Check valve was turned 90 degrees so it wasn't an issue. Just didn't have the power to push the water with the shop vac.

Im looking at replacing my old pump/filter. I have a cartridge filter now and not sure if I should continue with that or do sand or de? I'm also thinking of taking advantage of the $300 comes credit and getting vs pump. I was looking at the pentair superfoods vs. I can grab it for 799 then get...

Well pool is closed.... sucks I paid $300 to have a guy come hook up a cyclone for 5 min. And give me a pool closing kit but piece of mind for this year and looks like I'll be spending another $300 next year to do it my self.

Yes I did. I even went to the T are by the main drain and tried blowing that way down. Figured with a 6hp shop vac it would be no problem but that's not the case. Im guessing it's just stubborn and I'll have to invest in a cyclone for the future???

So I'm trying to close my pool and this is the equipment pad. Returns on the left and skimmer/main drain on the right. The other plug I was questioning earlier is actually a tee coupler that goes to the main drain?.... I blew it out from the equipment pad to there but can't get it to budge on...

is that something I should be concerned with? Or is that just for install purposes. I know when they installed the new liner ground water was an issue according to the receipt the previous owner left. We just had 7in of rain in 24hrs. And making sure I shouldn't be doing anything because of...

I'm hoping someone can help tell me the purpose of this plumbing piece located on the side of my pool. I just moved here and this is my first inground pool. I want to close the pool myself to save money but not sure if this is something I have to mess with or not. Any help would be greatly...

Still available

I'm looking to sell my pool robot. I purchased new last year. It's great for above ground pools. I prefer someone local as I want to avoid shipping. I'm looking to get $200. Let me know if your interested and I can send pics. It's in excellent condition and I store in my garage when not being used.

Is there an area to sell items on this forum? I belong to a couple where they have an area to sell used items. I'm looking at selling my 1 year old aqua bot pool cleaner and thought someone here local would be interested.

Thank an you for the insight and info. It's much appreciated! ron

Well we sold our house and are looking at buying a new home with an inground pool. It is roughly 18' by 36' oval with a deep end. It just had a new vinyl liner installed this year. It has 3 returns, 1 skimmer and 1 main drain in the deep end. I don't believe the shallow is below 4' deep. Not...
