    Discolored Pump Basket

    Now that I think about it - I noticed a few spots this same color on the pool liner itself too. I’m guessing the high iron is from our water here and not something I can change before it goes in pool right? Are the liner stains something that’s fixable? Any way to prevent them? The impeller...

    Discolored Pump Basket

    Hi, the top part of my pump basket has turned an orangey rust color (see attached pic #1). Does anyone know what may have caused this? I also have a small slit in the basket (see attached pic #2). Could this be causing problems? Background Info: I’ve been having suction problems in the...

    No Suction from Pool Skimmer - Newb Trying Not to Give Up

    Ok I’ve had the bladder on and hose running for about 5 minutes now and nothing is happening. I took a vid to make sure I’m doing it right. I also show how far the pump is from the water tap and from the pool skimmer. Am I doing it right? And if so, any idea how long it’s ok to let it run for...

    No Suction from Pool Skimmer - Newb Trying Not to Give Up

    I just checked and I got the drain bladder in. I have it connected to the hose but I haven’t built up the courage to go do it yet. I’m gonna go read the instructions and psyche myself up 😅

It’s staying like half open now - when I had suction it stayed all the way open all the time I guess because water was...
