Thanks, again! I am currently using an infusion v-fitting although i am not sure why. Must have read something cool about it sometime and believed it. I will try removing it.

1 more question: could I restrict the water flow at the inlet where there is already a valve to both help the hose at the outlet not come off AND hopefully help the filter work, or is that not a good idea or possible? Thanks again.

Thank you! The pump is not a 2-speed model, so I think I will try your adding a valve at the outlet solution for the time being as I look into hard plumbing at the end of the season and maybe a smaller pump so the filter might actually filter out gunk:)

Thank you for your response! Here's an updated picture...hose still comes off, but it stayed on for 10 minutes.

I have been using this for 4 years and have the same problems every year to various degrees. Usually, I am able to get the hoses to stay on for a period of time by adjusting cinder blocks under the hoses by the places they attach, adding offset clamps, etc.. , but this last week I have not had...

The pressure gauge on the filter isn't working... but the return jet has tons of pressure...feels like a super powerful hot tub jet.

Here's a picture of the filter set-up if that helps. The hose that comes off the most often is marked 1 and the hose that comes off the 2nd most is marked 2.

It's the pump and filter that came with the pool as a "package deal" from an outdoor store (The Great Escape). It's my first pool (which I love the swimming part of it:), but I am definitely wishing I discovered this site BEFORE purchasing my pool.

I would appreciate any help, thoughts, suggestions anyone has to offer. Here's my situation. I have an 12 foot round, 52 inch high agp (about 3,500 gallons) with a 2hp pump and pool store type flexible hoses. Despite purchasing new hoses, changing the types of clamps, and adding 2 off-set clamps...

Thanks... It's not the pump just my inability to understand the parts. i finally got the motor cap or whatever it is called off and tere are lots of colored wires. Thanks again - - - Updated - - - Thank you! It worked. The two screws came out easily, retrieved the piece I dropped in there, and...

At the risk of sounding dumber than when I did this to begin with....I am not sure what you mean. The power cord?? Is just to the left and below (when looking at the pic) of the hole I screwed the nut thing in too far, and the two wires are covered in black.

As I was trying to open my agp, i was tightening stuff and "tightened" this (see pic) thing (hex nut? Housing nut. Sorry- can't tell what it is in the manual), and apparently I wasn't supposed to do that because it dropped right into the motor (Hayward Pro-flo lx pump) I tried tipping the motor...

If there was one, I lost it because there is not one now! Since putting down a few cinder blocks for the hose the rest on, I have been able to run the filter for about 30 minutes at a time before a small leak (a drop every few seconds) starts from the very top of the hose right above the clamp...

Thank you, again! The pictures really help. I did place a few cinderblocks together as a base to rest the hose on and so far that seems to have stopped the leaks, but I am sure it is only temporary. The water finally warmed up enough to swim in (no heater since it is about 250 yards from the...

Thank you for the response. I am not very confident in my abilities to use hard pipe since I don't even know what that is, so I guess I will go with the other one. If you are still around, could you answer a few more questions? Sorry, in advance, if they are really dumb questions.... 1) Do I...

Hi, I would appreciate any advice on the following situation. I have a very small (12 foot) above ground pool, and suddenly today, while the pump/filter was running, I saw some water leaking from where the return hose enters the pool and then, boom, the plastic type hose popped off and water...

Thank you so much for such a speedy reply and for such a quick and easy solution.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

I am a brand new member who has enjoyed the benefits of reading the TFP information for quite some time but has never posted. So let me start by saying that I have read as many posts and pool school posts/threads as possible, but I am not finding what I am looking for (most likey because I don't...
