The pool water is a little more than half way up the skimmer...we turned the air relief valve and let it run out thinking we would remove any air if it were trapped, but that didn't seem to change anything either.

Well, we have the pool water balanced and under control, but it appears we are having pump problems. We have the swim pro voyager filtration system with a Hayward power flo pump. When we started it up, there was water in the Pump basket, but it wasn't full. The pressure reading was close to...

I just went to target and picked up 3 giant boxes of borax to start off...not sure how much i will end up needing. my husband just added the last 1.25lb package of ph up about an hour ago and when I get off work I am going to go home and test. We are keeping the pump running 24/7 at this point...
