    Replacing my pool cleaner, what to go with? P360, P380+BP or Robot. Please chime in !

    Would go with 360, why pay for more electric when not needed. All you need to do is add a 3 way valve so you can turn it on and off. one last note you can convert 380 to 360, you just need to get the bigger tubing and replace the inside piece where the tubing connects to.

    Polaris 360 moving but not vacumming

    Try holding it out of water, and see if the small jets are shooting water into the bag.

    Put $ into existing Polaris 380 or purchase Robotic cleaner

    If you are handy you could replumb your system. Using your main pump as water supply, plumb a new pipe where your booster pump went using a 3 way valve. Buy Polaris 360.

    Vinyl Pool with Vinyl Covered steps pool water level

    If there is concrete around your pool it wouldn't be easy to add an over flow. I like to drain pools 4-6" below skimmer. I think they maybe worried about the step shifting, if that's the case you could put a water bag on the top step to prevent that. You don't want to get water behind liner.

    Pump sounds like its on but no water flowing

    Did you turn a valve and now not letting water get to the pump. Impeller broke inside pump. Try filter on recirculate if you have multiport valve.

    Have you ever had this happen after a winter?

    I would get the water pumped off the top of the cover as soon as possible. depends on the age of the liner. You may be able to use a hair dryer to warm the liner so you can put liner back in liner track.

    How to attach fitting in pump lid for pool closing

    be very carefull you understand your system..its not worth couple thousand to dig up broken lines..in a pinch ive taken the shirt off my back wraped it around the blower hose, then put it in the pump, you will need 2 people for this. 1 to hold the hose in the pump and 1 to plug everything.

    Leak

    if you plug the pipe in the skimmer that goes the main/bottom drain, you will have to get in the pool and plug the main/bottom drain also. if that is where it is leaking. i had to do that to 4 pools this past year.
