    Water Level issue- Help!

    Help! We got a hard freeze randomly, down to 20 degrees when weeks before we were up in the 60s. So since we didn't close the pool all the way down we just ran the pump overnight like we have done in the prior year, well it looks like the seal from the pump to the DE filter popped (not sure...

    Vinyl liner + Dolphin A20

    Has anyone had any issue with the Dolphin scrubbing some of the Vinyl print off their pool near the water line? I thought it was scrubbing the waterline a little too aggressively but if I use a stiffer bristled manual hand brush it still takes some of the print off just a little less so- so...

    DE Filter Sucking Air in?

    I read that previously, which is why I replaced the Oring on the pump basket and it fixed the bubbles when on re-circulate but not when I set it to filter so I assumed it had to be another air leak somewhere between the pump basket and the inlet of the filter. Would I need to replace the spider...

    DE Filter Sucking Air in?

    Filter grids looked good, no breaks or holes and didn't seem brittle, just dirty. I don't remember what it was before cleaning but its 25 PSI right now. Where should I look for a suction side air leak? or what types of things should I look for a restriction inside the filter? I looked to...
