My Polaris, other than routine maintenance, has been basically trouble free for years. Lately, it refuses to go to the bottom. It doesn't matter whether the pump is on or off. When pump is on, it sort of swims half way down all around the pool until it contacts a wall, then, manages to turn...

Just had a new Pentair fans de filter installed. When I add DE after backwashing, there is an initial cloud of DE that flows back into the pool through my return lines upon start up. I questioned the pool store who applied and installed the unit, and they state that I must have added too much...

I have had this pool since 1987. Never any major problems. This season, she has turned greenish brown. Had my water tested at pool store, they tell me the copper level is high (0.6). They have had me try a powder metal "remover" and a couple of drop-in pods that I put in the skimmer. No...

Opened my pool yesterday. Stopped at my local pool store to purchase a pail of shock. When I opened it, it was hard as concrete. I know this should not be, and am inclined to return it, although, if I could be sure it was still chemically effective, I would probably not bother. Any advise...

I am confused. Just discovered skimmer socks yesterday (I asked the guy at Leslie's on a whim if they had such a thing), bought a pack of five, installed one which I have emptied four times since installing it yesterday afternoon. While I am certain it is meant to be installed on my skimmer...
