HI ~ I have another thread but I see there's a separate topic area for these issues I need help with, so sorry If I should have ket this with my other one. Issue One: High suction. I vacuum my pool everyday. (As yet unidentified stuff collects on bottom) Last night when I went out to...

Help ~ I'm confused about what steps to take now. I posted new photos and a few questions in a thread about 'critters in the pool' but have not had a response. Maybe no ones looking at it, as I found the answer to that original question? Took pump motor in for repair on April 7th. At the...
