yea,sorry i did fix the issue. thanks awhile back now.

4x4 no! but a lifted pool cleaner with big Rear wheels. you get what im saying? im not sure what you mean by pop ups,but if your referring to something that pops up occasionally,im not sure. if i remember correctly they are "JETS" just like on the side of the wall.

friend has jets in the bottom of his pool and he said he would need like a 4x4 polaris pool cleaner to vacuum his pool. lol said the cleaner gets tangled up in the jets. "NOT SURE WHAT HE MEANS" Really any suggestions, thanks Ed

well i replaced the seals and added teflon tape to my fittings,still blows bubbles,but my Dang booster pump is still leaking water on the shaft side. i was told that the propeller plate may have a crack in it. i did use a silicone seal for the seal and placed the seals to where the rubbers are...

ok i guess its normal for a pool just blow bubbles, thanks! im pretty sure its sucking air at the pump fittings so i will check. :sleep:

well today was a good day got my boost pump installed so i could run my Polaris but i am missing one fitting to hook up my Polaris. my question is. 1 of my jets on the farthest end of my pool is blowing bubbles,when i turn the boost pump off shortly after it stops. why is that? thanks MrEd

i have noticed here lately that my pools has what appears to be sand. someone suggested "pool store" that is probably "DE" but the "DE" is 1000Xs times finer than what i am getting out of my pool. im getting what looks to be SAND or is it Calcium? i use a fine leaf bag to peak up the leaves...

some quick thinking, i tied a string to a rag and stuffed it down the pipe,and had to work fast. thanks Ed :wave:

trying to fix my return line. some one stepped on my jandy valve that is in line to return to the pool. so i am having to cut the vavle out which is tied to a 2" 90 that goes straight in to the ground. so i dig the ground just enough to where i can cut the bottom side of the 90. i cant clue on a...
