Hey gang, I'm a "little" behind the 8-ball on closing my pool this season here in MN and I was busting my rear end today trying to get it done. Unfortunately the pool got moderately neglected this fall so there was a fair amount of vacuuming that needed to be done before shutting it down...

I'm finally just getting my pool up and running for the year. I decided to replace my pump as it was 10 years old and was getting pretty loud at the end of last year. When I installed the new pump today, I too have bubbles coming out the return. I realize this is after the pump and...
