    Going on vacation

    I’m leaving tomorrow on a week long vacation. I worry about leaving pool pump running. I have a new pentair superflo vs pump and a Triton II TR 60 sand filter but my plumbing is 20 years old. Should I just turn it off and fight the algae bloom when I get back or not worry and run it?

    Unknown pool opening

    Anybody have any idea what this part of my pool is or what it’s use is? It has a screw on cap and appears to be a pipe leading into the pool by the steps. We have lived in this home about 5 years and always wondered.

    Hayward TigerShark QC climbing too high

    I recently purchased a TigerShark QC. My problem is even with the Thrust Restrictor Plate installed the cleaner still climbs too high. It also makes an excessive clinking sound, intakes air into the bottom inlet, falls off the wall rather than reversing back down. Help!!!!
