What can I do? I've recently been told to take it all apart again and apply vaseline to all the o-rings?? Apparently one can squeeze the seals too tight and the vaseline helps to...do what exactly? Make the rubber more malleable - makes a better seal maybe? Anyway, I just replaced the...

In all the years and all the different pools and all the lessons learned the hard way...every new year brings a new problem. Sometimes I get lucky and sometimes I don't. At the end of the day, what matters is that the kids had a blast and were safe, maybe my wife was happy, too, sometimes I...
