Oddly enough, I did. I ended up calling the original company I bought it from and thankfully they have a new guy doing installs. The first installer was hard to work with and I swore i would not go back to him. The new guy came out same day and installed the next day. And get this, he was on...

That means winter is coming... Oh wait, that's a Raven not a Crow. Crows mean Fall is coming...

My pool build and all the specs are in my auto-signature. My filter and pump stopped working. I knew this day was coming and already have a new pump and filter. I also have all the needed plumbing to hard plumb it with cutoffs. I need a recommendation of someone I can trust to install this that...

Nice! I see a project for me! What size PVC pipe did you use?

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Next time you connect it up can you get a pic? I would like to see how you are vacuuming since mine is giving me tons of air.

If you can remove the lid while it's on you need a new pump. Nothing shy of a nuclear weapon will break the lid free on mine while it's running.

LOL. it sounds like you have dropped the lid in with it on too. - - - Updated - - - I imagine they will tell you to take the rubber flapper thing off the skimmer. It doesn't really serve a purpose except to keep things from being accidentally put in that hole. I am assuming the aqua-door is...

To use the vacuum port you need to turn off the filter. Take the clear plastic brown lid off the skimmer and fit it inside the skimmer and behind the flapper door. it shouls sit underwater and over the skimmer basket. Now connect your vacuum to the port and turn on the filter. You are now...

Anytime. Are you sure yours intended to have that? If there isn't a hole I don't think I would go drilling on it.

Ok, here ya go. The bottom "C" shaped piece is just screwed on holding that rubber flap thing on but it's not supposed to seal. I can't get the underside or it'll ruin my phone lol.

You should send the hubby up there and ask to buy something like a silver plated catalyser rod. When they ask what it is tell them you invented a machine that generates Chlorine from corn and it has no moving parts. Tell him you need the rod for the oxidizing unit, it keeps the corn from popping...

Do you have the deluxe skimmer? I have one and can get a pic tomorrow in the daylight. The port is not supposed to be sealed though. It just kind of blocks things from being stuck in the hole when not in use. I am of course assuming you mean the port in the pool under the skimmer opening. When...

Looks just like mine. I had an algae outbreak awhile back and no amount of vacuuming seems to clean that mess up. It is too fine and goes through the sand in a sand filter. I am replacing my sand filter with a cartridge filter in hopes of minimizing that dead algae being recirculated back into...

Will 2 gallons of bleach get you to 50 PPM from 0? I get about 5-7ppm per gallon but my pool is considerably larger in volume. - - - Updated - - - You might find this helpful. Be sure to use the 10mL level to test FC to keep from wasting reagents. Taylor K2006 FAS-DPD FC combined chlorine)...
