Will go over all rings again with lub before making the plumbing change, but I already did when I started the pool and all seemed fine. I do admit that it seems worse this year than last year, so maybe I missed a section or need new rings. I do run at 50% or less all the time so if this is a...

The 90 is at about 3 inches from the pump inlet. So, I guess I should redo that portion to be at least 10 inches or more. Not sure how I will fit that in my filter shed, but will see if I can do that.

Hi, I have a Hayward TriStar VSP with 1.5" pipes from pad to pool with a 2" elbow going to the pump. Pipe is also 2" from pump to valve between filter and pump and where the backwash hose is connected. I always have some air in the basket, it can't fill 100%. I also get more air in the basket...

Just to update on this rubber vs nylon brush. I did purchase the rubber bristles brush and used it for few weeks. Yesterday I decided to go back to nylon bristle brush. I found that the rubber bristle were not doing a good job in small nooks (trims holding the liner around the steps) and harder...

If it wasn't for the lack of curved edges which of the 2 (rubber vs poly) would you prefer?

Here is what I'm referring to: General PDP Template | Canadian Tire (Aquarius Wall Brush with Rubber Bristles, 18-in) Or here.

As anyone tried rubber bristles brush? Are they any good? or better stick to polyester/nylon bristled brushes? For a pool with vinyl liner.

Seems harder and harder to get source of reagent in Canada. Anyone knows where I could get T-0718 in Canada? All the USA store won't ship to Canada.

Does it still work fine? I've read many stating it dies after 1-2 years. Asking since I'm considering getting ones, but would like to see it last more than 1-2 years.

The handheld Aiper does not seem as powerful as the Water Tech, but I looked at Aiper cordless robot and could be at similar price to the iVac350Li or Pool Blaster Max Li. But, would the robot pick up acorn. It seems like acorn would only be pushed away and not picked up.

Looking at getting one of these 2 from Water Tech: iVac350Li or Pool Blaster Max Li. Any opinions, comparison? iVac350 is slightly cheaper in price, and according got water tech rating: iVac 350 as power rating of 520 and Max Li of 365 but not sure which is best design and would last longer.

No, nothing else than liquide chlorine(sodium hypochlorite), stabilizer, baking soda or muriatic acide goes into my pool, as per TFP rules. No copper or anything comming from pool store. I know I will recover,I just find that odd. The pool is still green, but already going the right way. But...

Came back from vacation with a nasty surprise... Abnoral storm removed half my pool cover leaving leaves to go into my skimmer and clog it and stopped my filter from pumping water. So, I was withou filtration and SWG not working for some days (not sure how many). Water was a bit clouwdy but...

Ok, will try reducing RPM. I was actually trying the other way around. i will see if it works better at lower RPM next time I vaccum. I already have the gasket lubbed and have teflon tape on drain plugs. as a note, as soon as I unplug the vaccum hose, pump goes back to normal.

Replaced my pump recently, and now with this new TriStar VS I'm seeing starvation when I use the manual vaccum (thru skimmer). Any idea in preventing this? can I use 2" vaccum hose? Would it help? Plumbing is 1.5" from skimmer to pump, than 2" for about 1.5 feet and 1.5" all the way thru 3 way...
