To make a very long story short, I had all kinds of trouble with my old Pentair LA01N and found it cheaper to buy a whole new one on Amazon for $200. I replaced it last night, keeping the old hoses but putting new fittings on the pump side. It ran fine this morning but little jets of water were...

This is my first pool and my first pool cleaner. From the beginning I have hated the Pentair Legend Platinum I have running with a booster pump. When it was new we had a lot of trouble with the hose getting stuck between the body and the wheel so that it would stop moving entirely. Every few...
