    Polaris 360 hoses keep springing leaks every few months

    Thanks for the info - I glanced at Amazon - would I need a new relief valve & wall fitting or just relief valve? I feel like its getter harder and harder to remove at the wall so I may just buy all new parts

    Used DE from backwash discharging in yard - Dangerous?

    So I've been a pool owner for 2 years, but something just dawned on me.
