Also, when the water gets cold, the tubing for the robot gets hard. During the winter my robot has more issues due to this, doesn't flow as freely with warm water.

I have several months <50 water temps, I remove the SWG & use pucks. I seem to always have to add CYA every year as I lose some, pump it out, etc..

I would keep it, it looks like several other trees are in your area anyways. Anything you can do to cool the pools in the summer are needed, we get so hot here the bathwater is sometimes unappealing to jump in.

Long story short the pool is froze over and circulating. Whew. I couldn't figure out how to get the skimmer doors off, I didn't want to break them. So what I did was shove a red solo cup in between the weir door and the top of the skimmer and it fit good enough to keep the door down. One...

I have Jandy everything, not sure if it's Jandy skimmer brand or not. I will look and reach in there and see if I can figure it out.

I like the idea of removing the doors for the freeze. How exactly do they come off? I never have wedged anything, a couple of years I had to fill a 5 gallon bucket full of hot water and pour around the door, skimmer, to break it loose and it continuously flows good after the ice breaks free.

Didn't find a perfect place for this but I will leave it here. Pool is full, actually currently over filled. The last couple years I was pumping out the water when it was over filled, only to turn around and fill it back up. My question is knowing that the pool will freeze over within the...

Agree, that is funny you said that because one of my skimmer baskets side burst, and must have been one of entry ways. I may also have been at fault for not getting 100% of the debris out of the bottom of the pump basket when I clean it out.

Alright! Thank you for the assistance, I was luckily able to get the tip of my finger back to the impeller and was able to get some trash leaves out of the back. It was a slow go, but with two bloodied knuckles, and cold fingers, the pump is happier, and my wallet is too! We have a...

10-4! I will pull that basket and see if I can reach and find something. I will report back what I find. I do like the idea of VS pump, however my pool does run on a mechanical timer and didn't know if I could run a VS pump or not?

I have an 8-9 year old pump that seemed to have got louder over the weekend. We had quite a few leaves blow into the pool over the night this weekend and the skimmers were pretty full allowing ail to get by. Can I have this pumped "refreshed" by someone, or would I have to purchase a new pump...

Gotcha! These are also working on 7-8 years old, I presume when I rushed to clean these this winter, (not Fall) I didn't get them clean enough, rushed it.... Have not added anything like that, TFP rules here. I'll have clean filters I can rotate in and out now...

My cartridge filters went out, or got super dirty with pollen, leaf debris, etc.. I read the cartridge filters "should" be replaced every 1-2 years, I understand that the manufacturers would like this, but I didn't know if they actually do have a time clock? I called around and these filters...

One additional data point that I noticed yesterday while observing the equipment was that the filter PSI reading seemed a little high, 25-30 possibly if I recall correctly. This makes me think it could have been the dirty filters and I didn't clean them well enough, or that they could possibly...

I can’t figure this out! The pump basket is 1-2 inches low on water. Wrapped them with plastic wrap, watered the pump down. The lid was my suspect forever, new gasket, no lube, lubed, removed all lube. Was thinking to purchase a new lid, but when I removed the lid this last time it had...
