    Dirt accumulation where wall meets bottom and on steps

    That would take a lot of time and effort which I am not capable of at my age. I was thinking of an electric vac at the end of the pole that I could just vacuum the deep parts or alternatively if there is some sort of sock I can put in the skimmer basket and just vacuum with the hose attached to...

    Need Help with Spa Problem 1998 Sundance Altamar

    I hope there are some technicians on this site. My 1998 Sundance Altamar model 850 is not supplying power to the circ pump or the ozonator. I have replaced the circ pump, ozonator, flow switch and checked all fuses for continuity. All are good. There are no flow restrictions in the system. The...

    Which way is the water flowing from this diverter

    Ah....good question! One of those pipes go to a return that is at the pool steps to give a massage effect and to keep sand off the steps. But those fittings were constantly breaking and this year I got new pavers over the pool which I no longer want to dig up to repair. Yet someone recently...

    Which way is the water flowing from this diverter

    I am going to be removing this diverter and only using one of the lines back to the pool because I am eliminating the return that goes to the pool steps. The other return goes to the returns across from the filter intakes. Sorry for the ignorant question but I am not familiar with this valve...

    How to remove a fitting from pool steps and seal off the hole and make it look NICE

    This is an adjunct to a previous thread. I have attached a picture of pool return and aeration jets on my black pool steps I have decided to eliminate them. I will set the current diverter up so that no water is sent their way. Then I will remove the return jets and aerator fittings from the...

    Jets and aerators on pool steps???? Why?

    At this point, I am thinking of just eliminating them and removing the diverter that sends water to them. Then patching the steps so it looks nice. Then I will never need t worry about a leak again. The LAST thing I want is to have to take apart a nice pool surround paver job to fix another...

    Jets and aerators on pool steps???? Why?

    Hi Allen, Thank you for that info, but if you read my first post, it described the pool, the dimensions, the age wasn't mentioned but I would say 20 years because I wasn't here when it was put in. The liner is about 2 years. The photos you need are posted at the original post. Thank you for your...

    Jets and aerators on pool steps???? Why?

    Allen, I cannot thank you enough for your thoughtful, prompt and helpful answer. It's people like you that help people like me understand what issues I am working with. I'm getting up there in years and I remember the show "Columbo" and when the detective would leave he would always show up back...

    Jets and aerators on pool steps???? Why?

    My 20 x 40 inground has aerators intake and jets on both sides of the steps. They have broken twice (leaked) on one side and the second time it was repaired the tech suggested that it just be plugged off. There is a diverter near the filter that directs the return water flow to either those jets...
