    Pump only moves water after running rinse-could this be a suction side air leak?

    ok, our original filter didn't have one at all so I wasn't too worried about it. I'll see about how to add one. Thanks!

    Pump only moves water after running rinse-could this be a suction side air leak?

    Not sure about the waste line, I'll see if I can figure it out. I haven't run the waste cycle since I got it going again. Our pressure gauge is actually broken after freezing winter of 2021. I generally check the pump basket every day and it's clear, not sure about the impeller. After your...

    Pump only moves water after running rinse-could this be a suction side air leak?

    For a couple of weeks, I was having to prime the pump basket in order to get the pump started. Eventually that wasn't enough and I would only get a little movement with air bubbles coming out of the jets (seemed to move around from jet to jet) and little to no movement through the skimmer. I had...

    sand filter recommendations

    Just saw the thread below where someone installed a bulkhead - he actually tried something like that which is what but probably did incorrectly which made the problem worse.

    Pentair Tagelus 60D sand filter leaking at drain plug after attempt to deep clean

    Thanks for reply - no one answered the first day or two and I thought I had replies sent to my email so I thought no one had responded and just now checked.. I will look this over. Have just been recirculating while I research new filters so I'll see if this helps at all.

    Pentair Tagelus 60D sand filter leaking at drain plug after attempt to deep clean

    Wanted to deep clean sand filter according to instructions on sticky on this forum. Watched the videos, asked my husband to help. First mistake, he watched a couple seconds of the first video where they are putting the drain plug on and by the time he got to it thought we were supposed to take...

    Best way to replace tile

    Hi all, I searched the forum but didn't see an answer to this - maybe it's too basic. I had about 10 4inch square tiles fall off the pool over the winter - I guess the water got too high when it was way below freezing. What is the best way to replace them? If I'm not handy, is this something...

    another cloudy pool with good numbers

    Yes, it's making noise but not moving water. And it must have happened pretty suddenly because it was great about 2 hours earlier. We don't have any kind of pressure gauge.

    another cloudy pool with good numbers

    Thank you to everyone with your help with this! We'd been swimming and happy for the past 2 days when the pump stopped working again. Unlike when we had the electrical issue last week when it was completely dead, the motor is running but there is no flow. It was fine this morning, my husband...
