air in lines

  1. Srbinette

    Old pool that came with the house, very frustrated, I was unable to clear the pool all summer, about ready to drain and gut everything.

    Sorry for the lengthy post… So we had some trouble getting our pool clear last year but after some struggle we got to a level that was swimmable, but not as clear as I would have liked. We ended up having our pump completely serviced changing out seal, o-rings, cleaning impeller, etc. Seemed to...

    Spa return draining to pool, water level dropping.

    Howdy! In ground pool with attached spa, at least ten years old, installed by previous homeowners... The attached spa was dropping to the level of the pool water every time the pump shut off and I was "intermittently" losing water from the pool when the pump was running. I looked at the check...
