Thanks for reading this and thanks for any advice you may have. I had a 1.5HP horizontal discharge Proline pump matched to a Proline cartridge filter that went bad - it's been screeching for a few days now off and on so I know I need a replacement. With Namco out of business locally I searched...

Thanks for the re-assurance. I really don't want to rip out the liner and repack the sand this year. I'm going to fill it - take a measurement to check and see if I have a leak and run with it as is until I have a liner issue. You should see what the voles did to my backyard! I'm sure they...

I fixed the image issue - it was a problem with my host. Everyone should be able to see it now. I should mention that we had a major infestation of what we think were voles or moles this fall - is it possible that what I'm seeing is their tunnels? Thanks.

http://www.braglio.com/images/pool/IMG_0736.jpg I took the pool cover off today and discovered what you see above. I did notice some sand along the outside wall of the pool - but nowhere near as much as what appears to be missing. Do I need to drain this, rebuild the sand and reinstall the...

Dan, That is exactly what I did and it has been working great for several days now. Thanks again to all for their advice.

That might explain why I can't seem to get a tight enough seal with the clamps on it using a 1 1/2" hose. I'll look to pick up a 1 1/2" X 1 1/4" reducer then. Thanks for the tip.

That site is great. The connection on the inlet of the light is a pool hose adapter as per them. Is it possible to use the flex pvc with a hose clamp? Am I better off getting PVC tubing for that portion then converting over to sch 40? I'm not sure how easy it is to force the flex pvc over...

Yes it replaces my return. Its a 1 1/2" 'hose barb' end that the corrugated flex hose connects onto with a band clamp. When you say flex PVC do you mean like PEX piping? If so, I've never used it before. I'd like to convert it over to standard PVC but I'm not sure how to go from the 1 1/2"...

First off I must say this is a wonderful place. I've already learned a ton and the community seems to be very friendly. I'm sick of leaking flex hoses after 3 seasons and plan on converting my AGP to hard piping this weekend. I've read the other threads on the subject and they have provided...
