    Save-T II Pool Cover won't open or close completely

The cover always closes and leaves a 1.5 ft opening at steps and when the cover is opened it leaves approximately 1.5 ft of the cover extended.

    Adjusting Polaris 360

    My polaris 360 likes the deep end and the edges, but won't go to the center, shallow part of the pool. I've adjusted the small jet initially to the two-o'clock and hence forth between 12 and 3 in small increments. I clean the sock when there is about 1/2 to 1 cup of debris. Mostly un dissolved...
