Finally-- have the pool chemicals at a good manageable level of understanding--- now have question regarding our Polaris 360-- was doing just fine. Now seems the hoses are letting air in around the connectors--- seemingly leading to loss of pressure and water--the skimmers seem to make gulping noises and the pump will not prime and pressure low on filter. Have tried tightening the connectors and shortened the hose on the Polaris. After measuring the proper length it looked like we could do without seven feet and still reach all around the pool. So instead of cutting the hose (by removing short sections of each piece)--we removed a full section of the hose (7ft). The problem continued--decided to disconnect the Polaris to trouble shoot without it. The problem continued in spite of this. I suggested we add a bit more water--as the level was slightly below ideal--to see if that will fix it--in the mean time does anyone have suggestions? Can the air seepage in the Polaris hose result in low pressure, decreased prime? What is the best way to stop the air from leaking on the hose and was it ok to remove a section versus cut shorter pieces from each section? Or what else should we be considering or looking at to troubleshoot? Please help. Thank you---
