    Polaris 380 Doing Circles, Tips on side, Doesn't really pick up much and Back Up Valve Shooting Water out hard

    Hi-thanks for your response. The water is constant on the backup valve. Based on those searches, I have ordered a new one, figuring this one is either damaged/broken or needs rebuilt. Either way I will rebuilt the old one then. Two years life expectancy normal for those? I think the float...
