Will do- thanks for the suggestion I will report back with what I find. Scott

Hello, I did the bucket test about a week ago with a suspected leak, and sure enough I was losing about 1/2" per day after evaporation with pump on or off. Got down to the bottom of the skimmers, then stopped. I Doubt the leak is in the piping from the skimmer lines, because both skimmers are...

Hello all, I have had quite the journey scouring the internet to determine if my air compressor will work for blowing out my lines. It seems like both HP and capacity are important. Some people state 5 gallons, others state at least 2 HP. Others say smaller is fine. Others say the compressor...

Rocco- Yes, I still get water loss when all the equipment is turned off, return lines plugs and water is below the skimmers. I do have a multiport valve, but it goes right to sewer on backwash. I have brought the water back up in the past 2 days so I can get the water clear in hopes of...

Shoot OK. Does it matter if the vacuum head was really worn and almost out of bristles?

JVTrain- Thanks, I was also vacuuming the bottom pool a few days ago, I guess it is possible I ripped up the liner somewhere. For the stairs, I think I have another 2 1/2 feet to get to the bottom of the stairs. Should I consider buying a new vinyl liner right away instead of dealing with...

Hello all, I previously posted a few days ago when things were going swimmingly! Things have took a turn quickly. A little background- I bought a foreclosed house a few months ago and the house/pool had been vacant for three years. I needed to buy a new pump, but other than that the liner and...

Ahhh, it all makes sense now! Thanks everyone for the replies, appreciate it. Pooldv, I will update info, thanks!

Thanks for all the information on this site, it has helped me turn my green pond from a foreclosed house into a blue oasis. I am almost there! I have a question that has perplexed me for a while. I have three return lines into the pool, but the middle one (pictured below) was never pushing out...
