Not trying to be a D, but can you elaborate? These things used to last YEARS!! Less than 4 years, probably closer to 3 is ridiculous. And if the timer keeps accurate time, what exactly is worn on it so fast?

So couple weeks ago, I went out mid day and notice the pool wasn’t running. I looked at the timer and the On Tripper was at an angle and I kinda had to lightly pry it off. The Tripper was slightly bent, so I put it back into shape. Thought all was good. The next couple days, the pool...

Can anyone tell me what they think could be the issue with this pump? It’s not leaking, I’ve made sure nothing was in the impeller, and pressure is fine, heat gun registered about 115 degrees after almost 8 hours (which I think is normal) but it seems WAY LOUDER then I remember it being…. I...

After about 10 minutes, I start to notice a slow leak on my booster pump. I originally thought it was coming from the side because of some buildup of calcium on the side, when I propped it up, it appears the leak is coming from the bottom because I don’t see water coming from the side. Because...

So, i measured the depth within my returns and it’s only between 6-8” deep. A guy I spoke to today said then that issue is probably definitely inside the beam. Which means if the issue is where we think it is, we would have to bust through the front of that waterfall…. And I’m finding...

Update: So, I just rigged up some fish tape w/ an inspection camera and went around the perimeter of the pool. Good news is I didn’t see a pinched pipe, or any massive bubbling up (like chlorine would have degraded the line or something). Granted, I suppose there could be leaks that I just...

It’s looking more and more like I may need to do this. The thought of trying to find a qualified person to actually find what’s going on, and then potentially having to jackhammer who knows how much of this pool, makes me a little ill… actually a lot. 😂

Update: so I dug about 2 and half feet down under the rock, and am not hitting a pipe (the pipe in the picture is the overflow). So, I know the rocks basically kind of “fold over” the shell of the pool. I would have assumed the pipes would have been run in the ground close to the shell, but...

So, a little less than 2 years ago (when I got pool up and going with new plaster and new equipment, after being drained for a few months) it was running at about 22 ish PSI with only the returns. Around 18 when the waterfall was also on. Then about a year ago it started creeping up… 25, 27...

I wish I could get a hold of the pool builder. I had some old paperwork on the pool (I moved back into this house after a parent passed away), but he’s long gone and I think passed away himself. This was built in 1993…. seems like this would almost need a camera to be snaked to find. Is that...

Okay, I took some videos and here’s what I’m looking at: Scenario 1) turned off return valve completely and only had waterfall valve open. Yes, the PSI drops to 19, but because of how I had to jerry rig the waterfall pump, there is WAY too much water that comes up at the top. Because of...

Thanks for responding! And I have thought about a potential pinched pipe…. I guess it could happen on the return side, but I would think that a pinch would more commonly be seen on the suction side…. For some reason only the vacuum and return lines were plumed flexible. The skimmer and main...
