    Requiring advice on filter URGENT.

    With the pump drawing air, Thats what was causing my salt cell to drop and lint box to drop to half in the pump. Each time i switched it off and restarted it it would flow back to normal again.

    Roll call: What cleaner do you use? Are you happy with it?

    Hayward ultra vac came with the pool. Recommend. NO WAY Rubbish. requires too much suction dedication and does not work well under a pool cover. Looking for a better cleaner. Maybe the Baracuda quattro?
