning pop-up head. Likely a Paramount or A&A. There should be a canister near the pool about the size of a basketball with multiple pipes coming from the bottom. Should have the manufacturer and model number on it.

Thanks guys.....I'll go find the canister and get the manufacturer off it...that will help with the search!

I assume these heads are as easy to replace as they look? Seems to have 3 slots in the heads which the proper tool would turn to remove the head?

Yes. Most just thread in.

Mark their location when you take them out. They can have different size water jet holes in different locations around the pool depending how much cleaning an area needs.
