    Water shoots out of skimmer basket

    What I'm worried about is that it's an old filter and the internals might be fragile if they are made of plastic. I can't tell all of you haw relieved I am that it's in the filter and not underground between the the filter and the pool.

    Water shoots out of skimmer basket

    I ran the pump on bypass for a few hours with none of the issues that I have been concerned about. I guess that means it is inside the filter. Should I just order three new laterals and have those on hand when I disassemble it? Are there any other issues inside the filter that could cause this...

    Water shoots out of skimmer basket

    Thank you for all the help so far. Yes it is an older filter. I have to confess now that my pressure gauge doesn't seem to be working. I had a pool service replace the multiport and the sand. I have no idea how much is in there or if it was done correctly. All returns are open and no eyeballs...

    Water shoots out of skimmer basket

    I haven't ran it in bypass yet to check that, but I am curious what could be plugged in the filter?

    Water shoots out of skimmer basket

    I've looked in the skimmer and don't see a vortex. So you are saying air is getting sucked into the system somewhere? That makes sense. What would be the best way to find the source of this air leak? BTW, the guy who did the work on my pool tried to tell me it was the filter and that you...

    Water shoots out of skimmer basket

    Hi all, I am not a new pool owner but I am new to these forums. I am so glad to have found an online pool resource. As I said, I have had my pool for 12 years now (before that I was my parent's pool boy for years), but I am trying to get the pool going again after a long period of inactivity. My...
