    Paramount debris canister

    I have an older swimming pool with a Paramount infloor cleaner. I have no idea what to replace the filter with. There doesn't seem to be a canister there. Just an old filter. Does anyone have any idea what I should replace it with?

    Pool pump gauge spins

    I opened my pool today, removed all the plugs, added plugs to motor and heater and turned it on to recycle. The gauge pointer spinned around the dial before settling on a number much higher than normal. Any ideas what would cause that? I'm afraid to leave it running. I don't want it to explode.

    Water doesn't seem to be circulating in my pool

    I'm so confused! I have a 20 x 40 gunite pool with an in floor cleaner and a hot tub as part of the pool. When I turn the pump on, the the valve set to skimmer, the skimmer doesn't seem to be drawing much water. Most of the water seems to be flowing into the hot tub. When I put my hand up to the...
