Yes sir, I'm certain of it at this point. The very first sign of anything out of the ordinary was the darker green colored "something" on the bottom of the pool. in line with the returns. I pulled the DE filter to check it and found it was covered in greenish DE, so I did the complete pull...

It's Porpoise brand DE filter powder our local Pinch A Penny has in stock. I agree though, the grainy look gave me pause.

You're unfortunately reading my mind. When this was built, I literally had no clue what I was getting or what I needed beyond a VS pump. The builder is an old school, been around the area for ages and appears to not be too caught up in the new technologies or updates to equipment or best...

Looks like a smaller amount is coming out, but so far it hasn't stopped yet. I'll throw in the dolphin to clean it up, and small amounts are back in the bottom/deep end. Best I can tell, the top where the pressure relief valve is, is wet now. So I think it's begun to leak around that possibly...

Thank you for a great reply. I don't have a drawing as it was never provided, and I'm getting the feeling my builder was a little more "casual" with that than I had anticipated. I ended up getting the Trax kit for the 280 and I've also changed the frequency of the 280 running, to hopefully...

I have a new (year old) pool that came with a Polaris 280 booster pump cleaner. After a year and change of use, I've noticed that the 280's bottom is scratching the liner at the transition from the angled portion beginning the deep end, to the flat shallow end. The liner is showing some white...
