That is a very good systematic approach. The part that is driving me just crazy is that I have been using this exact setup for 5 years with no problems at all and then all of a sudden I started having problems. Thanks again for all of your help. I really appreciate it!

Thanks. I agree that it sounds like it should be the hoses, just I can't believe that I would be lucky enough to get a brand new set that has the same issue!

Thanks very much for the suggestion. I tried something very similar with the old hose and I was still drawing air with the entire thing submerged. This weekend I'll try that again with the new hose. If that doesn't work, I think I'm literally going to completely disassemble the entire...

Yep just like the one in the picture. It's brand new as it came with the new vac/hose.

Ok, I'm totally stumped! I replaced the aquabug and hose with a new "diver dan" and hose. Then I removed the ball valve from the bottom of the skimmer hoping that the stem seal might have been the problem. Added new hose adapters to the bottom of the skimmer and the pump inlet (sealed with...

I just gave up and ordered a new cleaner and hose. It was on sale on Amazon for like $98 and free shipping with Amazon Prime. Will have it tomorrow and hope it works. I looked on craigslist briefly, but then started thinking that maybe I'd be getting someone else problem! Keeping my fingers...

I know that the joints are all pushed together as tight as can be (flanges are flush on each connection.) I guess I'll just get a new hose and give it a shot. Still have no idea how this can be since I tried it with the hose underwater, but I'm out of other options. Thanks very much Tommy

Thanks for the reply but I do fill the hose completely. This setup/procedure has been working well for about 5 years up until just a few weeks ago. Any other ideas? Thanks Tommy

Hi, I have a Hayward EC-40 DE filter with a 1 HP Hayward Perflex pump and everything has been working fine. I have been running into a problem with an air leak whenever I use my Aqua Bug pool cleaner. Whenever I use the cleaner I get a ton of air in the pump strainer basket. If I remove the...

Re: AGP deck question. 17'9 wide deck frame but 16' deckin It looks great... just wish I could get to finish mine... I dug the footings last year and cut the first piece of wood in May! Guess 3 boys will do that to you... I really miss having time to get anything done!!! Like I mentioned...

Re: AGP deck question. 17'9 wide deck frame but 16' deckin Not sure if this is too late or even helpful at all, but I have two ideas: - Run 2 rows of 5/4 x 6 as a border around the perimeter (mitered corners, etc) you would be left with 15'-11" (17'-9" less 4 x 5.5") or so depending on board...

Not sure if I understand correctly, but I believe that you are looking for something like this? If so its a Hayward SP729. I'm pretty sure that I got one at Leslie's, but I'm sure you could find a source online that might be cheaper. Hope it helps. Thanks Tommy

I have a really dumb question. How does everyone store their solar cover reel while using the pool (above ground - round)? I bought the reel last year but never got around to actually using it. I was thinking of buying or making some large U shaped hooks to attach to the fence near the pool...
