I wasn't able to drain the water below the skimmer like you would normally do when you winterize. I placed a gizmo in the skimmer and cut up pool noodles to prevent ice damage. I went back out and opened up my actuators and there was still water in them and slush was already forming after 45...

I'm in Tulsa and decided this morning to pull the plugs on the equipment (pump, filter, heater, SWG) but I'm concerned about the skimmer. I put in a gizmo, but my pool is already below freezing and we've haven't even hit the negative temps for the next couple days.

People are the forum and the gentleman at the pool store said it is not recommended. I'm in Tulsa and I just got back in from pulling the plugs on the equipment b/c our pool surface was frozen and our power went off for less than 30 seconds. Just made realize that its going to be too cold to...

I went ahead and submitted reviews on facebook, google, and BBB. Hoping that does something.

Hello, We got a house in November with a pool (my third pool) and you guys have always been informative, although I think this is my second post. Back in February we signed up with a local company in Tulsa to replaster and retile our 26k gallon gunite pool. (send a pm if you want the name)...

Did you ever solve your spa losing water problem? I may have the same issue.

So I had a guy come out and pressure test the lines and they all were good. He did a dye test and nothing showed up. I have not ran the equipment in 2 days and I've lost 2 or so inches in the pool and the hot tub is over half empty now. If there is a leak in the hot tub shell, would that...

I'm fairly stressed about this, so I am going to have a pool company come out and see if they can figure it out. I'll keep you updated.

There is no water around the pump or filter and I have no hose connected to the backwash. I plugged the skimmer line last night and lost 1/2 inch. I also did the bucket test and did not lose any water there. I didn't run the pump at all yesterday. I noticed another issue. We have a hot tub...

Good afternoon all. We just moved into a house with a fiberglass pool, pentair pump, and sand filter. It has 1 skimmer and no main drain. It seems after I did a backwash last week everything started to go south. First the air bubbles appeared with the pump unable to fill completely with...

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur So the air bubbles have not come back. Wiered that they have been there for 3 weeks and after a backwash they disappear. Thought I'd let you all know. Thanks for your assistance.

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur Nothing. Just back washed yesterday. The air bubbles were pretty bad yesterday, so I back washed in the morning and the pump turned off at 2pm and did not start back til today at 8am. I'll updat tomorrow and see if they are back, but...

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur So I haven't had time to go back to the garden hose to isolate the leak, however, I have been air bubble free today. There is still a leak somewhere because there is still water around the pump. I backwashed the filter yesterday...

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur I'll check the plugs and see if there are any cracks. And the bubbles are back with a vengeance. Thanks.

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur So I poured water over the suction side of the pump and it appears, although hard to tell, when I poured water over the skimmer basket and pump lid, the air bubbles stopped. I went over to the pool and the air bubbles were gone and...

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur Sorry, forgot to say thank you for taking the time to help me.

Re: Struggling with air bubbles in the pump basket and retur Got a new lid and it almost seems like the air bubbles got worse, although its probably more of my annoyance of them. Any other suggestions?

The last 2 weeks I have been struggling with air bubbles in the pool and can see bubbles sucking in by the pump pot lid. I replaced the o ring and lubed it up really well. There will be no air bubbles for 2-5 minutes and I think I've won, but the darn bubbles keep coming back. It is a pentair...
