Thanks everyone, for all the suggestions! Yesterday afternoon, I disconnected the leaf canister - took it out altogether - then I futzed around with the hose connections, 0ne of them was very loose and came undone when I turned the whole thing off... E verything is humming along nicely! I will...

Whaaaatttt?? How do I not know about this?!?

I have, but now I'm wondering if the leaf canister is not cracked somewhere, going by the gurgling I just heard... That would be an easy, inexpensive fix!

It does lose prime, or at least, I think it does, I tried to attach a video, but the file is too large... BUT... this only happens when the vacuum is attached, seems alright when it's just the skimmer basket, it never stops then, and the heater doesn't throw up the FLO error code

Ok... I connect the vacuum hose directly into the skimmer, it has an attachment where you regulate the speed of the vacuum... The pump primes beautifully without the vacuum, if just the skimmer basket is in. Something else, the heater has an error code of FLO when the vac is in, this means it's...

I have tried running it at every setting, always the same... it will start trying to prime, then bubbles, big bubbles, and then... stops and priming failure Tech leaves it so tight, he said if it is not tight, this will happen, but now it happens even if tight. I do have a rubber mallet, Is...

Yes, it was cleaned and lubed - I suppose the other question is: is there another type of cover that would be easier to open, or some kind of tool that would help open it, *if* it needs to be so tight?

For the past several weeks I'm having issues with the vacuum and the clamp cover to the filter basket - I can't help but think they are related... I used to be able to hook up the vacuum easily, and it was never a problem to switch from vacuum to skimmer basket. (I cannot have both, as a...

Our little guy is being a bit naughty and rebellious... He used to do a great job, cleaning a perfect pattern overnight, but lately, he is only cleaning certain areas and ignoring others, he is also not going up the walls as much as he used to.... also, he seems to be getting tangled a lot in...
