Hey experts, I neglected my pool for several weeks while my mom was ill prior to her death about 2 weeks ago. The skimmer baskets had a lot of fine debris in them and were probably not pulling much water through. The cleaner bag was full of the same. The pump runs but doesn’t seem to be pulling...

The Quattro was 3 years old this month but started circling in the deep end, literally circling the drain most of the time. Took it in and the assessment was it needed a new engine, gear box, side brush gear box (left and right,) 8 wheel bearings, and 4 tires, all to the tune of $820. They...

I just wanted to check in with my favorite pool people and say thank you again for helping me learn how to take care of my pool after my husband died. It’s now been just over 5 years and I’m still doing the chemistry myself. I do still hire out equipment work including filter cleans. My pool...

My Polaris 280 is going in circles. With the booster/cleaner pump off, the filter pump on and the hose still in the wall, I pulled the cleaner out to take a look at it. Normally when I do this there is a small spray of water coming out the top of the polaris where the bag attaches but there was...

Long story short, I am taking over pool care after the death of my husband last month. The amazingly patient Leebo has been assisting me via PM for awhile (thank you, Lee!). I have a ton to learn because this was my husband’s domain - he had been using this website for the past 2.5 years. I can...
