    Filter hose doesn't fit new pump, please help!

    Haha yes! I won’t complain as long as it works! Hopefully can last a few more years as it’s only 2.5 years old! Fingers crossed it works tomorrow when the timer kicks in!

    My son went into the pool and he said it doesn’t feel like sand and just goes poof when he touches it...he couldn’t get a sample out from the bottom for me...how does one check for lateral crack?

    What to do if I have done SLAM incorrectly?

    The bubbles are on the walls all around the pool, not coming out of return. I’ll see if my son can get some actual “sand” from the bottom of the pool later if it’s not too cold and will report findings...thx!
