    Jandy flopro 1.5 pump keeps turning off

    I have an in ground pool with a Jandy Zodiac Flopro 1.5 self priming pump. It turns on briefly, maybe 30 seconds, then will turn itself off. I then have to wait a few minutes. I will hear a click and I can turn it on again. The cycle repeats. It is not tripping the breaker. At first I...

    rocks under liner

    I had a liner pool installed last year. Last night I felt a couple rocks under the liner near the steps. It is normal to have some small rocks migrate in? We don't have a water issue and there is a sump under the pool. We run the pump a couple times a year just to be sure there isn't any...

    What am I doing wrong?

    So, I'm fairly new to all of this. I did go through the SLAM process about a month ago and turned my green pool back to clear. Then we went out of town for 4 days. I set the auto chlorinator to feed Trichlor tablets while we were gone. The pool seemed fine when we returned, but just not as...

    Using automatic pool cover for winter

    This is the first time I'm closing a new pool in Ohio. I've been told I can just use my automatic cover as my winter cover, but have concerns with weight of snow, and reduced water level to support the cover. Anyone have experience with this scenario? Thanks for the advice.
