Thank you for the bump.

I have these concrete blocks about 3' x 1' x 2" that surround my pool and were made into a grill area. A year ago I power washed them to get mold off with a 3000psi electric power washer (Not very powerful). This year I noticed some of the blocks had even worst mold than the previous year, and...

Replaced the pump today, it was definately a bad pump. Replaced my old Pentair Intelliflow VS #011018 with a new Pentair Intelliflow VS #011056. It cost $1200. Anyways check out this picture of the old one, the whole bottom has corroded out. When I have time I will take it apart. Anyone...

Current filter preassure is zero, its normally at 30, cleaned 2 months ago. I am thinking the shaft seal has broken on the pump. I am probably going to replace whole pump tomorrow, then after vacation I will try and repair the old pump. It will suck having two pumps but I don't have time...

Update: I tried a bladder technique on a possible clog. It didn't do anything. I am 100% sure the impeller is not moving water even if it sounds like its on. Probably going to end up replacing the whole pump.

Was just out there. The impeller moves with a screw driver but not super easy. Also tried to put a hose down the sucktion side of pump and filled the basket with water. The pool pump is not draining with the lid off, this has never ever happened. The pool pump is higher by a good 2 or 3...

Thank you watching now. One thing I noticed is I don't even get any water agitation when the pump is on, even if its full of water. Like nothing just still water. When I watch these guys ya they might not be getting suction but you can tell the pump is trying or doing something. I get nothing.

I can try, not sure what would of clogged pool has been pretty leaf free all summer. Is there a video to show how to do this. You just put the hose down the skimmer and turn it on?

I have a bit of an emergency today. I went out to clean / shock the pool this morning because I am about to go on a 2 week vacation and I noticed the following: The spa which is lower than the pool and partially drained. I tried to turn on the filter pump and it sounds like its spinning...

Rescue30, Thank you this is the closest I have seen to what I am looking for. It is pricey, but I like it better than the Dolphin 330i because its commercial and it has the pole attachment. I have a stupid concrete table in my pool that is really hard for automatic cleaners to deal with which...

Those are Robotics, I want a dumb vacuum that I push with a pool pole.
