    Anyone else have issues with dolphis escape (or similar) not cleaning the rounded corners of oval pool?

    Have a 15x30 AGP. Had robot run 4 times. Does a good job within the straight edges of the pool, but almost non existant around the ovel areas. Tried starting it all over the pool, but same result! Sucks (no pun intended) to spend $700 and for it to work this poorly. It searching around, but...

    how to dispose of zeolite filter media?

    Just a quick update, I don't have the pool chemicals levels from last season. I haven't opened the pool yet this season. I had posted the question, because if I needed to change the sand, It would make most sense to do it before opening the pool. I did the deep cleaning that was posted. We'll...

    how to dispose of zeolite filter media?

    its 5 years old zeo-clear. Pool chemistry was fine and could not get it clear. This included myself testing the water, as well as taking it to the a pool supply store to make sure. Tried using 10% water salt solution as well as zeosand cleaner, but no change. cant think of anything else

    The liner is about 3 years old. Small slot about 1/2 in. Leak send VERY SLOW. only reason I even know about it is that one of my kids noticed it when swimming under water. What is the best way to patch it up. Haven't had anything like this and am pretty new to Pools in general. Thx

    Approximately two-year-old tork 1101B pool timer not working

    Hi, just opened up my pool and realize that the pool timer was not turning the filter on and off. It visually looks fine, the trippers go to the switch but never actually TripIt. I can turn the electricity on and off manually without an issue. The gears behind the dial look fine. The timer wheel...

    How to clean moss and algie stains from carpeted side deck

    So I opened up my pool and the side deck, which is carpeted gray, has some staining on it. What's the best way to clean this? Recommended products? I'm assuming a limited amount of products would b ok to use since you gotta be careful with getting whatever you use getting in the pool. Thx

    Leak where the valve sits on the filter. New filter. What did I do wrong?

    What I can think of, is that I lubricated where the o ring meets the valve, but not where the valve sits on the filter. Could that of been my mistake? It's on both sides where the clamp is tightened by the screw Thx Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm an idiot! The PSI that I referred to above was when the pump was on low. When it's at high-speed it to 12 to 13 PSI, which seems more normal.The water is now more cloudy than green. Seems like the pump stayed on overnight on low. I back washed it for about 5 min last night. So maybe that...

    After a few hours of the pump keeps running, but the water stop circulating!?

    After reading a bunch of posts, I'm wondering if I have an air leak or the impeller has debris! From what I've read, 6 psi seems awfully low. I'm going to look and the impeller hopefully later today. Anything else I should look at? How would I check for other air leaks? Sent from my iPhone...

    sure, no. It seems to be as it goes to zero with pump off and goes up a few lb over a few weeks (last year, this year hasn't even been a week yet. Let me know if there is something else I should be looking for. Thx

    Aquabug not cleaning whole pool

    Thanks. I backwashed this morning and left the pump on. I also shocked the pool. We'll see how it turns out. I do have to say I didn't rinse it, so I'll have to do it later. I do have to say ( and I'm new to the pool thing) that i sasw the pressure gauge say some where between 6-8 psi and...

    Aquabug not cleaning whole pool

    Well, I think figured out why it was missing a large portion of the vacuuming. The pump seems to only be circulating water for a couple hours, so not enough to allow full cleaning. I posted this under the pumping section of the forum, but since its related, ill mention it here: Have a 15 x 30...

    Have a 15 x 30 above ground pool to horsepower two speed water pump and sand filter. Hadn't noticed it before because I thought it was the timer going off during the time I get home from work. Yesterday I noticed that after about three hours of the pumping on, the pump continues to run but the...
