    Poor Skimming Action

    Yeah, so I just went out there and pushed the door down a little bit (it is being pulled downward, just not enough, currently at 1700rpm) and it does what a skimmer should do, but when I let go, it goes up just enough to make the skimming ineffective. Water level is halfway. Here's an older...

    Poor Skimming Action

    I have one of those doors than can be moved around a bit with spring loaded pads. Maybe it's too high?

    Poor Skimming Action

    Yes there is a weir door. The water does not start flowing over the door until a much higher rpm. Nothing gets pulled into the skimmer and the basket just kind of floats around like the pump was off. I was thinking maybe most of the suction was from the port...but maybe not. Not sure what is...

    Poor Skimming Action

    Hey, I've got this pool, run purely on in floor cleaning and a leaf trapper. Below my skimmer is an equalization port. There are two main drains but can be controlled at the pad. With the pump pulling strictly from the "skimmer", the skimmer is only effective above 2800rpm. Below that...

    Caretaker Ultraflex 8 Port Sensor

    Hey, I've noticed my ultraflex becoming confused when rotating to the next zone. It happens randomly (not always on the same zone). When it's time to turn to the next zone, it will turn maybe a half an inch and mostly be on the same zone again. I've played around with adjusting the sensor but...

    Leaf Trapper Issue?

    Here are some pictures. I've dived into the leaf trapper itself, everything is there. The clear lid -> Net ->Nozzle. Water is shooting out the return from the nozzle. Water does get above the lid when the system is off, maybe an inch or so. When system is on the water level is into the net...

    Leaf Trapper Issue?

    Hi there, I just inherited a pool on a new house that full blown in-floor cleaning. There is a skimmer, pop ups, and a few jets on the side which are part of the in-floor system (versus standard return jets), and a Leaf Trapper. I have limited knowledge on this thing but all the parts are...

    Mystery Tube

    Thank you all. The picture is at a bad angle, but the stub is actually coming out 90 degrees from the cleaner pipe. It does look like it's after the filter in the picture though. This is going to be equipment from a new house, so I haven't had any time to actually play with it. Just trying to...

    Mystery Tube

    Looking for some help identifying what this black tube is, running from where water enters filter to where it exits heater and goes back to pool/cleaners. Bonus points for what the thing protruding out from the cleaner pipe (pop ups) is. Thanks!
