    Polaris 280 refuses to go into one part of shallow end

    This is all very helpful. Thank you. Yes It was cut to size. But stays in the pool and too many curves. I’ll give that a go as well as the eyeball change!

    Polaris 280 refuses to go into one part of shallow end

    Hi all I can’t get my Polaris 280 to clean this side of the pool. I swear I have tried every direction of the thrust. The Polaris refuses to go to the circled part of shallow end. Every time It is headed there It turns right. I have tried 9 o clock on the thrust. Nothing. Any other...

    Pool opening with spring debris and SLAM?

    Hi all! Hope you had a good winter. I opened my pool recently, the algae wasn’t too bad actually. Water was still nice. Relatively clear. I thought I needed to Slam on every opening, So I started. It’s been 4 days and I seriously just can’t stop the spring time debris from falling into...

    Skimmer basket on grass ideas

    Yea I would love to add a layer of pavers that match the rest of the patio. It causes me problems this way with the cover too. The cover kills the grass every year. I stopped covering It.

    Skimmer basket on grass ideas

    Yes they are but I imagine not very deep. Maybe an inch or two. Should I just extend the rock into the mortar a few inches?

    Skimmer basket on grass ideas

    Hi there. I have a skimmer basket that is on grass. A previous contractor put pavers standing up around It and It looked hideous. I just pulled them out. Any ideas on what I can do around the square? I was thinking putting more coping stones around It but maybe overskill. What about some...

    First jet in series of returns bubbling.

    I have two setups. 2600 rpm for 10 hours a day and 3200 for 2 hours. My pool is very large and I have 2.5 inch pipes I made some adjustments and relubed my o ring on pump and my air pocket is gone.

    Help optimizing return jet directions for water flow

    I have my main drain valve and both skimmer valves open 100%. Sounds like this is wrong?

    Help optimizing return jet directions for water flow

    Thanks. In general, should i have the jets facing down to go deeper or up to agitate the water a bit?

    Help optimizing return jet directions for water flow

    Hi Not sure if this is a THING here but maybe It is!!! I don’t think I am optimizing the direction of my return jets to get debris into the skimmers and also to optimize water flow. To be honest, there’s no rhyme or reason to them right now, so I have attached a photo that has markings of my...

    Purpose of check valve on spa return side?

    Yes. I have automation and spillover. For a couple hours per day. So if I have Spa completely off while pool is on, then the check valve is obsolete? One other question. Spillover suctions water from the pool, yes?

    Purpose of check valve on spa return side?

    But if that’s the return line, how will the water drain down? The valve is closed to the rest of the pool and the only place for It to go down is the spa. I’m confused at how It can go back up!

    First jet in series of returns bubbling.

    I diverted away from the SWG and turned It to 0 and I still have bubbles coming from the first return jets. I diverted away from the heater and I still have bubbles. But I guess that makes sense since air can’t get in on pressure side. My pump window has even more air in It now. Is there...

    First jet in series of returns bubbling.

    Three or so months since I cleaned the filter. I cleaned the swg with acid last week. If there was air coming in after the pump would I see water leaking?

    First jet in series of returns bubbling.

    Hi all Not sure if what I say can give a clue to where the issue is or if this is normal. My filter basket has very small bubbles in It. Mostly water See photo. My returns go in two directions. One series to the shallow end of the pool and the other to the deep end. They split off...

    Pool cleaner pump on but cleaner not moving , no pressure!

    Thank you. Fixed It. Realized that my Pentair actuator valve was pushing too much water to my spa side and the cleaner wasn’t drawing enough water.
