    Re: Poolskim installation - not sure if possible or not?

    Re: Poolskim installation - not sure if possible or not? Hi I have two returns in my pool so I was gonna hook this up to one. Does this reduce the flow of water back to the pool or does the same amount of circulation still occur ? Also still trying to decide on this vs. The solar breeze...

    Is the Solar Breeze solar powered robotic skimmer worth the investment?

    Hi I am about to purchase a solar breeze but also see the pool skim at 110$ which gets great reviews and costs much less. Did you end up buying it? No doubt the solar breeze is a much cooler gadget but price difference is big.

    Hayward multiport valve issue I think

    The multiport seems to be fine. No signs of wear on gasket no leaking etc.. Could it be my pump? The only setting that works is the waste mode? Does the pump actually work in that mode? Or is the water gravity fed since my pool is highe up? This is crazy! I'm stumped.
