Never mind figured it out.

First time doing a complete opening and I'm Taking the cover off today. 1. What do I need to do with the antifreeze in the lines? 2. Any ideas where the O-ring and the flat ring go? One of the black plugs is the only one without a ring but neither fit well. And I do have a booster pump...

We currently have an epoxy pebble stone pool deck that is getting old. We have talked to two pool companys that recommend ripping it out and replacing with new concrete and then kool Crete product if we wanted it. We have also talked to a concrete guy that says he can apply a kool Crete...

Water looked little better this morning. I am currently running the pump 24/7 at 2700 rpm at 13 psi. The old pump was a 1 HP at 19 psi. Should I increase the rpm to help clear the water faster? If so what should I bump it to?

I went to the pool store and got a new lid gasket and a new pressure gauge. Installed them and flipped the switch.....now the pump is not starting up. just gives a low humming noise. Thoughts? Will begin my online search.

anyone have any ideas? Would I be correct to assume that the issue is most likely on the suction side? leak, clogged skimmer line? Or am I missing an important pool opening step?

The valve on the right is from the skimmer. The closed valve on the left is from the main drain. It doesn't open.
