    Heater vs heat pump

    well looks like I need a cover Im only getting 82 degrees when its 95 outside. And my utility is about 200.00 because of air cond. House gets pretty hot when its 95 outside but not the pool even with the solar on the roof BTW I don't think solar panels are all that great

    Heater vs heat pump

    I know this is somewhere else on this site, but I read thread was a long time ago and I should ask to get sooner answers. OK my temps in Cal where I live in summer are 85-95. 95 being tops. Pool is too cold for me at 82 degrees. So would a pump work since the ambient temp in summer would place...

    Polaris pressure side cleaner wont move

    ok I tried to move wheels and they are free but I saw a large crack and hole in the bottom. Do I have to fix them before the wheels turn properly? I plan to fix the hole, just wondered if that could be the main problem to make the wheels turn.

    bubbles..bubbles

    I do have 3 extra hoses so I can put those on first and then go from the next ones one at a time to find any bad ones. Yes I did place each hose in water to purge but I guess something went wrong so I guess 3 new ones and then check any others that I am using to find the culprit. I wish there...

    bubbles..bubbles

    ok this is what I did... I removed the pool cleaner with hose and it startled to really bubble up for a while and now it stopped. Is that a hose problem? How to check...go hose to hose or what do you folks think? I know no one has heard of a voyager pool cleaner but its vacuum like my mx 8 was...

    bubbles..bubbles

    Sorry my fault. I have a dedicated vacuum port on my pool. I connect my hoses and cleaner to that port I have had many cleaners but none work all that great and now I have one called a yoyager. It seems to work well so I didn't think it was a problem with the cleaner and this bubble problem is...

    bubbles..bubbles

    ok let me say it like this as I may not have wording correctly. When the water goes to the hose and then to the cleaner its ok. The other opening on the pool sends bubbles and lot of them. So, if one outlet is for the vacuum side and the cleaner is connected there which it is, then what is the...

    Booster pump

    I am thinking of a booster pump as all I have is a dedicated vacuum port. Is it tough to hook up? I have a plumbing background so that should help. Where should I look for advice on construction? Thanks Dave
