I ordered a new O-ring to replace that as my gut is that is my most likely culprit. The only reason I think it's not pool level is that when it's not sucking, the water is at a decent level in the skimmer. Once it's flowing, it seems fine, but I'll keep an eye on it. My filter does not have a...

I do a couple things to aerate my water. I have two deck jets that I increase their distance to the max so that we can disrupt as much water as possible. I also use a my auto cover pump in our little area that we call the "beach" which is maybe 2-3 inches deep. I'll put the discharge up in the...

I'm having a sporadic issue with my pump and pulling water. Most days my pump will start and it will pull water into the pump and get my full system going, but some days I have to go out and bleed air out of the filter to get it to pull water. Once it's running it seems fine with no air in the...

I have the Taylor K2005 kit and my FC tester has readings for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7.5, 10. With a CYA of 40, I believe my acceptable range for FC is 3-7. Given that my tester is missing 4, 6, and 7 as a reading, could I be in trouble down the road? I have the FAS-DPD test that I can get into the .2...

To answer your question on aerating without the fittings, I've been able to do it. I have two deck jets that I turn on and run full power to create as many bubbles as possible. I also have a pump cover for my auto cover. I'll put that in this area I call the "beach" where it's padded and I...

Yeah I did a dose to take it up to 7. I work from home so I'll be retesting here later today. I appreciate the advice.

I’ve got everything in balance to ideal levels FC 3 PH 7.6 CYA 40 I see the max as 90 and ideal as 60-80. Should I worry about bringing that down? I'm not sure if Muriatic Acid can go bad, but I've already done the suggested amounts twice and saw minimal adjustments to the TA. Just curious if...

Alright, got the pump working. There is still air in the line but at least it’s pulling water now to get it through the filter. I want to get some chlorine and testing going while I trouble shoot the air, but I’m getting there now. Thanks guys.

Found this I forgot to take out I guess but I’m leaking water now in that union. I’m trying to get that perfectly aligned.

Here is the full front.

I can try to grease all the o rings. I didn't do that to the filter I guess. When starting up the pump I'm trying to fill the basket with water as much as I can as well to just help prime it. I've been leaving the filter air line vented and sometimes I can hear some air leaking out. When I stop...

I did not line the o rings. I can try that on the pump.
