The cyclone blower is great. Pays for itself in no time and has allowed me to help others close their pool as well.

I just wanted to update for anyone who is following. Two o-rings needed to be replaced. One in the bottom drain on the cartridge filter and the other from pump to filter connection. He still has an issue with the bottom pool drains but will look at that later. At least now the pump is running...

The skimmer works but never gets enough water to fill the pump near the top. It's like it looses suction.

I'm helping a friend with his pool that he is having issues with. When the pump is priming there is never enough suction/flow. He has a skimmer, three return jets, and two floor drains. The skimmer and drains each have a valve. If he opens the valve for the floor drain he loses flow almost...

Starting 4th season with TFP method. Pool still as clear as my first pic in 2020 at the start of the thread. Thanks to all for the support and motivation. I don't even know what algae looks like in my pool. Keep up the good work all.

It looks like it snaps on but I haven't installed it yet. I got it off of Amazon. The one for my skimmer is: SP1084FGR

I ordered a replacement but will install it next season. I do have what looks like fading around the pool but just at the water line. I have a SWG installed but don't use it. I manually dose liquid chlorine and muriatic acid. Nothing in the skimmer other than CYA. I will try to get a pic but it...

Cover the top when not in use to save cleanup time. Mostly its just adding chlorine which is a few mins a day even if you aren't testing daily.

This is the second season using my pool.

My grey skimmer faceplate has a white band within the water level band. Is this normal? I use liquid chlorine and add at the return side with the jet faced upwards to agitate the water as I pour.

Dang thats expensive in Canada....

I've had the PB close my pool the last couple of seasons mostly because I don't own a compressor. I lower the water levels, spray off the filters, and adjust my chemistry. The only thing they do is blow out the lines and put the cover on. I'm looking to do the whole thing myself this winter as...

Do you have a solar cover? I live north of you and can get about 85-86F with it. There are a lot of threads on winterizing the pool and a Youtube video below. I prep my chemistry for the temperature drop and then cover for the winter. The later you close the less chance for algae in the spring...
