That was exactly what happened. Opened up the unit and found a gravel inside the turbine chamber.

The front wheels of my pool cleaner Pentair LL105PM are stuck and can not rotate at all when I tried to turn it by hands. What part failed to have caused this? Is it repairable?

The tail looks one piece to me. The feed line from pool to cleaner is made of multiple segments.

My pool cleaner is Pentair Kreepy Krauly Plantinum LL505PMG. I noticed today water is shooting out from both end of tail (as expected) and mud section of the tail. There is a hole of 1/8” diameter at mid section (refer to the red circle in attached photo). Is this normal? Time to replace this...

My old pool cleaner Pentair LL105PM shows aging. Noticed the pool side feedline does not swivel smoothly any more, leading to hose sections tangled often. Thinking to replace the feedline, or buy a new cleaner. Any recommendations for new cleaner? Is there a cleaner that can vacuum the pool...

Rocket J Squirrel, you provided two links. Do I need products of both links, or either of the two? What are the differences between the two? The gap I have is a little wider/deeper than 1" in some sections. If I remove loose dirty, it might be even larger. What do I need to do to fill/minimize...

Awesome! I will get the Deck-O-Seal.

Mystery is resolved. JamesW is correct and awesome! This o-ring is inside the float valve, sitting in a groove and the float will sit in contact with it if that flat is turned to close. I can see water turbulance can cause this o-ring to move out and suck into pump basket. Attached is a a...

My pool is made of gunite (concrete), and flagstones at the edge. Noticed the gap between the bricks/pavers and the flagstones are widening and the gaps are showing in the photo attached. Any idea on how to fix this gap? Just a mater of removing this old materials there (rubbery to the touch)...

I found this o-ring sitting in the basket (circled in red in the 1st photo) between pool/skimmer/spa return (circled in yellow in 1st photo) and the main pool pump. It is 2.5' in diameter, and rubber's profile is 1/8" in diameter. Opened it up the actuator at the yellow circle in 1st photo, and...

I found it - the handle of the valve is labeled as "Model #4717". That ebay kit states will fit. Thanks!

Just realized the orings I need to replace are not inside the actuator, but the valve beneath it. Question now is how I can confirm the ebay kit will fit?

I need to buy replacement orings. Photo attached shows the actuator I have. Lable says CVA-24T. But seaching orings for this model name did not come up orings. when searching by Jandy valve orings, many came up, such as this ebay one. How do I kniw if they fit? Jandy Never Lube Replacement...

I have some air leak from the suction side into the pool/filter pump. During the day when the pool/filter pump running, most of time there is an air pocket size of 1.5~2x of a quarter swirling under the clear lid in the photo attached. I can also observe small bubbles at spa/pool. Is this...

Cool. That save my effort to observe.

Oh, I assumed the cleaner stopped only because of the air/water mix. I will observe to confirm your story. Either way, I will schedule the cleaner to finish its run by 10am (when there is less chance for solar to engage).

Good to know. Where can I find my vacuum relief valve(s)? By "allowing air into the collectors", what do you mean by "collectors"? Sounds like both vacuum relief valve and collector are part of the solar panel heating system on top of the roof? During the day, as the solar heating turns on and...

I used similar device in fish tank before. It has a diaphragm at the inlet, like check valve we have in pool plumbing, that allows water to go into the clear tubing as it thrust into the water but hold it from falling back.

Oh, yeah... I have lots of submersible pumps from my reef tank hobby I can use too. But I want to drain like a pro ;-)
