From the main blog page none of the links appear to work. Pool math, pool school, even the donate page on the bottom. They work fine with Microsoft Edge. But on my PC or mobile with chrome it tries to go to the various links and redirects back to the blog page every time. Anyone else with this...

I spoke to my builder today and they helped me fix the problem. With the pump off I turned the valve so that the handle was facing me / backwash pipe. Unscrew the handle and pull up and off about half way, so that it misses the plastic stoppers and can now turn 360 degress instead of just 270...

Just discovered that it's very easy to pop off the little valve handle and replace it in any direction. This doesn't change the flow of water of course, but instead of the handle pointing down to signify the backwash pipe is closed it could point up. I think this confirms that the handle was on...

I think I was misusing the term backwash then. We have always used this port to lower the water level. But this is the problem - I can't rotate that valve so that the white arrow points toward me. The handle only points in three directions - left, down, right. None of which seem like good...

Handle can't go up and when it goes down I get water from backwash and thru the filter to chlorinator section. So this just means it's broken I guess? It isn't closing properly when it's straight down.

When the handle points down toward the backwash pipe I get a flood of water. The same as if the handle pointed left toward the pump. The previous poster said the handle should point opposite of the area to close, which makes sense but seems impossible. So why would pointing the handle that way...

That made sense to me at first, and the little white arrow opposite the black handle does say "closed" on it, but I can't point the black handle up away from the backwash pipe. I left it pointing right because that's the only way I don't get a flood of water from the backwash pipe. Is the...

**Response to new post - The pump does not display an error. As you can see below, the pump is working great and floods my equipment area as I play around with things. I ran another test which was interesting. I removed the chlorinator so now there is an open end before it gets to the return...

- The filter was cleaned at the end of the season, and I cleaned it when opening the pool. It doesn't look clogged. Pretty clean. - The return is open, but I've tried flipping thru the return/fountain options and can't get water from either. - Plugs are out and eyeballs are in. I can try...

Hi, I just opened my pool for the first time and I'm having some flow problems. I can get the pump to pull water, but then it doesn't go anywhere... The pool was installed last June and professionally closed. I opened it myself yesterday - took off the cover, return plugs, and gizmo. I replaced...
