Hi all, thanks for the input. I hope I've inserted these images correctly; here are a few examples of this light plant debris. As others have noted, the junk particularly gets pushed up above the waterline by breezes, wave action, and evaporation over time, and it's all around the pool. I...

Hi all, I continually have light flowers, small leaves and other floating plant debris sticking to my waterline tile rather than ending up in the skimmers. It's a huge pain every time we want to swim. Has anyone found a good method or device for dealing with this on an automated/ongoing...

Yeah, I think I’ll seal the replacement ones. Thanks! I’m surprised and nervous now about the Racer. Knock wood I haven’t had any problems with it yet. What kinds of things should I be expecting? (Yikes) Given I now have the Racer and booster pump (which were recommended and installed by our...

Done! :D

Hi all, I've been a long-time lurker, but finally registered to be able to say thank you to everyone for the great advice! Yesterday I spent a fair amount of time trying to diagnose what I thought was an issue with my filter, to no avail. I did a bunch of research on TFP this morning, and with...
