Trying to do a partial water change. I am only able to drain the water so far via the main drain (maybe a foot below the skimmer opening), before the pump starts sucking air. The skimmer is off, of course. No amount of priming will get the pump to work again, until I refill the pool. I'm...

Recently bought a house in the Vero Beach, Florida area. Pool is approx. 11,000 gallons, in-ground. We're not here most of the summer when a heater is unnecessary. Running in the pool helps my wife's arthritis so we'd like to extend the usable season as long as possible. The pool would be...

Perhaps a dumb question, but can't hurt to ask. New (to us) house, built in 1992. Water bubbles coming out the returns. Existing valves are Jandy, I believe non-positive, They were dry as a bone so I replaced the o-rings and broken grease cups. Also cleaned and lubed the pump and filter...

I installed a CircuPool RJ-30 about 9 months ago. Working great, very happy. We just bought a house that has a Hayward Aqua Rite system of unknown age. Says the salt level is 300, cell is getting voltage but 0 current. Flow sensor is working correctly. I'm assuming the cell needs replacement...

We're in South Florida and have a roughly 10k gallon in-ground pool. Open year-round, but not heated so it never gets used in the winter. We will be going out of town a lot this summer, for periods of several weeks at a time. I recently installed a saltwater chlorine generator which is...

Anyone have any experience with this? $599 on Amazon. One downside I see is that the batteries are not replaceable. Is that typical of battery powered cleaners? What's the expected life of a pool cleaner in general? I'm still doing it old fashioned way, and it's getting really old.

We are turning our former house into an AirBnb, and decided to add a hot tub since the property doesn't have a pool. Whether this was a good idea I don't know, but that ship has sailed. I'm sure it will look good in the listing pictures; how much it actually gets used remains to be seen. We...

I'm replacing my pump and am going to take this opportunity to fix the shoddy plumbing work done by the last few people who worked on the pool. I have a single skimmer and a main drain plumbed into the skimmer, with one of those flying saucer floats in the bottom. To vacuum the pool I have a...

Today I was out back and noticed the pool pump wasn't running. A minute or two later, it turned on. We had a power outage a few days ago so I figured the timer was just behind a few hours. A few minutes later, the pump turned off; the thermal overload tripped. A few minutes later it came...
