    Question on air in hoses when one inlet is blocked

    Questions for you guys. I learned something new every year and this forum has been a great resource.

    Anyone got any tips or tricks on finding a small leak in an Intex pool? I don’t see that there’s any ground around it that is wet, but the level is dropping little by little

    Hi All! New Member here. I have consulted several "pool experts" in my area and get different answers, none of which are resolving my issue so hopefully someone here can lead me right :) So, I have an above ground pool. Small 15' round that holds about 5300g gallons. I have had the pool for...
