    Algae??

    Thank you for directing me to the post. I'll save the trouble of posting pics, because mine looks exactly the same as these. The birch trees I mentioned are covered at the top by Japanese Beetles and the dead leaves they eat are falling in the pool constantly this time of year, so that all...

    Algae??

    I have been using Trouble Free pool for two years now. Last year everything was great and this year no issues until last week. I have kept my water in balance and it is crystal clear. However, I noticed last week something floating in the water. They look like green, segmented, spiral...

    Leak at housing/seal plate

    So, I decided to pull the pump apart again and work through the steps recommended above. Pulled the gaskets from the trash and they were not exactly the same. The diffuser gasket was the same size but made from a different material. The old one felt almost like neoprene, the new one was hard...

    Leak at housing/seal plate

    I replaced my seal assembly, and all gaskets today. I now have a very small leak, more of a seep at the top, center of the joint between the housing and seal plate. I have taken the bolts out, reapplied lube to the housing gasket, and bolted back together being very careful to make sure...
