    Drained Pool, still have problem -

    Im getting embarrassed at this point. I finally gave up and drained the pool, I drained it until there was about 1 foot left in the very deep end. It was green, but couldnt get it all out. I figured when it filled up it would dilute that enough it would filter out. Im not sure now as its...

    Long time no talk... My Polaris 3900 was stolen

    After spending the summer rebuilding my pumps and cleaner, buying the rebuild kit and putting it together (this took me quite some time) I came home 2 weeks ago and it was gone. Who steals a pool cleaner?? If you remember it was all I could do to afford the rebuild kit. Now I don’t even have...

    Stump the pool pro’s! Polaris3900 still not moving.

    I first joined TFP what seems like years ago but was actually only mid-July I believe! But I’m still in the middle of the chain reaction. Every single thing I do has led me to yet another issue. So.. Polaris isn’t doing much of anything. When I lift him up but leave him in water, the wheels...

    While looking at my cracked manifold - this started happening.

    You can’t make this stuff up. https://imgur.com/a/64iiZKu A fine spray mist steadily shooting out. I don’t know when I can get a manifold. I know they’re rather affordable but I’ve spent so much lately on this pool, I can’t get one right now. So I’m running it minimally but the waters not good.

    I think it may be time to just move. The pool is a constant money pit.

    I’ve said before I can’t take care of the pool financially, hardly. July 4th my daughter accidentally let it run dry until it was sucking air for a good hour. It came on and things worked but then slowly stuff started happening. I had to replace the backup valve on Polaris last week. Then last...

    My DE filter seems to not be filtering. I am about to give up.

    I’m almost ready to walk away from all of this. It’s mentally and financially beginning to kill me. If it isn’t one thing it’s 10 more. My 19 year old daughter is a great help. My husband taught her how to maintain the pool and filter etc. he always showed her, I think he enjoyed the time...
